Rest in Peace Clyde Stubblefield😔 Clyde Stubblefield (April 18, 1943 – February 18, 2017) was a great drummer best known for his work with James Brown. Stubblefield's recordings with James Brown are considered to be some of the standard-bearers for funk drumming, including the singles "Cold Sweat", "There Was a Time", "I Got The Feelin'", "Say It Loud – I'm Black and I'm Proud", "Ain't It Funky Now", "Mother Popcorn", "Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved" and the album Sex Machine. Clyde Stubblefield is one of the most sampled drummers in history, the man whose uncanny ability to deconstruct pop music's simple 4/4 rhythms into a thousand different sly syncopations laid the foundation not only for funk, but for most of hip-hop, as well. His rhythm pattern on James Brown's "Funky Drummer" is among the world's most sampled musical segments. #ClydeStubblefield
