i never thought he was the most technical player but i'll be damned if he isn't one of the most enjoyable to listen to. this guy has recorded some of the greatest drum breaks on all time!!
Idris Muhammad was born Leo Morris on November 13, 1939 and when he converted to islam he changed his name..he is an american, a native to new orleans
Idris is my neighbor! I hear him drumming sometimes when I'm outside. And I've been in his house before. I had my bass on me, and he said, "Boy, lemme see that geetar. Oh wait... I don't know how to play geetar. Nevermind." lmao
Guys, his real name is Leo Morris - since he changed it to reflect his Muslim beliefs I don't think he would like being called Welsh. For more Idris, check out some old Blue Note groove by the likes of Grant Green and Lou Donaldson - most of it is available cheaply on CD these days through Amazon.
Bob James classic Nautilus. The drum solo featured in this clip is from a composition of his titled "Wander". It can be found on his 1971 Prestige LP "Black Rhythm Revolution". Good luck finding it for a reasonable price!!!!
Wander - from the album Black Rhythm Revolution

Apparently, Idris' pre-Muslim name was Bad-ass Motherf____r. Or, at least, it should have been. What a great drummer...

Idris is a Welsh name.

Also an Arabic name.

It's a much older Welsh name. Hence it's Welsh.
spoonie8881 2 years ago
maybe so but the arabic name didn't come from the welsh one so really there are two origins arabic and welsh
