Groove Essentials Book and CD
Tommy Igoe

This is the most professional, comprehensive, well-written, user-friendly, and common-sense instructional for real world applications that I’ve seen. Eighty-eight easy-to-follow charts with helpful commentary fill the book, while the six-hour play-along CD contains MP3 music files of all the charts, recorded by real musicians in real time, minus drums. A world-class package.

Groove Essentials/The Play-Along offers a focused and interactive groove experience for drummers of every skill level with more than six hours of music! Including are professional charts, multiple tempos, groove variations and 88 separate tracks that explore all 47 grooves from the DVD.
