Rock Steady is a great groove, Aretha Franklin on vocals, Bernard Purdie on drums. The recording does not do the drums justice. You cannot really hear the bass drum nor the ghost notes. This is my humble attempt to play this groove which has been a puzzlement for so many years!

Many thanks to the folks at Samson for their very cool Q3HD video recorder! I'll be recording a lot with this amazing camera.

  • Hi Chuck, thanks for your tutorial. Great song for drummers, I covered this on drums here on YT. I've used your text Funkmasters often.

  • Great Post Chuck, makes this much easier to transcribe when I can hear just drums. Hard to differentiate the bass drum sound from the slap bass guitar sometimes.

  • hey chuck thanks a lot !!! could you please give us transcriptions for both the sex machine and the rock steady grooves ??? thx
