Sometimes you hear a piece of music – and feel instantly intrigued. Intuitivly you know, that you just stumbled over something magic. When I heard Steve Winwood’s “Higher Love” featuring John “JR” Robinson on drums for the first time as a fifteen year old, it was exactly like that for me. The percussive, dense and atmospherical feel, created in a mix of lively tracked drums and programmed percussion simply blew me away – and confused me. What’s the ingredients? What’s the patterns? And: Where the funk is the “one”?<\/p>\n

Today, many moons later, I take the opportunity to write yet another groove workshop for bonedo drums<\/a> exclusively, this time shedding some light on the mystery of this grammy award winning groove masterpiece, created\u00a0 by one of the greatest players in the history of the modern drum kit.<\/p>\n
