DVD Reviews of Tommy Igoe Great Hands for a Lifetime
DVD Review: A highly useful tool for drummers of any experience level
Summary: 5 Stars
As a Vic Firth PDT and Hudson Music TIP member, I had been waiting (like many) for the release of this. I already use Groove Essentials 1.0 and 2.0 with my private middle school and high school students, and Groove Essentials is on the syllabus for my college students. Needless to say, I got what I was expecting...not just another drum "video", but technique concepts that can be applied not only to my students, but to myself as well.
I've participated in clinics before where a drummer on stage plays some 4-way coordination piece of 5 in the right foot, 3 in the left foot, 11 on the right hand and 7 in the left hand, yet when asked how drummers can get to do that, the answer was "practice". Yeah...that doesn't help. One of the things I try to work with my students is getting them to not only establish a practice routine (you gotta make the time commitment!), but on what to do during this practice routine.
GHFALT can be incorporated to any practice routine, and I'm sure you will see amazing results. I've ordered numerous books (Don Fam's Weaker Side, Chafee's Technique series, and more) in search of that which can take my own playing to the next level. Yet, once I took hold of a great concept in this video - playing simple concepts at a high level (Sorry Tommy if I didn't the quote exactly right. That's why I didn't use quotation marks, and I didn't want to take the time to scan through the video right now.) - it made me rethink my approach. Once I began sharing it with my students, they began to be challenged - at what they thought would be simple.
GHFALT is not just another drum video, and it's definitely not a video you can just sit back and watch. The poster went up in the room with my drum set. The ebook is printed off to use. The mp3s go on the ipod. More importantly, my metronome's out of the bag more often, and the extra practice pad that was in the closet is now on a stand in front of the tv. Even my 4 year old was engrossed in it.
GHFALT is a MUST HAVE for your collection.
