Insane! Tommy is a monster drummer!

Insane hand technique!

I took drum lessons from a drummer who learned from Gary Chester. My teacher was HUGE on Tommy Igoe and his system. It was an integral part of his weekly lessons. Too bad COVID closed his studio.

Excellent drummer. Excellent teacher. Would be great to study with him! Thank you.

amazing stuff! can I ask what pad is that? wonder if its still available on the market

やはりあなたは最高のビッグバンドドラマーです！！ もっと演奏動画みたいです！！！

Tremendous hand technique. Just remarkable smoothness.

Thanks . Incredible course . I’ll do my best to finish. Bit of an advantage as done GH FALT for a few years but will review the sections. Notation analysis is amazing though mine is still not good . Tracks piano is beautiful.

Masters!

Incredible

Great challenge. Took me a long 10 minutes but only a rest mistake I fixed half way through writing it . Getting better thanks .

Groove 49 . Rock Ballad . Not technically tricky but the chart . Phone record . Humility is a great thing . Thkx .

Thanks for this amazing challenge. As I’m rehearsing & playing regularly & also been travelling I won’t be able to do every days work every day - lifetime aside . But will finish . Thanks 🙏

“ The Grid “ love it . I’m guessing this accent & taps approach is used in. Drumcorp ( & everything ) - seem it applied to triplets and rudiments . Getting it happening now . 🙏 🙏

I stuffed up the singles grid but it’s so great to play along even digitally . I’ll review the grid now . Thanks

Just wow

Great course . Something is happening to my mind by writing the notation which is very interesting. Thanks .

It amazes me that such excellent quality educational material is sitting here . Anyway back to work .

Thanks so much, Tommy. You help SOOO MANY OF US!!!

Great challenge enjoying this greatly, especially using Tommy’s incredible & at the time of release revolutionary educational materials . Unfortunately I have interstate duties to support my dear elderly mother . But like many we’re very grateful this is this up . Can’t wait to get back . I will get there though though it’s not a competition- it’s a challenge ❤

Thks . Great tempo . Great challenge . By doing the Lifetime more regularly a day it’s helped than doing a long session only once . Just saying everyone is different I guess . Thanks .

Thanks . Interesting how the swing inference can change . Great challenge. Great actually imo the best educational products ever on foundation. And I’m done a few . Thanks Tommy .

Thanks . Groove 17 is so great . The swing , high hat & foot action . Interesting I am finding doing more lifetimes rather than a monster morning one very helpful. Getting more used to just jumping into the higher tempos too . Thanks Tommy .

Thanks . Though I feel half dead coz of rehearsals etc . Played the shuffle ( s ) great chart . Very cool . Had to practice too without the ostinato to just get it tight & snappy . Bit of a whip but not stupid . Thks .

Thanks . Great challenge, great educational materials . Doing a few lifetimes a day has been helpful as I think I was doing so much in the morning I was getting a bit stiff . Not pain . Strangely I’ll be playing old schooling Blakey & other shuffles tonight so this is timely. Still working on the more difficult jazz comping motifs as the fast ones with bass drum doubles I have subsume at the very fast tempos eg jazz ramp top end . Day 45 wooh. . Thanks Tommy . I’m

Great . The Jazz grooves are so interesting to play & the comping motifs especially the one with the bass drum have really helped . I don’t think my problem is co - ordination as much as reading & knowing the motifs backwards , hence changing from 1 to another I can still make a mistake. Thanks again . My facility with the Lifetime is improving to . I will do one & if eg the parradiddle section I might not get all the various accents or no accents spot on . Going back to Chk patterns, really helps .

Thanks . I can’t tell you how much I’m enjoying this challenge in particular the jazz section . So get the click up . Cheers .

Great challenge. Amazing educational Thanks 20 fast. . I have found the motifs are getting easier to do -,the more comfortable I am with them . I’m still review the others to get the feel & technique or eg a double bass hit ( sorry for pun ) . I find singing & repeating phases useful ie simple buzx to kick with answering phase in kick or moving the snare off beat & or triple or triple partial . Same foot . Slow to fast . My birthday yesterday & still recovering but every day every single day .

Thanks . Though I can do the comping motifs without pulling it apart with the notation- doing the notation has been valuable to subsume all the patterns . Having a great time with them & of course making up my own .

Love the Philly Joe “ channel “ 😎 yea thanks .

Thanks done first Lifetime. Love this jazz section of the challenge .

Great challenge. The jazz grooves fast are great the play .

Thanks great challenge. Great education products . Notation helpful .

Thanks . For some utterly bizarre reason I am loving this section & getting there okay . Maybe because I worked on the Lifetime program & love jazz . Thanks Tommy .

The Jazz motifs have been a game changer for me . I could comp a bit but moving the bass drum to the off beat , the triplet partials , & phrases like the cools buzzes , has moved everything forward in days 22 fast the last is my fav , 1/8 triplet partials to 1/4 note triplets etc . Nice Okay I will notate just because my notation is so bad . Lifetime 2 done . One prior to gig tonight.

Great course . Great educational products . Day 41 . The comping section in Groove Essentials is so great , moving the snare & bass drum with the motifs has been addictive. 🙏

Great tempo . I have to get into the habit of more grab & goes & not just a morning big one .

Great challenge. Getting through the comp motifs fine , not so much cordination & getting them up to speed & comfortably eh feeling them .Found singing & super cycling has been helpful. Did the notation but not the ones I nailed quickly but honestly Helful & a good exercise for my appalling notation , reading 0:34 them works well too . I do a tendency to move my hats arounds , kinda like it but for this 2 & 4 . & love the ways eg G 18 fast iv can be played straight or swung & the press roll digs are so cool . Just did & hrs This challenge has been sooo great . ❤

Highly recommend Tommy’s educational materials to everyone regardless of age . Thanks . Love the triplet subdivision, reductively written , very handy 4 🦶 . Not moving forward to fast which is wonderful. The G 20 f, 5 is fabulous but they all are . Thanks Tommy .

Highly recommend all of Tommy’s educational products . Never go out of style . Jazz motifs okay . The triplet dance with the faster ostinato. Very cool . Flams done . I’m notating probably all the jazz groove motifs for fun ( I didn’t just a few I needed too , should have ) . I also spent hours , listening to Maestros Taylor , Palmer , Jones ( both ) & the list of great drummers.

Thanks great course . Flams fantastic, the last section of the flam combo I found a bit tricky @ first to count . No major problems with the motifs . Super cycling & or leaving 4 bars or ? Between them I found helps . Also feathering always gives the downbeat . So the bd drums I found tad tricker to get up . Notating will be good for subsuming the c pg motifs soo 🙏

Did one earlier bit faster , but loved doing it ( great tempo 😎) with you here & syncing . This challenge is super awesome.

Highly recommend this course & all of Tommy’s educational materials. Seriously. Lifetime today @ 179 post a late gig last night was fantastic. Mistakes in notation. Yes . Groove 19 close .

Thanks . Done this notation etc .& played but I apologise if I commented on original post .

3 half drags + a ruff . We move on . Done analysis. Bit tricky doing this after the original challenge( exact days ) But I’m doing it .

Thanks . Getting into the brain power of notation . Top tempo . I did it 186 but a bit sloppy. I need to warm up for the warm up . Interesting. Otherwise slower . Jazz grooves 18 220 . I do the Jazz rant but the bottom slow 2 8th notes kick will need wrk . Got a gig tonight but doing it . Thanks .

how insanely clean and easy

Great! Thanks

A ratamucue is a 1/2 drag ( or 2 or 3 depending ) followed by a ruff . Triplet based . Cool too. The piano block chords give it an entirely different feel. The The earlier jazz grooves were more different, this one has more space but those recurring chords called dah . ?? Like Mcoy T . Again as I started with GHALT a few years ago & got it to “ advanced “ , it’s so cool to recheck & get better. Sorry I’m not a younger person & could contribute more to promoting the educational value today !!! Of Tommy’s exceptional educational products .

Brain gave it the ole Tom Brady "Let's Go!!!" Hands gave the ole Samuel Jackson "Oh, hell no!!!" 😳
