Product Description
This new DVD from Tommy Igoe focuses on developing and maintaining the physical tools that are essential for every drummer and drumming application: their hands. At the heart of this life-changing, career-extending system is the three-tier Lifetime Warmup" originally conceived in the 1950s by Tommy's father, Sonny Igoe. Featuring basic, intermediate and advanced levels, the Lifetime Warmup is a challenging routine that weaves its way though standard drum rudiments and original exercises while simultaneously keeping you in command of your basic drumming motions. This nearly four-hour DVD includes Tommy demonstrating the basics of his system: Matched and Traditional Grip, Fulcrum Concepts, Rebound Strokes, Singles and Doubles, Check Patterns, The Five Families of Rudiments, and group demonstrations with five of his students, including all three versions of the Lifetime Warmup. Included are a free, color-coordinated, wall sized Lifetime Warmup poster and a compact fold-out guide courtesy of Evans Drumheads as well as a printable, 60-page eBook with instruction and exercises. Created by one of today's most successful and progressive drum educators, Great Hands for a Lifetime brings the no-nonsense, inspiring approach of the Groove Essentials series to hand technique and provides a proven alternative to discover the full potential of your hands and stay healthy drumming over the decades to come.

3 out of 5 stars Not bad... but   August 11, 2010

Just purchased and am somewhat impressed.

yes , it is fun to play with a group.
yes, it will build your chops.

but, YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING THIS ALL ALONG!
They're called RUDIMENTS!
And you should have been practicing your rudiments with an emphasis on your weak side.


I will use this with my students, because it will be fun and it the rudiments are played in a very logical order.

Great for groups, great for students.

Tommy does give a very good explanation of the fulcrum and stroke which may clear up some things for you and your students

I recommend all drummers to add this DVD to their collection. The exercises that are demonstrated are very useful for serious drummers. This DVD will make you want to grab your practice pad and get to work.
