Groove Essentials for the 21st-Century Drummer is full of grooves from many different musical backgrounds. Each groove has a slow, and a fast chart along with a CD track to accompany them. The grooves feature 4 things, the actual groove, variations on the groove, a written-out chart to play along with on the CD, and an explanation by Tommy Igoe on each specific groove, including aspects you shouldn’t take lightly, and challenges that each groove presents. While this book doubles almost as a dictionary, any drummer that is wanting to create a genuine groove for some of the more ethnic/authentic music, they probably shouldn’t use a copy & paste groove from this book, however, they will hold up on their own. The Global Tours include long charts to play along with, some of them are even 20 minutes. This is a very good book every drummer should have. <br> | Groove Essentials for the 21st-Century Drummer is full of grooves from many different musical backgrounds.
