5.0 out of 5 stars If you are getting 1 - This is it, August 26, 2003
By A Customer
After a 20 year absence from drumming.. i bought a drum set.. put it together and started playing. I ordered this dvd a few weeks later. Well the first thing I did after watching him set up the drums was take apart my drums and fix what i had done wrong.

As far as playing.. Ive checked hundred of web sites, downloaded lessons, and purchased 4 other DVD's to learn.. This is the best BY FAR. Several good fills, grooves to jam to.. its great. I never write reviews on stuff I get from amazon.. but had to give praise.. Buy many, you can't learn to much, but if you are just getting 1, get this one.. if you're buying many.. this is a must have.

Great DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars This should ship with every drum kit, November 30, 2004
Depending on the drum brand you may or may not receive instructions on how to set up the kit, much less how to get started. To an aspiring new drummer this DVD will not only lead you through how to set up the kit in an optimum configuration - it will also take you through the basics of selecting sticks, strike zones on your drums, and how to adjust and use each piece of a standard kit.

I like the format, which is divided into Setting Up and Start Playing. The Setting Up part is full of information and tips. My husband has been playing for over 40 years and he learned a few things from this section (incredible as that may seem).

Start Playing provides a little fun and a lot of encouragement. After tips on selecting and holding sticks, and a quick overview of drums and pedals, you get three grooves that even a new drummer can quickly master - building confidence - and some excellent instruction on fills and rolls. A nice feature is the three play-along pieces, which adds even more fun to this DVD.

Igoe is a masterful instructor and accomplished drummer. You feel as though he's in the room with you throughout this DVD, and the wealth of knowledge - presented in easy to grasp bits - that he imparts is amazing. I also recommend getting Igoe's "Groove Essentials" (ASIN B00064YTKM) for anyone who has progressed into intermediate or better playing. It will take you to the next step.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, November 9, 2004
By Brian Barao (Connecticut) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Very well done. This DVD teaches you everything from setting up your set to basic grooves that the pro's use. He also has some of his students come in and play but it's not what you think. I thought it would be some little 10 year old playing and sounding better than me. It's not, they make mistakes too. He goes over grip and how to hit the drum very well and to top it off you can download play along songs that they use in the video on the web site.
