Lifetime Warmup Advanced sped up to 185 BPM

Tommy Igoe Lifetime Warmup Advanced version, sped up just a bit. (~3% to 185)

Much thanks Tommy and the creator of the video I modified. I got tired of speeding up the vids manually when I practice, and threw together versions for 190 BPM and up using Reaper.

I always wondered if my drum teacher, Lou Giordano, knew Tommy's dad, Sonny Igoe. Lou was a pretty popular teacher on Long Island and knew all the other teachers and pros of the time. He gave me a very similar practice routine to Tommy's, although it wasn't as long and well organized as the version Tommy published. I really like Tommy's version and try to use it a lot.

The turnarounds, where you go from right to left lead are so key to developing your weaker side. Don't miss the opportunity to start the whole thing with your weak hand, just to make things interesting every now and then.

If you're really a fanatic, seek out the Alan Dawson Ritual as documented by John Ramsay. That's an amazing musical routine that requires a lot of concentration.

Enjoy and PLEASE support Tommy. His books and videos are amazing. Especially Groove Essentials Volume 1 and 1. The 21 minute Jazz Ramp, is a wonderful practice tool that I use all the time. Buy it, play it, love it.
