Up to now i had found myself mesmerised by the vocalists rear waggling about. Often listening broadly to the band sound and fitting in. Recently i got the very good Billy Ward DVD Big Time which explained a breathing method and grooving.
To further the interest i have just finished reading and doing the meditations from
Kenny Werner's book/CD Effortless Mastery which covers this topic. Though a bit radical ( but valid) i found it works for me. I find my drumming has improved so much and my practicing has reduced and been more productive than ever.
Posts on the topic touch on the similar concept as in the book where the master sits and breaths while the drummer within just plays effortlessly emmitting groove.
IMO worth some spare gig money to improve ones drumming without effort. Check it out.
