I have loved this over and over. I got turned to Tommy by a fold out chart of daily rudiment essentials in still using after all of these years. Wonderful player and a whole lot of fun. The Vic Firth Tommy I’ve sticks are terrific-very high speed and I highly recommend them.
Tommy Igoe is a wonderful drummer and instructor! He did a clinic at one of my local music stores and I met him, such a down to earth guy and funny too!
i love the way he teaches out of the box, he's not saying "this is this and only this" he basically says that whatever feels good to you is right. i love that. also love those evans ec2's ;)
I absolutely love this groove. I am still working on groove essentials 1. Have a long way to go. You are amazing. So glad I bought the first 47 grooves It is very inspiring. My drum teacher even bought it. He is a terrific drummer and teacher, but I kept talking about you so much and l loaned him my copy under strict orders to be careful with it that he got his own copy. Bettina. Saying thanks again!
groove reminds me of gadd, Igoe's a great guy and teacher. Like the fact that he said "I dont even know what that is" talking bout swunk, but he can certainly play it.
@ThomasMetal75 I suppose that's all how you interpret it. I for one, think the left hand is more of the "rider" in this groove. All in all, they asked for rideless, he showed them this, and he got a huge paycheck.
Here's one of Tommy Igoe's successors on the Lion King chair, Carter McLean, discussing and playing this very same groove! th-cam.com/video/7k_8XTVMWvE/w-d-xo.html (Direct links to the two performances: 2:02 Igoe, th-cam.com/video/7k_8XTVMWvE/w-d-xo.html McLean.)
The pattern in snare is Brazilian Timbalada clave, but timbalada is more rich in the "floor tom". Search for Timbalada, Olodum, Daniela Mercury (early ears) like "Swing da Cor"
New Orleans is something Tommy should mentioned to get the point across about the beat. Some people would pick up on what he's saying much easier! AWESOME!
Ritchie Hayword plays a lot of these kind of grooves. I ordered the Groove Essentials 2.0 & tried it in my computer, & in a DVD player. Both places would not play it. My computer has only audio tracks no video. I cannot find a contact to discuss this. can anyone help me.
To get left hand shuffle speed. Two notes on the throw, two notes on the pull. Two motions, toss and lift. Each produces two notes. Any tightness will inhibit the motion and kill the bounce. Good Luck!
@TheMakyoura he isn't annoying, he just tells it like it is! What, do you want him to do?- butter it up for half an hour and waste time... he just tells it how it is!!
Does this guy not look like Keith Carlock from any angle but the front. Same shirt, hair, facial expressions, just different stick grip and drum setup.
Yes, but what can you do...technically drums in general are "riding" considering they keep the time, but he probably came up with this to satisfy crazy producers that come up with retarded scenarios, like we don't want "riding", or for engineers "make that sound red, and make that sound yellow"...in general most producers are insane!

Incase anyone hasn't picked up on it, this is the groove from "I Just Can't Wait To Be King". Thanks for posting! Cheers!
Beautiful execution! Amazing and wonderful world-class drummer!

Dude, that left hand shuffle is hard, I've been trying to learn that. Not easy!
Igoe's a fantastic drummer. I need to work on that shuffle thing.
Tommy really has some great control shown in this video.
Thanks for being one of my mentors
Truly amazing.
A TWO!......bless you

Best drummer in the World
Hey Tommy. Do you switch to left hand moeller technique on the faster shuffle?
If you can, check him out when he plays at Birdland in NYC. He's amazing with his big band.
Tommy Igoe flies on the drumset.
THE BASS PLAYER GOOD TO BE GOOD AS WELL
haha, it really sounds "jungle" about it!
New Orleans is something Tommy should mentioned to get the point across about the beat. Some people would pick up on what he's saying much easier! AWESOME!
came this dvd out with playalong cd... than i would buy this one

@sweetfly66 I know, working hard on great hands for a lifetime!

fucking GREAT left hand!!!!!!!
@tliseth Agreed. Workin on it.
hpw can you practice that shuffle with your left hand? it's so freakin hard!
Reminds me of Richie Hayward this groove.
totally agree his shuffed left hand is doing the riding in this groove, great groove anyway though
The only thing better than Tommy Igoe drumming, is Tommy Igoe talking about how good he's drumming.
he is the best and steve Gadd .. very friendly
Yeah for a bigger backbeat... it is a 5a stick which is small...
Does anyone know what kind of earphones he is using? Do they act as earplugs as well as earphones?
Thanks!
That sounds like Stanton Moore would play as well.
Mel Bay's complete Modern Drum Set by Frank Briggs
What sticks does he play ? excusee me for my English :S
what is the name of this kind of ending? if i talk whit a drummer, how i have to tell him Correctly that i want this closing in the song?
how dare them to dislike this video ...
@TheMakyoura he isn't annoying, he just tells it like it is! What, do you want him to do?- butter it up for half an hour and waste time... he just tells it how it is!!
This one is good for training your left hand..
cool guy
I wonder how lessons would be with Tommy . . .
i like
Isn't the high floor tom @ 2:05 still technically riding?
@suzzerbuzzer
Perfect groove for this tone CROOSROADS BY ERIC CLAPTON
Eric Clapton "crossroads" ON YOU TUBE
WAU!!!
Очень 😋
@thportnoy ok thx ^^
wow
Did anyone else notice that he used his sticks backwards?
dotted quarters. Study Bellson.
wouldnt that hi-hat stomping be considered riding by that producer?
Does this guy not look like Keith Carlock from any angle but the front. Same shirt, hair, facial expressions, just different stick grip and drum setup.
wouldnt that be considered riding on the floor tom. that producer should have said no riding on cymbals
he is probably talking about his Lion King musical work ...
press 3, 3, 3
omg : >
lol that microphone is ridiculous!
lol this dude goofy but he be gettin it on the drums tho
Yes, but what can you do...technically drums in general are "riding" considering they keep the time, but he probably came up with this to satisfy crazy producers that come up with retarded scenarios, like we don't want "riding", or for engineers "make that sound red, and make that sound yellow"...in general most producers are insane!
Microphone O.o
insane drummer, hes no dancer though haha :P
Doing silly little dances like that drastically improves your feel on the kit in my opinion. It's a mentality thing I would say.
