Jost Nickel's Groove Book

Drummers are expected to provide the groove and set the feel for the band.This is not just a matter of what is played, but also how it is played. These two aspects are the focus of Jost Nickel's Groove Book.
In this book Jost shows how to design grooves using various orchestrations including splits and switches, ghost notes, snare and bass drum displacements, linear groove concepts and much more.
"Players and listeners", says Jost, "gravítate towards the groove. Without a great groove there is no feel, no movement, no music. So my book exists so players can learn and perfect their ability to groove, as well as create their own vocabulary of grooves:"
The mp3-CD included and reading text inserted really help to clarify the patterns introduced and then facilítate the creation of the drummer's own patterns.
This book is al¡ about grooves that sound great and are fun to play. Studying it will also enable a drummer to play with a deeperfeel, better time and more creativity. It aims atthe enthusiasm drummers have for great sounding grooves.
Jost, who studied at Drummers Collective in New York, is a tutor at the highly acclaimed University of Pop in Mannheim. He made his international debut as a clinician and educator with performances at PASIC in America and the Montreal Drum Fest in Canada, as well as with feature articles and workshops in Modern Drummer (USA), Drummer (UK), Rhythm & Drums (tapan), Batterie (France) and other publications.
