Tommy Igoe brings his 25 years of teaching and playing experience to bear, creating the first DVD for beginner drummers! He takes you on a journey that starts with taking a brand new drum set out of the box and gets you started making music right away. Setting Up! (Part 1) is dedicated to understanding your new drums. All of your drums and hardware, along with Tommy's unique "Power Square" concept, are covered in detail, starting you off in the right direction. Start Playing! (Part 2) will get you playing and having fun right away. Tommy takes you through the basics of how to hold your sticks and how to use your pedals. He even brings out some young students to help demonstrate some great grooves and fills that you can play right away. Special DVD Features allow you to select Tommy playing each of the grooves super slowly so you can really take your time to work everything out. 3 great songs are included, and played by young students, with play-along versions of each one, so that you can start jamming and making music right away! 140 minutes.

Tommy Igoe has recorded with Lauryn Hill, Stanley Jordan, New York Voices, Blood Sweat and Tears, Dave Grusin, The Chieftains, Marc Mancina, Patti Austin, Mary Clayton, Darlene Love, Rita Coolidge and Dave Wilcox.

The Best Drum Video I've Seen!
Posted by MusicalMan77 from Hee Haw Hell, OK on Apr 28, 2008
Experience w/product: I own it
Reviewer's Background: Active musician; beginning drummer
Reviewer's Play Style: CCM, Rock, Pop, Folk, etc.
As a beginning drummer, I had several other videos, but this one puts the others to shame! GREAT teacher, very easy to understand. Video is well-shot, well-produced, and uses students for some demos to show you that "if these kids can do it, you can too!" Half is set-up, half is beginning grooves. I wish more was devoted to the grooves, but guess now I'll have to buy Tommy's "Groove Essentials" too!

Reviewer's Play Style: just learning
I have to agree with the other guys here... this is a great video, and the instructor is great; he's easy to listen to, makes you feel comfortabe, and full of good tips that others overlook or neglect.

I have a couple other DVDs, but this is head and shoulders above the others.

I highly recommend.

Tommy Igoe is with out a doubt the best instructional drummer out there. Drummers who have years of experience will learn something from this Dvd. I was upset and frustrated when I got my drums and wasn't learning anything and on the verge of getting rid of them, then I got this video and I can't stop playing. This guy rocks and is garunteed to help anyone who has alot or no experience play. Get this. You won't regret it.

The Best Instructor, period!
Posted by Drum lover! from seattle, or on May 27, 2006

Reviewer's Play Style: rock and jazz
Tommy Igoe is fast becoming legend amongst educators and players for his, no nonsense and likeable approach. He doesn't show off (thank god!) and just talks basic, good drumming habits. I have recommended this video to over 50 new drummers and all have raved about it! If you are brand new to drumming, this is the ONLY DVD to get. Also, check out his "Groove Essentials" videos and books, for more advanced playing.
