"Pocket drumming" refers to a style that consists of a simple, solid beat that lacks the flair of a lot of fills and what-not.

This style is typically done on a kit using relatively few pieces.

i.e. you could pull it off with just a kick drum, snare, and hi-hats; but the number of pieces is irrelevant as compared to how you play them

Pocket drumming is when a drummer sits a groove so deep and never lets the tempo waver, creating a comfortable pocket for the rest of the band to play in, it is falsely labeled as an easy thing to do, however very few drummers can pull it off, and it takes a talented band to create a deep pocket. The drummer can not be held solely responsible for the time. I have personally seen some of the best drummers pocket groove's destroyed by inexperienced musician's. Check out James Brown or the Meter's for this style of playing.

Also take a listen to the Dave Matthews Band's live jam sessions; particularly Carter Beauford's drumming style.
