The very essence of funk.....restraint and space and sheer GROOVE......loads of ghost notes - like have a percussionist in the background, and absolutely no show boating, just disciplined funkiness. If he'd been younger he would have got the job of being BOTH James Brown's drummers..love it
What I find so great about Garibaldi that he doesn't feel the urge to show off. Only when the groove asks for it he'll go beserk. Very musical drummer.
I met him once about 10 years ago. A friend of mine that used to jam with David G and I had a chance to speak with him for about three minutes after a show. He struck me as very humble, almost shy. I still think about the meeting him.
BORING PLAYING ? alright its funk and the groove is held tight by the drums and so the playing should be repetetive ( for dance purpose) but there is so much more you can do !!!!!! good bu wanna see more fill ins plus triplets work really well on this track
The key to this technique wise is looseness. Watch closely how he is just dropping the sticks, lots of space in his hands, extremely relaxed, there is enough weight in the sticks to for them to do the work. If you have the technique the correct the sticks almost play themselves. You are just moving them, staying out of the way, letting them do the work. That is where the groove comes from!
@webstercat Right you are my man! When I play that loosely, I get that beautiful tone that David's got and my grooves are in the pocket. How tightly or loosely you hold your sticks really has an effect on the sound you draw from your drums.....especially the snare drum.
@dwsabianguy I purchased one a while back and when I play, I get that sound he gets. I know that copying a cat's snare sound may not be all that original but I must admit that his sounds so good that I am unashamed at my reproduction of it. It makes playing funk so much damned fun!
