Reader Reviews I don't normally write reviews, but this DVD inspired me to write one. After getting my drum set, I purchased quite a few drum DVDs looking for the best substitue for lessons. The two Tommy Igoe DVDs (Beginning Drums and Groove Essentials) are by far the best DVDs I've ever seen for that purpose. In fact, Tommy actually shows students learning the drums and talks to the audience as if he's in a lesson. I didn't really need the first section on setting up the drums as I'd already had quite a bit time to play around with them, but for someone that's new to the drums, that part is excellent too. Tommy has one of the best personalities for teaching that I've ever seen on a DVD. As an expert level, accomplished drummer, he knows the material and is able to professionally convey it on a DVD to his students. His attitude of having fun and feeling the music also comes out in his excellent approach to teaching. Having never taken a proper lesson, I can say that I've learned more from Tommy's DVDs than I have from any other source. The section on drum fills was especially usefull to me as no other DVD describes the technique as he does. I would HIGHlY recommend both of his DVDs to anyone learning to play the drums or even to intermediate drummers who want to pick up
