his over-enthusiasm for the sound of an open hi hat has refreshed my passion for drumming once more

[jongomm]

When he gets some air in his hi-hat it makes my shoulders shiver. Also, all drummers please note - loose snare drum, hit softly = SOUL. Nobody wants to hear a gun going off in their eardrum. My advice is - spend less time in the gym, more time in the pocket! :)

Bernard Purdie should teach a thing or two about groovin especially to those guys at like, Berklee. I understand it can take as much work to develop chops as to groove, but staying in the pocket is what's really important.

My advice is play what's right for the music. One size does not fit all especially in music.

amazing!!!!

There are still a few thousand songs to be germinated from this beat.

feel is everything..... the insane chops monsters will never make the gigs/sessions and money he did.

He is groovy, but comparing him to John Bonham is like comparing apples to oranges. They played and mastered completely different styles of drumming. Purdie is smooth, crisp, and groovy. Bonham is energetic, dynamic, and powerful. Don't shit on Bonham because he didn't spend his lifetime playing funk, and don't ask purdie to cover Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll"

Hiiiii hat.

[SuperElephant111]

Yeah but bonzo ain't got nothin on Purdie......Listen to that Pocket!!!!
