The DNA of groove

The DNA of groove

The brand new issue of Rhythm is on sale now and available in print and digitally, or from www.myfavouritemagazines.com, Apple Newsstand and Google Play Store.

What is groove? Can it be learned? How do you create groove in your playing? This month in our huge cover feature we talk to Zigaboo Modeliste, Steve White, David Garibaldi and Glen Sobel to learn about the space between the notes, dynamics, improvisation, and why the roots of modern drumming run straight back to Africa.

We take a look at the top groove masters, from Bonzo to Chad, Gadd to Purdie and many more.

PLUS: A huge, free poster of Yamaha's latest endorsee, Steve White.
