Pete DePoe is Redbone's first drummer. He is playing on "Redbone", "Potlatch" and "Message from a Drum". He gives those firsts albums this incredible "prehistoric rhythm".

He was 19. And the beats he made up was The King Kong Beat. he was the first drummer that played a 16th note rhythm pattern on the high hat and snare drums that was never before recorded by any other drummer(many drummers all over the world copying his King kong beat a-specially in Funk,Soul and Disco music)And that is on the first Redbone album. If you listen, you will hear. Listen to Things go better, Jambone,prehistoric rhythm and Sweet Mode. And you will hear the beat that he plays.
