Al Jackson Jr., known as "The Human Timekeeper," was a founding member of Booker T. & the M.G.'s and the backbone of the Stax sound. He provided the soulful, steady beat for "Ain't No Sunshine," setting the standard for R&B drumming. For anyone learning drums, studying his restraint and feel is highly beneficial.
His style is defined by a heavy, immovable pocket and a deep, resonant snare sound. Playing drums with his steady pulse teaches the importance of consistency over complexity. His soulful grooves are often the subject of drum lessons on rhythm and soul, and they are excellent for recording atmospheric drum covers.
