Title: An Essential Teaching Tool
Review: Tommy Igoe's "Groove Essentials" DVD is simply the best drumsetinstructional I've worked with. The 47 grooves can be used ina variety of musical settings to great effect while servingas exercizes that vastly improve one's coordination and independence.The mark of a good teacher is not only how much an instructor knows but how well he or she can communicate those ideas andtechniques. Tommy's teaching style is clear and articulate and his enthusiasm and love of playing show through in each segment.He also addresses the fears and frustrations we all face whenattempting to master new and challenging material remindingus to be patient and have fun.I've worked with many instructional videos over the years,some good and some downright useless, but "Groove Essentials"is a cut above the rest for really improving one's playing.I only wish that it (and the DVD format) had been around when Istarted playing some 40 years ago!Get it - it's a BARGAIN!!
