Thanks jeff, This is the best breakdown of funky drummer on youtube. The breakdown on the hi-hat is very key and important i thought and even down to explaining clyde doing it heel-toe. Never knew how to play it and now i know it after this video. Thanks!

Whoa!!! Now that is a funky drummer! Love the head movements while you play, you can tell you are truly feeling this beat. Great job bro.
Damn Jeff, that was awesome. Such a great feel and such a clear way of breaking it down one limb at a time :)

@drumteacher76 Thanks so much Mike, I've been a fan of yours for a long time. I just had a long day at work and when I saw your comment I felt so motivated to come back home and play drums.

@samthekunt Yeah, rimshots on 2 & 4, the rest are ghost notes. Thanks Sam

Best online version. I jammed with Clyde about 15 years ago and he couldn't do it anymore. He said he was 19 when he originally did it and did so many other classics since.
