Represents a new-generation play-along package and a quantum leap over anything else previously available in this vein with over 6 hours of music, including 47 grooves and feels from all over the world-most in two tempos-88 tracks in all, truly professional sketch charts and incisive text by Tommy. An interactive groove experience for all level drummers with rhythm tracks that feature some of New York City's top musicians. Works in conjunction with the best-selling Grove Essentials DVD. For beginning drummers: simple rock beats with a real band feel; for intermediate drummers: syncopated, 16th-note grooves as well as jazz/swing feels; for advanced drummers: challenging world grooves, as well as jazz shuffles, jazz waltzes and R&B feels. Additionally, you'll find 3 "Global Tour" tracks that are 15-minute journeys through all the grooves and feels you've learned. The CD features all of the rhythm tracks in MP3 format, so that they can be downloaded into your computer (MAC or PC) and moved to your iPod , or any portable MP3 player. The disc is also playable in all MP3-capable CD and DVD players.

Just keeps getting better...,
By Tommy Tunes "tommy_tunes71" (Eugene, OR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Groove Essentials - The Play-Along 1.0 : A Complete Groove Encyclopedia for the 21st Century Drummer (Spiral-bound)
I highly recommend the Groove Essentials DVD and the Play Along book/CD. This is intended for all skill levels. The play along is a great concept that many drumming books do not have, which is allowing you to play the drum part of the track. There is over 80 tracks you can play along with and they are all drumless. The CD has several different styles of music from Rock, Funk, R&B, World, Salsa, and more. The tracks are of good quality recordings at 192kbps and are mixed well. You will not be disappointed with this book and CD!

Every Drummer Should have this.,
This review is from: Groove Essentials - The Play-Along 1.0 : A Complete Groove Encyclopedia for the 21st Century Drummer (Spiral-bound)
I have been drumming for many years and have been searching for a collection of drum beats that cover as many genres as possible. This book is the not best for a beginner, but excellent for an intermediate to advanced player. Everyone should have this book!!

This review is from: Groove Essentials - The Play-Along 1.0 : A Complete Groove Encyclopedia for the 21st Century Drummer (Spiral-bound)
I hadn't played drums since high school - 40 years ago - and I had never assembled them from scratch. When I ordered myself a set last November I also ordered Tommy's "Getting Started on Drums". I was so impressed by the way he took the mystery out of assembling and tuning the drums as well as the starter lessons on the DVD that I decided to get "Grove Essentals" both the DVD and this book. I was not dissapointed. Once again his teaching style is friendly, animated (not a dry lecture) and easy to follow.
