DVD Reviews of Tommy Igoe Groove Essentials
DVD Review: He is good but a little bit too much BS
Summary: 4 Stars
I like his method and sequence. He is very good and apparently very passionate about it. He talks a lot before and after getting into the real substance.DVD Review: After a 30 year hiatus, great tool for relearning
Summary: 5 Stars
I played for about 5 years, 30 years ago. While I tapped my feet and hands during those 30 years, I forget a lot of technique. This DVD helped me to get back a lot of what I'd forgotten. And it is opening my eyes to stuff I'd never ventured into. It is a great, comprehensive look at a lot of different types of grooves.
I suggest putting the poster up somewhere that you can see it easily while playing. Seeing Igoe perform is a great help, but for slowing it way down and getting the coordination working, the poster is indispensable.
Getting the old grooves back and learning some new ones will make me a much better drummer than I was 30 years ago. I will be getting Groove Essentials 2.0 when I get 1.0 down.
DVD Review: How come I never heard of this guy?
Summary: 4 Stars
I have this video, and yes it's very helpful. I'm female, and have been playing a Vistalite for a few years (ie, John Bonham's orange kit)...most drummers I know or have seen play only have ONE groove at most, and maybe three fills, but that's another animal.
Slight drawbacks: I would have liked a slower intro demo--there's one with snare drum rudaments, and he starts out so slowly that literally ANYONE could play where he starts the exercise. Needless to say, it gets fast quick, but that's to be expected.
i didn't care for the multiple camera angles, and unnecessary film effects. What should have been done was "screen in a screen" with the foot cam on the small one; the rest showing his hands where you can see what's he's doing.
he DOES have a GREAT feel, and he's a hottie, which never hurts.
I pretty much have all the other drum movies and videos, and my other faves are "Classic rock drum solos with Carmine Appice," "Drumline" (very inspirational drum movie), "the Gene Krupa Story" (with BRILLIANT fakery from Sal Mineo--you still have to be GOOD to fake gene Krupa...), Led Zeppelin's "the Song remains the Same" (look for my amber Vistalite kit in this film), and anything featuring Steve Smith (as in Journey), Neil Peart (as in Rush), Stewart Copeland (the Police) and Santana--who always plays with at least three GREAT drummers live.
some guys I know personally if you like drums are Steve Blank on YouTube, and featured on tight-squeezeband.com, and Sean Page, who I once watched fake "2112" and i didn't notice he was faking it--VERY impressive (out of Colorado).
DVD Review: D's reveiw
Summary: 4 Stars
Tommy Igoes DVD for groove essntials is great. It's perfect for anyone from begginners to advanced players. For people that don't know how to read music to people that can. And it's perfect for the the people that don't have the time or money to take drum lessons. Tommy Igoe is
very thorough and informative in this DVD and it's helped me out alot.
thanks,D-man
