Can’t help but smile when the groove locks in :)

Recording myself playing has improved my groove so much. – here’s a video of me keeping up with @dr.stevegadd. How many other drummers have the guts to play a fill that’s just 2 quarter notes on the snare? (Wait for it)

If you like @vulfpeck, check out their predecessor: Stuff! Stuff was the premiere instrumental funk band of the 1970s, featuring legendary musicians like Cornell Dupree, Richard Tee, and Eric Gale.

This track is called “Foots” and it actually featured two drummers: Steve Gadd and Chris Parker (who played in the SNL house band for six years!) I’m trying to play both parts at once, hence all the cross-overs to the ride
.
I put some clothes and towels on my drums to get that funky and compressed drum sound of the 1970s. As @googlebully says, the snare should sound like “closing the door of an old Mercedes.” Personally I like to imagine it’s like tossing a baseball right into the perfect spot of your glove.
