About Jost:
Similar to his friends Benny Greb, Marco Minnemann, and the newly emerging Anika Nilles (one of Jost's students), Jost Nickel is one of the new breed of drummers emerging from Germany that are taking contemporary drumming in a whole new direction. Jost is currently a part of German supergroup Jan Delay & Disko No.1 whose last CDs went straight to #1 in the charts. He has appeared as a clinician and educator in many drum festivals including the Meinl Drum Festival, PASIC, and the Montreal Drum Festival, and has also recently published his first book, "Jost Nickel's Groove Book", which offers a deep insight into his thoughtfully crafted playing and deep pocket.

@Juelz Tadeo yup, I have been using kaldroStream for months myself =)
Can we all just appreciate he's smoothness for one min..... And he's sick shoe game😂 Und für alle Deutschen: "Oh Johny!"
I love watching this guy play.

Seems like he can play all day long and don't get exhausted
There are a group of "new" drummers that are really good teachers too, like Jost Nickel and others. Very good 👍
I love Jost’s approach and laid back feel. He’s also playing one of the best sounding kits I’ve heard on Drumeo!
One of the best of this generation
That drum solo is also amazing! Such groove and such technique!
I love this lesson and the Jost groove lesson. It is funny how different Jared and Dave are when they host guests. Jared is like oh wow that sounds so cool. Dave is like uurrgggh adding up to 16 is hard 😂😂
solo at the end is MIND BLOWING !
Following this legend from last 3 4 months loving it. Thanks for this lesson.
Since I‘m German, I‘ve known Jost for years. How have I not seen this video before? Anyway, I’ve seen him live with Disko No. 1 a couple of times. I could never wrap my head around his fills, but this lesson made it so easy! Wow! What a great method (although Dave doesn’t seem too convinced 😅). Thanks for inviting Jost to Drumeo, Drumeo. 🎉
What a great concept. One could use any rhythm, sticking or grouping and the possibilities would be limitless. You hear fills like this all the time and think " I've got to learn the entire phrase to play like this". The danger with that approach is that you never end up improvising. Jost is such an incredible educator cause instead of teaching the fill, he shows you how to make up your own.

Verdade! Is true
I dig everything Jost plays - the guy is just a groove machine!
Sooooooo soothing. Was like a warm breeze
Brilliant and amazingly 'groovy' drummer. He also explains everything in a simple format so everyone can follow and implement quickly!!! Awesome job Jost....and Drumeo.....Keep up the great work!!!
I gotta know... how does Drumeo have a million subs but a lot of these lesson vids don't get near as many views as they should.. 87k? C'mon guys you gotta start watching these amazing lessons!

You are preaching to the already converted here. But the reason is that they simply upload very prolifically. You can't watch everything. That being said, this Jost Nickel lesson is in my top ten.
El lenguaje universal, la música, a pesar de no hablar perfecto inglés, estas clases son muy buenas y muy útiles

Jost always amazes me: his smoothness and technique are second to none, absoluty worldclass!!
More of Jost please. He is a great musician and educator. Very inspiring to watch and hear him play, and learn about his concepts.
I am German. But after seeing him do the math - I knew we Germans think differently about "fun approaches".

LizardDC : haha Finally A German with humour !
Ayyye you guys have inspired me to drum , it's been a long road and drumeo has help me soooooo much
I'm so happy that Dave is hosting more episodes, great drummer, sweet guy!
I can only recommend Jost's books! He goes way into depth with these concepts there and you have material for years :D
Jost amazing as always!
Thanks so much. So clear, and inspiring!
Very tasteful drumming!
Loved every minute of this ! the drum sounds were incredible !
that little bar of 6 bar of 8 groove he was doing at ~3:40 is so smooth it's nearly impossible to lose count. That's one of the most impressive things I've heard in a long time.
Great lesson , great drumming , the kit and cymbals sound amazing !
What an incredible lesson. Jost is so creative and a superb technician. Those two add up to genius in my view. And the solo at the end. I normally don't like drum solos and I am a drummer (trying). But I found myself smiling all the way through to solo. His kit and it's tuning. The cymbal chokes, the I do not know what you call the buzzes and clacks on the snare. These combined with rhythm and a "one" that grounded the solo that came through. And then grooves and fills in a solo context. Wow one just has to listen and watch. The solo is hard to describe but it is just brilliant. Cheers to Jost and Dave and Drumeo.
He always makes it look so effortless! Awesome guy!
Genius at work ! I'm loving it !
This guy is a holy drum player. Loved the lesson and I cant wait to sit at drums to try the sheet!!
That was a seriously great lesson. The pattern is very useful. Glad he shared it with us.
I love the number system hes using!! what a unique concept for even writing on a mud sheet
Now that was really useful, and the key to taking those linear patterns even further. Awesome stuff and drummer.
On top of being a great player as this guy is, these drums sound incredible! It's that perfect combination of tones! Super earthy 🌎 !!
Love the colours! Blues and bronze esque
Loved this lesson, not just a great drummer but also a brilliant teacher
Nice video. Love your channel.
Jost and Drumeo thanx for another great lesson, i like the LOGIC behind these concepts and it is a great way in getting to understand 'Groupings'.
This guy! Masterful lesson from a masterful player. Thank you.

Yeah and he makes the music stand out. You can hear each instrument so clear. He's dynamic. Gospel drumming is so popular. If you like hearing a drummer solo threw the entire set. Lol. This guys fantastic
This is my first time watching this video and I absolutely love his style technique sensitivity and feel 👍❤️🙏
His groove and fills are off the charts. Such an underrated drummer.
I love all of this lesson thanks so much for it! Inspire me and open a new world for me!
clear and clean. Genius !
DUDE! The end solo was awesome!
I love this concept! I came across a similar sticking awhile back while improvising on my kit but have not expanded upon the idea since. I am looking forward to experimenting moving "2's and 4's" around the kit as well as applying the same concept to other stickings. :-)
Man, Drumeo leading the game in 2019. Awesome.... More live bands (like JP´s), pleaseeee!
I love the handwriting at 14:42 thats my kinda Old School! great lesson, great stuff Jost thanks Drumeo!
Nice chops!
I didn't realize that my mind could be blown in so many different ways. Jost is the man!
Jost is such a bad ass! I've been in a stale place lately, looking for useful material to practice, and I think I just found it. As always, Jost inspires me.

Love this lesson! Now my fills will no longer sound stale haha! Will try this approach with odd groupings as well. Thanks Jost! ❤
This guy is a groove machine!
Excellent lesson. Excellent teacher.
That first floor tom sounds Godly. Suhh a great lesson - thanks for sharing :).
Amazing drummer.
Thank you Drumeo, I found this lesson to be incredibly insightful and all... but @44:56 MY GODNESS THATS ONE HELL OF A DRUM SOLO
Fantastic lesson. What a great teacher Jost is. :-)
Hey, I use this fill pretty much, never thought of playing it on the off beat...good lesson thanks :)
Great teacher, great playing, I learned a lot from this. I can see/hear why Benny Greb wanted to learn grooves by Jost
Omg this was really game changing for me!! Now i must practice...
this 2-4 combination works great in a swung eighth note situation (jazz). great lesson; love jost's feel & yummy drum sound.
Awesome Nickel!
Просто здорово! Спасибо!
That solo was mint!
Great lesson and great guy, had the privilege of having him at our studio for a drum clinic and he was so nice and such a laugh.
One thing about Jost I've noticed that I really dig is that he has incredible hihat volume control. Some of my favorite drummers sorta bash away at the hats most of the time. Simon Phillips comes to mind as another person who is careful here. A lesson we can all learn from or be reminded of. Now, I'm not saying it's wrong to chunk the hats but they are very powerful and can easily take away from the groove if they are loud and proud. Ok, that's enough of my opinions I'm going back to practicing.
Super cool, these patterns are in a Gary Chaffees book. But going with the Jost' exercise, I've made these combo: 1.- R l l K, L r r K 2.- R r l K, L l r K 3.- R l r K, L r l K . We can use it applying the Jost' number system, its fun.
this man is amazing. thanks!
Jost is great!!
Obrigado! Thank you!
Exelent! thank you!
Smart drumming...👏
Brilliant!
Genio absoluto! 🔥🥁❤️
It is very didactic, I really like his classes.
Der freshste Drummer schlägt wieder zu !
Jost is unique bcz he is kind, calm, humble, chill and an amazing musician not just a great and unique drummer. It's shocking to me how the most artistic and tasteful drummers are drawn to Sonor... the most audiblegasmic drums ever created.
Beautiful
That Cruiser Blue SQ1 is making me drool...
Muito bom...simplesmente de toopp
i like this drumming style
Jost is a total boss.
mind blowing
Holy shit dude! Amazing!
Jost “The Groove Machine” Nickel
Great interview.. keep Jared behind the glass
I think Jost was the first drummer to inspire me to stop playing absurdly loud and focus more on dynamics. The guy plays with a level of smoothness and finesse that you don't see a lot and still manages to look visually interesting.
Wow, he's really good. Musicianship galore.
like the shoes 👌👍
Bravissimo
What a beast he is.. Damn God.
Drumeo "the best"
That snare sounds perfect.

It's not only the snare itself that makes the differnce but also the way you're able to hit it
Advanced drumming is pure mathematics. I’m lucky to be loving both :)
I do that 2+4 a lot , but i know that as a 5 stroke + 1 kick :p Awesome lesson !
Schlagzeug hat einen sehr geilen sound und Jost groovt
Jost (forget the Nickel) Gold.
