Re: Laying it in the pocket

When I'm practicing grooves or fills, I make sure the click is programmed with 16th notes and offbeat 8th notes or a funky percussion track (congas, cowbell, shakers etc). I also program bass lines in and groove to those.
I listen to bands like the Spin Doctors, Tower of Power, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, The Meters, The Roots, Liquid Soul, Incognito and Roy Hargrove. My take is that if it grooves nicely and feels good on the CD, it's definitely worth copping.
