@rrobb911 Nail on head.

@TheTorontoMusician I would substitute drummer with musician. The man is such a musical player which is a total breath of fresh air amongst the army of heavy hitters and rudiment bombing drummers around haha

He is one of the few drummers that can make his solo groove, as you can tell by the bobbing of heads. He doesn't just hit a million notes, he treats his solos like a song, something modern drummers don't do.

Awesome Tommy! Glad you decided to go to Yamaha.

Tommy's dad Sonny Igoe was also a fine drummer who recorded an amazing solo 'New Golden Wedding' with Woody Herman's orchestra back in the 1950s.
Tommy manages to combine his jazz roots with modern sensibilities and a
technique honed by a life time growing up with drums. He swings, he can play and he can inspire. An eloquent ambassador for the art of drumming me thinks.

bad ass!
love his playing because he is a most musical drummer; a thinking drummer. go Igoe!

@TheTorontoMusician Sorry my bad. You are correct :) Cheer :)
I honestly think Tommy Igoe could be one of the best drummers in the world.

@drumsforpete...Please,this solo is great. Period.Not your cup of tea? Fine,but don't make it sound like this is bad drumming cuz you just look a common clueless youtube hater.
If you like Bill Stewart, fine, he's a great player.Tommy's band is a modern, aggressive big band; why compare apples and oranges? They play completely different! Maybe if you heard the entire composition the solo would make more sense to you. It seems like you're just trying to validate your own tastes by bashing others.
