Stanley Clarke & Ronald Bruner Jr., Drum & Bass "Bad Asses"

Live Drum & Bass with heart. Joyful pop-n'-slap. Bassist Stanley Clarke (b.1951) and drummer Ronald Bruner, Jr. (b. 1982) revel in a interlocking, counter-punching rhythmic romp for a lucky lunch-time crowd in the 2nd Floor Jazz Store at J&R Music World, 23 Park Row, Manhattan, New York, NY.

Promoting his latest CD, "The Toys Of Men", made a powerful, playful duet of one the the album's cuts, "Bad Asses".

nothing wrong with a double pedal....drummers use both hands right?

It's the end result that matters...it either sounds good or it doesn't...the tools are meaningless...he makes it flow, doesn't overuse it and looks at it for what it is, just another limb hitting a drum.

drummers been playin' double bass techniques for over 50 years...get over it and open up your ears.

it sounds f'n good.

[Sal Estrada]

This is dope

Jaco Pastorius did the same thing for the bass. HOwever, i disagree with how stanley has no pocket. You CANNOT play that stuff without having pocket. Listen to how he phrases his licks, and chops into the groove. They have to be in the pocket or it will not sound right. It's a feel thing

Drummer is lighting fast with those rolls. Stanley is creative is so creative in the improv, just feds Ronald stuff to play off of.
