(DVD). The second volume of the best-selling original Groove
Essentials 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. The grooves span rock, funk,
R&B/hip-hop, jazz (sticks and brushes), world/specialty,
extreme tempos, all-purpose, hybrid, rideless, classic and
odd-meters. The companion play-Along book and CD contain over 90
tracks, including every song from the DVD in their full-length
versions, minus the drums; allowing drummers to expand their skills
by playing any of the grooves with a band and recording themselves
on audio or video (optional) to helpfacilitate the learning
process. These tracks also supply a variety of fill-in and soloing
opportunities to challenge advanced players. In addition, the book
features Igoe's extended "global tours" that will test even the
most seasoned professional's chops, creativity and stamina and, as
a "first of its kind" bonus, there is a full-length orchestral
play-along track designed to provide a taste of playing in a full
orchestra, complete with multiple moving tempos, dynamics and
feels.
