Movie Reviews of Tommy Igoe Groove Essentials

Movie 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).
