[OnlyEyeOrginal]

respect from all the people

[leasecleaning]

why didn't I get a class like that in school? I would have showed up alot more.

[pampinjon]

despite the ilness he must have been suffering from, he still got the funky part of his brain working!

[guildmanhattan]

That's some funky ass shit!

[EddieLandsberg]

This is what happens when you DON'T go to Berkelee and instead spend years getting your butt kicked on the road by tuff bandleaders and know that for every beat you play there are plenty of other drummers waiting in line for the job. Only the BADDEST survive, and Starks, Purdie and Stubblefield were the undisputed champs ! ! !

[abquestion]

@EddieLandsberg One of the truest comments lately. Thumbs up. I have nothing against good education, but it should never be an end in itself. Early jazz guys most of the time didn't attend formal schools or did it only briefly. A lot of listening and observation as well as autodidactism was the norm. And even later Lafaro, Baker, Ward, Ponder, Hoffman etc. didn't attend/left music colleges and their arms didn't fall off ;)

BTW I like your videos a lot.

[spotville73]

The original funky drummer!

[vegunited06]

did this guy also do soulpride?

[Rugerman205]

Yeah I love that song and it's called SOUL POWER! *LOL* Gotta love the Original Funky Drummer himself.

[freddypknight]

Soul Power is NOT Soul Pride. They are 2 distinctly different songs. LOL. Soul Pride is an instrumental James Brown Band workout written and arranged by "Pee-Wee Ellis." It features Jimmy Nolen on guitar and the phat "JB horn section sound" characteristic of Mr. Ellis' arrangements. James Brown can be slightly heard in the background goading the band on. And, yes, Clyde Stubblefield is playing those crisp, funky drums, (he solos) on the tune. Soul Power is from a different era in JB's career.

[KarlheinzSchelker]

It's amazing what a difference acoustics make. The size of that room makes the drums sound really big and rock-ish, as opposed to the light and crisp sound of the recording.

[airmax95ive]

heey, i was in this class

[thebetterhalf37]

that beat is very similar to the last 2 measures of the amen brother break

[normanbrees]

Damn dude don't leave us hanging. Is there any more?

[muziquelle]

[zigzagzig40]
