Review: Great groove encyclopedia and learning tool - This book, and accompanying groove track recordings, is invaluable for the drummer of all skill levels on 2 different levels. First it provides a comprehensive groove encyclopedia that can be learned and played in almost any style. Very handy. Second, the book and recorded groove/songs teach the drummer about song stucture and how to build and track grooves to fit seemlessly into the song whether an 8 bar, 12 bar, 16 bar or other song construct. I've never seen this approach elsewhere and working with the book is fun, challenging and will definitely enhance your song management skills!
Review: Excellent guide for self-teaching and practice - If this was merely an encyclopedia of drum grooves/licks, it would already be a great book, because the selection of grooves is -as the name says- essential, something that every drummer should add to his/her repertoire. But it is even better than that because of the playalong tunes. Each of the 47 grooves comes with four variations and two accompanying high quality MP3 tunes in slow and fast tempos. The slow ones are for practice and improvisation, whereas the fast ones contain additional challenges, such as room for breaks, fills, rhythmic figures and more sophisticated arrangements. Thus, in addition to learning rock, funk, jazz, latin and world music grooves, the playalong tunes also help to develop musical skills, listening, creativity, and improvisation. If you can read music, you might not need the DVD, although the latter helps to understand the phrasing of the grooves better. This is not really a beginner's book, but I wish I had this when I started playing drums many years ago. Highly recommended - five stars aren't enough!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Genius and generous study system
*by C***. on August 5, 2017*

I worked out of Groove Essentials 2.0 for a long time and found it amazing. Then I started taking lessons with Tommy and he started me on 1.0 and it's surprisingly challenging. So I highly recommend it to all you snooty "advanced" players ( like me). Sain to try to play a simple rock groove 100% with the band. Much much harder than I thought. But most of all I find it a ton of fun to use. It's very appetizing. For example, Mr Igoe talks about the track and discusses the style, gives interesting frames of reference and drummers and bands to study. And if you have ANY chance, I HIGHLY recommend studying with Tommy. It is life changing.
