DVD Reviews of Tommy Igoe Groove Essentials 2.0 DVD
DVD Review: informative, funny, professional, sobering, worth the money
Summary: 5 Stars
I wish all drumming DVD's were this good - imagine someone who isn't a big name and on the cover of MODERN DRUMMER every few years - overexposed by their manager. Tommy is such a person, not a drumming 'pin up' or very much seems to come across that way.
The DVD covers many types of styles, which aren't even needed for many drummers if they have a rock or jamming background. However, I will assume that Tommy was not aiming at that market.
Tommy pays the viewer the compliment of assuming that they would at least like to investigate different possibilities. The grooves shown can help you so much by showing what styles are currently being played. If you don't like a certain 'category' of music, you don't have to use the groove he demonstrates to play in just that genre. You can take what you want from the DVD and apply it as appropriate.
Tommy explains each groove, then plays along to a prerecorded piece - the recorded examples come off sounding like jingles or between scenes incidental music in a TV show, but then again they have to be brief to illustrate the point. His playing has vitality, as one would expect, which helps to sell the whole thing to a player who may be unfamiliar with the sound of a particular drum part or genre of music.
In fact, I only feel a little sad that I'm not living in New York so I could have lessons with Tommy, as I'm sure his infectious enthusiasm would benefit me. I am not affiliated with him in any way.
This is one of the most useful additions to my musical DVD collection - I don't have the first instalment. I decided to take a chance with this after seeing a few clips on the DRUMMERWORLD website.
Plus, it has subtitles - a great help for our non English speaking friends. For that reason, together with the above remarks, it deserves the highest rating.
