When it was originally released in 2004, master drummer/educator Tommy Igoe's Groove Essentials DVD and Play-Along Book/CD set the world standard for groove development. Practical yet progressive, Groove Essentials provided an encyclopedia of fundamental drumset patterns for drummers of every age, ability level and musical application. Today, tens of thousands of drummers and teachers around the world, from beginning students to full-time professionals, use Groove Essentials 1.0 to enhance their technique, musicianship and general drumset knowledge. And now, Groove Essentials 2.0 from Hudson Music and Vic Firth picks up where the top-selling original left off.
Complementing the 47 grooves contained in Groove Essentials 1.0, Groove Essentials 2.0 features a DVD and companion book/CD package with 53 brand new grooves and over 100 variations for intermediate to advanced players. Students will learn the difference between ghost and grace notes (while being encouraged to experiment with both in all six groove "families") as well as important "go-to" grooves, like the Train and Bo-Diddley beats. For more advanced players and professionals, GE 2.0 introduces the concepts of groove construction, interpretation and manipulation- training drummers to think like musicians in order to maximize their full potential. The DVD features more than 70 new 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.
On the 3-hour, 45-minute DVD, Igoe 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. Groove Essentials 2.0 grooves cover Rock, Funk, R&B/Hip-Hop, Jazz (sticks and brushes), World/Specialty, Extreme Tempos, All-Purpose, Hybrid, Rideless, Classic and Odd-Meters. The DVD also features German, Spanish and Japanese subtitles.
