The GOLD System, by Andrea Zingrillo, is a complete method for mastering ghost notes in your grooves. The title stands for Ghost Note – Ostinato – Layer – Drumming. As the title suggests, author Andrea Zingrillo provides a complete approach to adding ghost notes to different types of grooves. From the author:
Every drummer loves ghost notes! Usually, we use them to fill the empty spaces of a groove. But what if we use them as an ostinato? This is what the GOLD SYSTEM is about. It is about improving your INDEPENDENCE, COORDINATION, PRECISION, TECHNIQUE and leveling the HAND BALANCE. No more WEAK HAND!!!
LAYER DRUMMING: How many times as drummers do we find ourselves working on a new song but we cannot find anything that sounds good? We try a lot of different grooves until something seems to fit. It can take a lot of time. But what if we could create hundreds of different grooves over the same snare and bass drum pattern? The GOLD SYSTEM will show you how to do this, adding and changing LAYERS until you find the right grooves in an easy way.
The system uses four different ostinato layers: (1) snare and bass drum ostinatos, (2), right hand ostinatos, (3) left-hand ghost note ostinatos, and (4) left foot ostinatos. Using this approach we’ll create more than 2000 different grooves.
