REQ: Al Joseph Groove Writing Workshop

Groove Writing is an essential ingredient for composing. Without rhythm all would have is a world full of aimless notes flying about without context or direction. As creative harmony holds the element of color, groove writing is both the canvas itself and the brush stroke.

In this package I'm going to plot out for you the basic rules I follow. First we'll cover the essential kick, snare, and hi-hat functions, showing you how to think about your grooves when getting creative with your music. These are concept you need to know to grab the contemporary listeners ears immediately. Next we go into how you can use odd time signatures and polyrhythms to stick out in the crowd and retain the attention of your listener as well. We'll wrap up with dynamics for even more creativity.

This pack comes with over 30 MP3 files so that you may experiment with all the concepts you've learned so that you can get writing your own ideas for years and years to come!

If you love to write contemporary rock music, if you're tired of running into writer's block, then learning how to write professional drums is also an essential tool for getting more creative. I believe a keen understanding to rhythm and groove is absolutely essential to rising to the level of an ultimate composer!
