Description
Jost Nickel, seit 2006 Drummer bei Jan Delay & Disko No. 1, legt mit dem JOST NICKEL FILL BOOK sein zweites Lehrwerk für Drummer vor. Widmete sich Jost in seinem erfolgreichen Erstlingswerk noch dem Thema Groove, so greift er in seinem neuesten Werk ganz tief in die Fill-Trickkiste! Denn sein FILL BOOK ist keine bloße Sammlung x-beliebiger Fills, sondern eine grundlegende Anleitung, die dazu inspirieren und in die Lage versetzen soll, eigene Fills am Drumset zu entwickeln. Eine Fülle verschiedener Fill-Konzepte hat Jost in diesem Buch für alle diejenigen entwickelt, die eine Entdeckungsreise in die weite Welt der Fills unternehmen wollen. Das JOST NICKEL FILL BOOK soll Freude bereiten, inspirieren und zum grundlegenden Verständnis der theoretischen Grundlagen der jeweiligen Fills beitragen, um den User in die Lage zu versetzen, sich eigene Fills auszudenken. In klaren Schritten stellt Jost universell einsetzbare rhythmische Konzepte in verschiedenen Schwierigkeitsgraden vor, zeigt Orchestrierungsideen, Phrasierungsmöglichkeiten sowie Dynamik- und Akzentuierungsübungen. Er widmet sich den verschiedenen Subdivisions, die für das Spiel von Drum-Fills entscheidend sind und präsentiert Fills für gerade Grooves sowie Fills für Shuffle-Grooves. Ideen wie Switch & Path Orchestration, Diddle Kick, Clockwise & Counterclockwise-Spielweise werden dein Spiel ebenso bereichern wie Step-Hit-HiHat, Hand & Foot-Rolls, Cymbal Choke, Stick-Shot und vieles mehr. Dem Buch liegt eine MP3-CD bei, für die Jost viele Fills in langsamen Tempi eingespielt hat. Zusätzlich findest du online zwanzig Videos, die alle Fills zeigen, bei denen es hilfreich ist, den Bewegungsablauf zu sehen. Jost und Alfred Music wünschen dir viel Spaß und Erfolg mit dem JOST NICKEL FILL BOOK.

About the Composer: Jost Nickel

Jost Nickel

Jost Nickel represents a generation of German drummers reshaping contemporary percussion. Since 2006, he has anchored the rhythm section of Jan Delay & Disko No. 1, a supergroup whose albums consistently top German charts. Beyond his work as a touring and session drummer, Nickel has become one of the world's most sought-after clinicians, presenting at Montreal Drum Fest, PASIC, the Meinl Drum Festival, and the London Drum Show, earning recognition as one of Modern Drummer's best clinicians in 2016 and landing on MusicRadar's list of the world's ten best drum educators.

Nickel's teaching philosophy balances pocket-driven grooves with a sophisticated, articulate cymbal approach rooted in jazz tradition. A graduate of Drummers Collective in New York and current faculty member at the University of Pop in Mannheim, he has published extensively in Modern Drummer, Rhythm & Drums, and international percussion journals. His three pedagogical books through Alfred Music have become standards in drum education, reflecting his commitment to building foundational understanding rather than offering quick fixes.

Why we love this

This book treats fills as a learnable language rather than a collection of tricks. Nickel deconstructs how fills work across different subdivisions, orchestrations, and phrasings, then gives drummers the conceptual tools to generate their own. You get 156 pages of progressively challenging material with audio and video support, making it equally valuable for self-study and as a structured curriculum for developing drummers.

What to expect

Technical, purposeful, and inspiring. This book respects the drummer's intelligence while breaking down complex concepts into digestible steps. The progression feels less like a workbook and more like a masterclass where each chapter reveals new possibilities.

Who it's for

Intermediate to advanced drummers ready to move beyond playing pre-written fills and start composing their own. Educators looking for a structured method that teaches the building blocks of fill construction will find comprehensive material for both one-on-one lessons and ensemble rehearsals.

How to get the most out of it

  • Start with the subdivision exercises before tackling complex orchestrations. A clear internal clock in 16th-note and triplet patterns becomes the foundation for every fill concept that follows.
  • Use the included audio to internalize phrasing and dynamics. Hearing how accents and ghost notes shape a fill makes written notation come alive.
  • Work switch and path orchestration slowly with a metronome set to quarter notes. The independence required here pays dividends across all hybrid and linear approaches.

How to use it

Incorporate this as a core text for intermediate to advanced drum students working toward independence and creativity. Jazz and contemporary ensemble directors can assign specific chapters to reinforce the fill vocabulary their drummers will need for authentic groove-based playing.

Skills your students will build

  • Composing fills across different subdivisions (16th notes, triplets, mixed groupings)
  • Orchestration and voice distribution between kick drum, snare, and toms
  • Phrasing and dynamic shaping within fills for musical intentionality
  • Hand and foot independence in hybrid and linear playing patterns
  • Applying fill concepts to both straight and shuffle grooves
  • Understanding rhythmic concepts including switch and path orchestration, clockwise and counterclockwise movement
  • Developing listening skills through audio and video demonstration
