Includes: Setting up your drums, Start playing, and various special features including 3 great songs with play-along versions. Review: Essentials for beginners - Getting Started on Drums is basically "how to set up your drum kit", with a couple simple beats at the end. I would recommend this DVD if you're an absolute beginner, but otherwise it's only good for picking up a few tips regarding setup. I watched it once and it's now shelved, probably forever. Good Netflix rental, bad purchase. However Groove Essentials is a DVD I will probably be referring to for the next couple of years and is absolutely worth buying. I've rented a few drum DVDs on Netflix, and most of them include a lot of filler, like around 80-90% filler, and the material included in them should be covered in about 10 minutes. Tommy's DVDs get to point after about a 10min introduction, so it amounts to 210 minutes of purely relevant instructional material that gets progressively more difficult. Tommy's instruction is clear and focused, and the film production doesn't interfere with his teaching (which doesn't seem like a lot to ask for unless you've seen some of the other drum DVDs out there). I wish that he would break the beats down to the extent that he does with the rock section(the first section) on the later sections, but I guess that's what the included chart is for... Overall this is a good DVD for beginners getting started, or for later intermediate/early advanced players looking to expand their sound and broaden their range of styles. This DVD is probably below the ability of professional level players. I have it uploaded to my Ipod and practice along with it about once a day. Because of this DVD, Jojo Mayer's Secret Weapons for the Modern Drummer, and some quality daily practice time, my friends have expressed amazement at how quickly I've progessed at drums in only 10 months. Review: good purchase - after purchasing a starter drum kit for our two boys, we included this dvd. there are clips on youtube for you to preview. this is an excellent choice for someone just starting out. if they have even a little prior experience i would recommend a different dvd but by this same drummer. very well done. could be a little louder recording considering drummers are playing along with it. rock on! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 228 Reviews | ## Images ![Getting Started on Drums Featuring Tommy Igoe Setting Up / Start Playing - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51DIsIy1+OL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essentials for beginners *by T***P on October 24, 2009* Getting Started on Drums is basically "how to set up your drum kit", with a couple simple beats at the end.

Tommy is very thorough, and starts at the beginning. He really is a great teacher. I'm a music teacher myself, and let me just say, as a teacher, this guy knows how to convey ideas and share knowledge like a pro. He explains what he is doing and why, and is positive and encouraging the whole time. The drums aren't like other instruments where you take it out of the case and start playing--you have to put them together (at least the first time), and if this is done wrong, you have set yourself up for difficulty later on. Tommy shows you how to set up your kit correctly, including everything from assembling isolation mounted toms to tuning resonant heads to bass drum pedal setup. Again, as a music teacher, I can tell you that getting started right is half the battle. (Okay, maybe not half, but you get the idea.) And rather than playing everything himself (which might give you a "shucks, I can't do that" attitude), he has students demonstrate most of the beats (which gives you subliminal encouragement-"if a kid can do it, then so can I"). And if you are under 16, then you get to see what someone your age can do. Tommy chose the right beats to start with, too--cool grooves that if you can master (which you can) you will want to keep practicing. This DVD has it all--fills, grooves...even some play-alongs. And yes, just to inspire you, Tommy plays one piece at the end, but somehow it doesn't have a "show-off" feel. It's more like Tommy saying, "See how cool the drums can sound? If you practice and stay dedicated, you can do this too." Or at least that's the way I felt when I watched it. The camera work is good, the sound quality is good, and Tommy is awesome. Honestly, I can't recommend it strongly enough.
