@craigzarkos Haha...good one.
-
really suks when you have to hire two mediocre drummers just to make one.

keltner is playing a "KINKS" kit.

@funkydrummer14 - Check into some of the Purdie videos on YouTube. There are some really great tutorial ones where he explains how he developed the Purdie Shuffle... one where he's tapping is snare hand fingers on the drum as he's playing the groove. Plus his deliver is so understated and humorous. Also listen (though you likely have it) to Richard Bailey on Jeff Beck's 'Blow by Blow'. Unbelievable, he was only 17 at the time. Funky stuff!

@MrCherryJuice Yeah..."The Groove is Here" DVD...I will be purchasing that one very soon.. ....VERY heavily influenced by Steve's playing as well as all the other players you mentioned....Bernard Purdie plays some amazing stuff as well. It sill amazes me that many drummers out there still think great drumming is all about how fast you can play and technical prowess!? More emphasis on the groove with minimal fills ( sometimes none) and a light touch has always been my approach to the kit..

@funkydrummer14 - Thank you, funkydrummer14. You might be interested in Steve Jordan's drum video, wherein he demos all sorts of grooves. Many sound somewhat dated in style... but those are the ones that really work best. Their funky because they swing, not because they have some slamming backbeat. Listen to David Garibaldi w/Tower of Power, or the drummers of James Brown. The funkiest cats all swing. And you don't need to be hammering it out to do that. And guest what? No technical chops!

@MrCherryJuice You're 100% on that one! Totally Dig it!!
