VIC FIRTH PRESENTS:
TOMMY IGOE'S GROOVE ESSENTIALS


The new Groove Essentials DVD is based on the Groove Essentials poster created by Tommy Igoe and Vic Firth. Mastering these patterns will greatly expand your knowledge while allowing you to become a more well-rounded player with the confidence to perform in virtually any musical situation.

A selection of 12 grooves from the DVD are included here courtesy of Hudson Music, with new grooves rotated in every week. If you enjoy these video clips, we encourage you to purchase the full DVD at your local music store, or directly online at www.hudsonmusic.com. We think that Tommy's Groove Essentials DVD is destined to become a standard in the modern drumset educational library.
