DVD, Igoe discusses and demonstrates each groove in multiple tempos, alone
and with a band, with many patterns shown on both acoustic and on Roland HD-1
and TD-9 electronic drumkits. The grooves span rock, funk, RandB/hip-hop, jazz

by playing any of the grooves with a band and recording themselves
on audio or video (optional) to help facilitate the learning process.
These tracks also supply a variety of fill-in
and soloing opportunities to challenge advanced players. In addition,
the book features Igoe's extended "global tours" that will test even
the most seasoned professional's chops, creativity and stamina and, as
a "first of its kind" bonus, there is a full-length orchestral play-along
