This DVD takes you all the way from pulling drums out of the box to putting them together to holding the sticks to playing simple beats and grooves. The instruction is clear and includes some of Tommy Igoe's students, ending with some playing of his own. Perfect for the beginner with little or no drumming experience. Highly recommended.
BTW, a few extra tips for beginners:
1. Resist the urge to buy tons of drums and cymbals. You'll quickly feel overwhelmed. Start simple and add pieces as you get better.
2. Learn everything with both matched and traditional grips on the sticks.
3. Find a drumming instructor who is interested (my first one seemed bored), encouraging, and challenging (makes you count out loud when you don't feel like it, makes you play music you don't like, pushes you when you need it).
4. If you have trouble playing something, SLOW DOWN. There's an almost irresistible urge to play too fast when you start. Resist it.
5. Face the fact that learning drumming requires a lot of repetition, especially when you start practicing the 40 rudiments. Use this repetitive work as a contemplative practice, a kind of drumming meditation. That's what the shamans did in traditional cultures.
6. A long practice session that feels crappy or difficult does more for you than a short one that goes smoothly. Let your brain and body learn in their own time.
7. Have fun! As the film says, drumming is not a race, nor is it a competition or something you "should" do. Let it be a source of satisfaction. Use it creatively.

The dvd was easy to follow. It keeps your interest, and you learn so much! It is as good as having a teacher right beside you. I recommend this dvd for anyone who has even a remote interest in playing the drums. Tommy Igoe is an Awesome teacher!

Instructions are clear and systematic. Presentation is done professionally with good quality in sound and picture. Tommy Igoe is very engaging and enthusiastic in teaching and talking about drums and that quality drew me into his world. He also provides good practice methodology which is important in building a solid foundation and developing good habits in the early stages of learning. Definitely a good buy for beginners like me. Value for money!
"BEST drum lesson DVD out there"

I purchased this DVD to learn how to play the drums. I am a complete beginner. I haven't received my drum set yet, but I decided I wanted to watch part of this anyways, so I watched the "how to set up" portion of the dvd. Not only did I learn really important things that are going to help me set up my drum, but Tommy Igoe made watching the video entertaining, with witty jokes every now and then. I can't wait to watch the rest of this dvd when my drum set arrives. 5 stars, this is the best out there

The video was everything I expected and more. The price was right and it was delivered in about 4 days. You simply can't beat that kind of customer service.
I'm just getting started with seriously looking at the drums, after learning from friends while I was in a band (I'm a guitar player). I got this DVD and I am extremely surprised and happy. Tommy Igoe shows you absolutely everything -- from setting up your kit and identifying the drums, tuning, playing, etc. He throws in lots of helpful tips, and he's cool and patient throughout the entire process. Amazing!
Most of the beginning is setting up your kit, so there may be sections you already know, but you can skip those, and this will still be an amazingly helpful and instructive video. Unless you're already pretty well familiar with your drums and your basic grooves, you can definitely benefit from this, I think. I certainly have! It has saved me a lot of time of trying to learn these things in some other way.
