What does "Four On The Floor" mean?
Translated you could say: "Four on the floor"! This refers to a certain way of playing for the drummer, who sets the main rhythm with four bass drum beats. If the drummer plays with the bass drum, i.e. with the foot four quarter notes in time and adds snare drum and hi-hat etc. to a complete groove, this is called "Four On The Floor" groove by drummers. Thus, the bass drum also acts like a metronome.

Innovative Concept
Drum Training "Four On The Floor" offers a detailed insight into this playing style and probably the most played drum groove in the world. This phenomenon can be found in countless music genres and not only in current pop music. Over 40 styles including background knowledge are a big part of this book. Furthermore you will find many exercises for coordination, timing and variations for grooves. A collection of well-known songs and their drum grooves round out the whole concept.

Practical and effective
In five chapters you will find numerous exercises as well as many groove and fill-in examples from the everyday playing of a modern "all-round" drummer. From basic grooves to intricate fills, every player at his personal level will find detailed info here to get even better. Fact is: In the end it has to sound good and work for the player as well as for the band and the respective song. You will achieve this goal here on your own.

"Patrick has already filled a gap in the market with his last book 'Tools & Skills', and he will do the same with his new book 'Four On The Floor'.
In every modern band 'Four On The Floor Grooves' are needed, but unfortunately hardly anyone knows the spectrum of these grooves. Patrick has explicitly taken care of this topic in recent years and is now known throughout Germany, Austria and Switzerland as a drummer for it.

The book not only fills a gap in the market, as there is no book on this topic yet, but will also be an important tool for drummers who play in cover bands, top 40 bands or bands in general.

Additionally, this book is super structured and suitable for any playing level. I myself would like to use this book at my drum school and offer it to the students.
I especially like the fact that it is not only about pure drumming, but that it also connects to the bass instrument. In the classroom, this tool offers enormous advantages, as the students automatically learn to form a unit with the bass.

I would also like to mention what an enormous range of styles this book depicts and conveys: It is hard for the "everyday" drummer to imagine where 'Four On The Floor Grooves' can be found everywhere.

In summary, this book will inspire many drummers and find the right place in the drum literature."
