Arrgh...what more can be said. Tommy reminds me of Buddy in the relaxed but driving way to pushes the band. Just killer!

much better than lights, lasers, & a turntable noise-making guy...

[@ianidinuse]

Igoe + Kennedy VS Weckl + Patitucci.
Not saying anything, all four of 'em are among my favourites.

[@MrFchank]

Igoe drives a band like nobody else.

[@brucem5508]

Pay particular attention to 5:10-5:23, 6:00-6:12 and 7:15-7:27, savage nonchalance, brutal delicacy and florid accentuation

[@erikshen1107]

Guitar Center's nickname for him was TOMMY EGO
