Jaki Liebezeit is legendary among musicians, remembered as the groove and power behind German band Can. Until now, though, few have known about his most significant legacy: a complete practical theory of drumming, based on the natural principles of movement observed during his research into the discipline. Following Jaki's death in 2017, producer Jono Podmore and journalist John Payne contacted his group Drums Off Choas and collaborator Burnt Friedman to see if the theory could be pieced together before it was lost or corrupted. Fortunately the basic principles had already been transcribed, and with the help of Jaki's widow Birgit Berger; drummers Reiner Linke, Maf Retter and Gero Sprafke; composer Manos Tsangaris; and discographer Bryan O'Connell, they have assembled an account of not only the drum theory, but also Jaki's conceptual and pragmatic vision as applied throughout his life.
