Tommy Igoe: Groove Essentials 2.0 (UK-import)
This second tutorial from jazz drummer Tommy Igoe in the 'Groove Essentials' series introduces the concepts of groove construction, interpretation and manipulation - training drummers to think like musicians in order to maximise their full potential. The programme features more than 70 songs covering 4/4, 2/2, 6/8 and 3/4 time signatures, with three levels of difficulty for 5/4, 7/8 and 9/8 meters. Tommy discusses and demonstrates each groove in multiple tempos, alone and with a band, with many patterns shown on both acoustic and on Roland HD-1 and TD-9 electronic drumkits. The grooves span rock, funk, R'n'B/hip-hop, jazz (sticks and brushes), world/specialty, extreme tempos, all-purpose, hybrid, rideless, classic and odd-meters.
