Review: Excellent insight - This book (1.0 & 2.0)is so different to any other ‘drum’ book. You get a real understanding about playing not just drums but music. Equally, you get the freedom to add your own versions. AND by the way, you don’t ever actually complete them. You can go back any time. Also great reference manual for world styles if you need a quick answer. Review: AWESOME!!! - One of the BEST books out there! It's RAMMED with LOTS to do. Very well written content (often light-hearted and humourous too which makes for easy reading) and excellent transcribed grooves and scores. If you've not got it you're missing out. I wouldn't recommend it for beginners but if you've been playing a while and got your playing fairly together or you can read and want to expand your ideas and knowledge OR you've a teacher who can guide you through - GET IT! Get the DVD that goes with it - Tommy is just... awesome! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 32,360 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 12 in Music Encyclopaedias 12 in Percussion Instruments 273 in Music Instruction & Study | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (462) | | Dimensions | 22.86 x 0.86 x 30.48 cm | | ISBN-10 | 1423406788 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1423406785 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 140 pages | | Publication date | 31 Jan. 2006 | | Publisher | Hudson Music | ## Images ![Groove Essentials 1.0 - The Play Along Book with Online Audio | Sheet Music and Practice Tracks | Drum Songbook for Beginners to Advanced Players | ...

The play alongs are a great standard and having 3 versions for each groove means they don't quickly get boring. Plus once you have mastered the grooves you can always start mixing them up. I personally love putting world grooves like the Mozambique into funk settings. The charts also start simple enough and add different symbols one at a time rather than all at the start which I find students really respond well to. ## Frequently Bought Together - Groove Essentials 1.0 - The Play-Along Book/Online Audio - Progressive Steps to Syncopation for the Modern Drummer (Ted Reed Publications) - Vic Firth Presents Groove Essentials 2.0 with Tommy Igoe: The Groove Encyclopedia for the Advanced 21st-Century Drummer --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/49350368-groove-essentials-1-0-the-play-along-book-with-online](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/49350368-groove-essentials-1-0-the-play-along-book-with-online) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
