Deep Pocket: Unlocking 16th-Note Feel w/ Ian Martin Allison
Summary
In this workshop, Ian breaks down a massively important part of rhythmic development: understanding and feeling the 16th-note grid, the underlying subdivision that keeps grooves locked in.
Through a series of practical, progressive exercises, you’ll move from simple subdivision work into more advanced rhythmic ideas, building a feel that becomes second nature, not something you have to think about.
Inside, you’ll learn:
- How to build clear, reliable subdivision awareness
- A focused drill covering every 16th-note placement
- How to practice with a metronome and drum grooves
- How these ideas relate to real music, including a classic Stevie Wonder-style line
- And more
You’ll also get access to a bonus Q&A session, where Ian answers student questions and expands on key ideas from the workshop.
