Tommy Igoe demonstrates forty-seven of today's most popular drum patterns, including a performance of each with a rhythm track played by some of New York's top players. This unique feature allows the student to hear what each groove sounds and feels like with real music played by live musicians. As a special bonus, the DVD package includes a free Groove Essentials poster (courtesy of Vic Firth Drum Sticks), which contains fully-notated examples of everyone of the forty-seven grooves on the DVD.
