Dave Weckl: Soloing Around Kicks (from DRUM!)
“The first and foremost thing to consider though is to try to make any groove musical and make it feel consistently good, whether using inverted beats or not. Most importantly, is the fact that this is nothing really new, and certainly wasn’t my idea to begin with… As far as developing this concept, I actually don’t want to advocate even doing it, to be honest! I think I’d rather try to get kids and students playing really good feeling, grooving, swinging straight beats first.”
