Is THAT the kid with the Mohawk! Great lesson JP. Rare content on the subject.

[@Sharing13]

Groove is just the flow of the song and hearing the song as a whole???

[@miguelsaavedrums]

I personally think that groove also comes with flow. You need to have enough muscle memory and repetition in your pockets to be able to groove freely.

[@quizzydrums1647]

You're such a great teacher always on point.

What a great, lesson, thank you man

[@artemcultura6191]

Thanks JP. Always appreciate your insight

[@gballmaier]

Is funny, because listening to insane base drum sounds fast and deep actually got me into drumming. So your point is so valid. With that being said, and on a side note, I'm always amazed at the depth and fullness you guys get out of these smaller set ups. Thank you for teaching thing's that really make a difference

[@tReShertReSh]

Thanks JP) Groove is my favorite topic and I will be glad to see more indepth details

[@davidolson558]

I was just listening to Simple Minds, alive and kicking, and although not a complex song, the drummer did a great job of playing consistent and once he got to the chorus, it was awesome!

[@bishopoftroy]

Perfectly summed up. This is why i like your lessons, so focused and conceptual.

[@ChontosDrumLessons]

Love this JP! Right on. Great thoughts!

[@altaybayr]

Once again, well thought out and explained! Love your approach to these rahter complex concepts
