Jost Nickel - "Toses"

[@Kuba-hs4ns]

You know when somebody can freestyle rap and they are awesome in it? It means they are having a complete confidence in there language. The same with Jost and his drums. He plays the drums like they are a part of him. Amazing.....so fluent with feel!

[@harrywester]

After many years of listening to different drummers i am totally convinced of Josts unique and outstanding groove, time feel and extremely elegant motions. His clinics are both entertaining and educative. Apart from his musicality he is a very smart person always modest and became a friend of mine. I am very grateful for this .....

[@GorcStew]

I still don't know how the hell he manages to come back in to the song out of the solo like that every time, perfectly in time...he's some kind of wizard.

[@foliver8327]

Excellent, the best drummer in the world, congratulations!

[@TolgaPala]

He doesn't live in the pocket, he himself is the pocket. My goodness. It has been a while since I have listened to this level of precision along with this amount of graceful execution and delightful phrasing. Not to mention the impeccable sound. He is for sure a treasure and I regret that I haven't found him earlier.

[@JostNickel]

Thank you ❤️🎶

[@zanfranceschi]

This guy is one of my favourite drummers of all times. He really rocks.

[@JostNickel]

Thanks!

That subtle right hand!!!

[@uweheidekind6611]

Wow, absolut klasse. Ich finde den New Orleans Groove ab 1'16 besonders gut.

[@vodzdrums]

whoa Jost! my fav part is definitely the one where you kinda stop, play a very sparse groove and slowly keep bringing the backbeats closer until you crash, shred a solo with the band, and ends bringing the main section of the song back. (reference: 4:29) what an AWESOME way to end a solo, it feels so good!

[@SlightlyInsane1]

Im pretty convinced Jost in the best thats ever lived. Between his expressiveness, technique, and originality.. shit man. Listening to Jost is like taking shrooms: amongst the awe is an overwhelming sense of beauty and coalescence, and a memory guaranteed to be permanent. Thanks, Jost. Hope youre drumming till youre 101.

[@birgitpietrowski1282]

Wow, ich mag diese Art von Musik und das grooven dazu, ich mag diese durchlaufende Hihat und den Teil in der Mitte ohne die Musik, mit der Snare, die so einfach und doch so durchsetzengsfähig groovt.

[@LIXOSonidoyDiscos]

Is amazing to listen the Jost´s beat. I love it!! His drum solo is brutal!!! And his groove still in every compass. After the solo, his beat is great. I love this song. 100% Made in Germany: Drummer, Drum set, Cymbals, stands and microphones. My passion for this products exceeds the limits!!!!!!! Alberto Arias

[@JasonBroussardDrums]

Great playing all the way through, but I especially LOVE the snare and hi hat interplay from 3:38-3:49. Digging your groove, Jost!

[@DimitriFantini]

Always a pleasure watching you play Jost!

[@drummer1neal]

Love the introduction. Sets up the tune and stops you in your tracks and says hey man this tune is gonna groove! Hope I can win the book and shed it to grab some of these tasty licks! Snare sounds great and the production, especially the drums sounds are boss!

[@DanielSuling]

Geniale Dynamik und tolle Ideen sowie erstklassiges Timing.😎😎👍✌️ IRESPECT !!!

[@jasminguttenbacher5244]

Einfach nur klasse Jost👍

[@cowspork5351]

1:15 is so ridiculously groovy and clean, jeez. Just picked up the groove book and I'm loving it

[@warrenscott1694]

Wow! SO inspiring! My favourite part is at 0:43-0:44. Its quick but the triplet grace notes combined with kick and that accented bell...... made me drool a little bit. Thanks for sharing Jost :)

[@mrpotatoprawn]

The piano solo grooves so damn hard with the halftime shuffle sticking on the snare rim. Astonishingly tasteful as usual!

[@angelcrespo]

The drum solo is amazing. But the groove in all the song is wonderful. thank you

[@JostNickel]

Yes! There's a play-along available and a transcription of this performance. Amazing, right? 😊❤️ jostnickel.bigcartel.com/product/play-along-bundle

[@christopherslappey1681]

I Like Those Nike Shoes.

[@romanonardelli-drummerforfun]

I love this drummer

[@klast3428]

I love the conversation you have between your kick and snare. You truly are creating melodies and I hope I can get to that level some day!

[@antoniskolias]

I love how you build tension and then how you release it. Very tight and musical.

[@mojtabaabbasi240]

just wow i can watch this all day

[@christianditano2832]

Wow jost you're great! I love the drum solo! Your drumming it's a source of inspiration!!

[@3k9x]

You're so fu**ing good!!

[@yogi357]

My favorite part is at 4:13 where you do your signature open space, almost a triplet-like fill in the solo...I look for it in every video I've seen you in! So clean and control...yessur!

[@dennismdoerfer]

Great feel, Great grooving!!! Thanks man!

[@blnbs5727]

Incredible. My favorite part was at 4:30!! Superb rhythm

[@MrTsaoJuan]

4:14 was probably my favourite but the entire song just grooved

[@ph_drums]

The set up before the solo is my favorite, establishing that feel so effortlessly and staying right in that pocket.. amazing control!

[@floro9295]

Fantastic playing as usual. Jost is just a phenomenal drummer 😉👍🏻

[@trismurray]

Wonderful.

[@rocktonmusikschule]

Groovy and maximum tastefull in every way. 😍👍👍👍👍

[@sahandrums]

Hi! my favorite part is from 2:40 to the end. I've watched it many times and I usually start it from there ... and from there, my favorite part is at 3:38 where the double stroke rolls on hh and snare starts, goes away and comes back, then ends with a slap on the stack(or splash Idk!) The Shuffle is so cool. The ghost notes made it even Trickier! Feels like having butterflies in my stomach.

[@Schnatzification]

3:35-3:45 makes me drool. Ordentlicher Braten Herr Nickel!

[@bennoschlachter368]

first Minute does it for me - perfect groove playing Jost, as always

[@andrewprokofiev7821]

Jost, you are one of the best ones! I love your sound and feeling. Saw you in Moscow in 2013 (you came with Benny) - that was amasing! Thank you for your wonderful playing! Keep on!

[@kaptinkoolade]

That ride sounds clean af!

[@TheZooNinjaS]

One of the smoothest and most humble but confident cats on the kit. Simple love your playing jost. Currently am working through the groove book and it's just the most fun to learn the stuff.

[@bohdaaanek]

that shuffle.. insane... best part :D

[@sanityinaseaofmadness7353]

This is a masterclass in groove... I've been watching your playing ever since I came across one of your KZbin videos (maybe 5 years ago?), and you've been getting steadily better. I never would have complained back then, but today your playing is smoother and tastier. It's also pretty obvious that your technique is a substantial part of this; drummers who struggle with playing efficiently and relaxed can learn quite a bit just by watching videos like this (yes, I'm one of them). Thanks to you and OnlineLessons for this performance!

[@ZabWolff]

You're an incredible drummer, Jost. Thank you for sharing and let us listen your extraordinary groove. Greetings!

[@marvinwilliam4827]

UhuuuuL yes man! Bom demais da conta!

[@KeGy67]

Mir gefallen die Rolls ab ca 1:40 und anschließend das Pattern auf der Snare mit der rechten Hand auf dem rim am besten 😃

[@drumfunemil8806]

Nice groove! You make it very good! 👌

[@Salereem]

My favourite part 5:00 until 6:08. Basically the outro.

[@umdiscodevinil]

My favorite part - from 0:00 to 6:08. Period.

[@renardvert]

Love your playing Jost!! Keep it up.

[@stevenabi5095]

smooth and articulate. the voicings you choose work and flow. fresh as always man.

[@hiptoalieu]

Probably the first minute with that ride bro! I love all the tasty intricacy's of your playing!! And those rim subdivisions at the piano solo intro!!!!

[@komposteradgalning]

Absolutely amazing playing! You are truly one of the most creative and precise drummers out there. The solo part between 3.15-3.25 is so sick!! That “chopped up/broken” feel that you created made my jaw hit the floor, lol. Definitely gonna start working on that one!

[@jacoboy99]

That was a groovy solo.

[@JordanEdgar]

Sweet groove man! Awesome playing

[@lucaleita]

Hi Jost!:)It's difficult to choose just one part... your playing is always so enjoyable and inspiring!Anyway I would say your solo, it just feels so good to me! You're great!!!Greetings from Italy

[@leandromarquesdasilva8380]

Boa noite! Sou brasileiro e gosto muito do seu trabalho, a parte que eu mais gostei foi o solo, comprei o seu primeiro livro e gostaria muito de aprender um pouco mais com esse outro livro de preenchimento!

[@Hoptimistendk]

My favorite part was The metric modulation build up, at The end of The solo. Great control

[@dusselkopp9333]

1:44 ich mag sehr, wie Du das Klaviersolo begleitest, unheimlich groovey ohne dich in den Vordergrund zu drängen

[@bjludemann]

Nice job. My favorite part: Jost you're known for fat relaxed feeling grooves. Therefore, I like the "root" groove, starting at :16.

[@YiannisIliakis]

!!!!awsome drumming!!! best part: 3:21! sooo unexpected...

[@JostNickel]

[@scientit]

and because I'd love to get your fill book ;) ... I especially like the time signature mixes and the faster triplet fills in the solo!

[@MrsGuitarbabs]

Es ist nicht nur, dass du ein klasse Schlagzeuger bist, nein, du bist auch noch ein megasympathischer und super freundlicher Mensch! Ich suche gerade Signature Sticks von VicFirth, kann man die noch nicht kaufen?
