A Jazz Approach to Groove with Keith Carlock

Welcome back, Keith Carlock! In his second course for Drumtrainer Online, Keith opens up about his approach to groove-playing with a strong quarter note pulse and how that can transcend into a less repetitive and more jazzish style. He then shares his unique approach on „comping“ within grooves and using the hihat more as a rhythmic instrument, like kick or snare, rather than just as a timekeeper. In the third lesson, he breaks down his method on using the snare as a percussion instrument with his hands. A really cool approach that you don’t see too many drummers doing. And to round it all off, Keith performs a stunning 11 minute solo, a bad*ss song and sits down for a long interview about his life in drumming with Dirk. This is a deeply rich and inspiring course with a ton of material by, hands-down, one of the greatest players on the planet! Recorded in Dresden next to the Dresdner Drum & Bass Festival 2024. Enjoy.
