Lesson: Click Training in Triplets by Jost Nickel

[@CloudKnife]

I've been using the 16th version of this while working through your groove book. It's helped so much. Even one of my bassists has commented on how my time has improved. Just started chapter 3 of the groove but and love it. Thanks for the great lessons :)

Great lesson, very good

[@Drumistry]

this is very very helpful for drummers who want to develop a strong sense of time. Thank you!

[@andiwijoyo7893]

there are a lot of drummers can play more complex than you,makin thousands chops improvisation,but i still love the way you play and you are still the best for me

It's not about playing 1000 notes in 10 seconds, it's about musicality, time and feel. Yes, Thomas Lang is super-fast and his technique is flawless, but I prefer guys like Nate Smith, Steve Jordan, Jost Nickel, Carter McLean... And inventive drummers, like Jojo Mayer. Of course, they all have good technique, but that's just a tool that help you to play easier. When I see how relaxed he is when playing, it makes me wanna quit... or to practice harder🙂

Great video and exercises! I can play these different polyrhythms quite easily over a quarter note clicktrack by now but I struggle immensely at thinking of a click track as one of them or as regular off beats (for example every second triplet). I worked a bit on different clicktrack positions with binary 16th note subdivions and I need a while to get into the second and fourth 16th note pulse. Are there any shortcuts/tricks to directly locking into the intended feel?

I could watch this guy play all day...unfortunately I have a mortgage to pay.

Hi Jost, thanks a lot for this lesson! I have my metronome programmed to first play quarter notes for a few minutes, then directly switch to playing the 3rd triplet for a few minutes, then the 2nd triplet, all while keeping the tempo. So basically I am playing the groove the whole time without stopping (only when the tempo changes for the quarter note triplets). So the only thing that changes is the time at which the click sound appears (i.e. 3rd triplet). But would you say this exercise only makes sense when you have to first hear the click as is, and only then start playing over it so that it sounds like the click appears on i.e. the 3rd triplet? Meaning it is actually the player that shifts the click and not the metronome. If so, would you recommend to have the metronome always set to a quarter note click and once you got it to sound like i.e. the 3rd triplet, play that for a minute or two, then stop playing (and maybe even the click) and start all over again for a few times until you do the same for the 2nd triplet etc.? Also, when you practiced in your car, did you actually „drum“, or did you sing the groove? :-) Would you consider singing the groove instead of drumming it to be good as well? Thanks a lot in advance!

,So now i will try while in traffik! Thanks

[@btb1979]

Wow crazy!!!!

[@lucaleita]

Hi Jost! Hope everything is well! This video is very cool... Is there a book or online course where you go deeper into this metronome training? Greetings from Italy, you're great!!!

[@markomarkovic5729]

Jost Nickel's Groove Book, it should be available online

[@lucaleita]

@@markomarkovic5729 Thank you!

[@HughMorristheJoker]

Metric modulations?

[@akucintamartha]

thanks sir for wish you luck :D

[@peterorinsky3333]

When I hear an even click I normaly hear it as a kind of downbeat. I guess that happens to most people. To hear it as the desired note in a chosen subdivision (for example: the 2nd note of a triplet) requires some kind of switch in the head. The feeling where the pulse is (on the click) has to be interrupted and the pulse has to be felt in a different place. What is your method of getting there so instantly? Not to forget: I like the lesson a lot! Thank you!
