ffiTffi$* While my firstbook, Takelt To The Street,presentedmy approachto the manyaspects of NewOrleansdrumming, thisbookis intended to exploremyapproachto funkand other typesof groovedrumming. This book can in manyways be seen as a continuation of Takelt To The Street. Thereare manyclassicgroovestranscribed throughout, and whileI encouragelearning theseas faithfully as possible,I also suggestusingthemas toolsto createnewgrooves as well.By understanding whathas alreadybeendone,we can betterunderstand howto progressforuvard. Youmaywantto considersomesuggestions forwaysto use thisbook.I suggestlistening to the CD by itselfto furtherinternalize the feelof a lotof thesegrooves. Also,you maywantto try coppingthe groovesby ear first.Trycomingup withyourown variationsbasedon yourfirstimpressionsof whatyou hear.Rememberto recordor notate whatyou play.You can alwaysgo back and learnthe groovesnotefor note,butyou can't you get fromhearingsomething alwaysrecapture the inspiration forthe firsttime.

The encloseddisc is an MP3/Datadisc.MostnewerCD & DVD playerswillplaythisdisc as a normalCD.Youcan also insertthe disc intoyourcomputerand importall thetracks intoiTunesor any othermusicsoftware. All of theexamplesin thebookare includedon thedisc,andthetracknumbersmatchthe examplenumbersin thebook.Lettershavebeenaddedto eachfilenameto makethedisc playin order.

*AffiEg BROYYN In 1969 Clyde also recordedthe masterpiece"Funky Drummer." Clyde beginsthe tune with a very simple sixteenth-note hi-hatgroovewith a missing 1 on the bass drum.He graduallymorphsthe grooveintoan eight-barbreakthatis one of the mostsampleddrum breaks of alltime,withthe "Amen Brother"break maybe comingclose. I'vetranscribedthe wholeeight-barbreak.Usuallyonly bar 1 or bar 3 is sampled,due to vocalspresentin the rest of the break.Dependingon which bar is sampled,you may have heard the (slightly) open hi-hatin differentplaces.The consistentsixteenthnotes in the righthand along with all the other intricaciesbetweenthe snare and bass drum make this a very challenging break to play.I've heard speculationthat this tune (like"Papa's Got A Brand New Bag") may originallyhave been recordedat a slower tempo and the tape may have been sped up just a bit. lf that's true, it may be of some consolationwhen you first try to get this groove up to speed. Notice that the feel is in-betweenstraightand swung, but closer to the straightside of the spectrum.The "open"hi-hatshappenalmostaccidentally,as Clyde was most likelytapping eighth notes with the heel of his left (hi-hat)foot and liftinghis whole footoff the pedal ever so slightlyfor the quasi-opennotes.(Thistechniquehas also been used to great effectby Bernard Purdie.)Also, this should be playedwitha fairlylight touch;the break sounds so big because of the reverbappliedto this section of the tune.

I've heard Clyde say, "lf I would've known so many people were going to hear that thing, I would've played something hipper than that." Funny, Clyde, very funny.

JAMES BROSTN

,

ve been workingon the grooveto "Funky Drummer"off and on for 15 years, easy. The hard part is gettłngthe righthand up to speed and then gettingeverythingelse to fall into place.So...a couple of things I recommend.Check out the JoJo Mayer DVD Secret Weapons for the Modern Drummer.There's a section where he explains the push-pul|techniquefor płayingquickercontinuoussixteenthnotes in the righthand' Few humanswill ever be able to do it the way JoJo does, but I foundthatjust by practicingthis bit, it he|pedget my right.handsixteenthsup to speed a |itt|ebetter. techniquea łitt|e Another tip is to practicethe groove over and over at a slower tempo.You can use any number of software programs (such as Roni Music's Amazing Slow Downer, Seventh String'sTranscribe!,Apple's Logic, or DigiDesign'sPro Tools)to slow down the track withoutchangingthe pitch.These programsusuallyhave a functionto loop it up as well. This allows you to hear exactly how Clyde is phrasingthe sixteenthnotes.You'll notice they are prettystraight,except that the snare drum skip beats and the note right before the backbeaton beat 4 are just a littleswung.lt's almostas if the right-hand(hi-hat)notes are straightand the left-hand(snaredrum)notes are swungever so slightly.Youcan really hear this when you slow it down. Practice the groove at a slower tempo so you can completelylock everythingin. Get used to feelingwhere everythingsits, and get used to the feelingof having it totallylocked.You can practiceto a metronome,but also practice to the slowed-downloop. Once you get it totally locked at the slower tempo, you can graduallyincreasethe tempoto get it up to speed.Once you get it up to speed,try practicing it even a littlequicker.This will make playingit at the righttempo a littleeasier as well. As for the semi-shoopson the hi-hat,I tap my left heel in eighthnotes on the hi-hatheel plate.When it'stime for the "shoop,"you just releasethe pressurewiththe ball of your foot not really liftingup the foot,but just barely. ever so slightly... Also it helps to use a crankedmetal snare drum and play it reallylightlyto get the sound. LudwigSupra-Phonic As far as I know,Clyde was using a 5x14 chrome-over-aluminum people played realize. than most lighter in the studio 400. Clyde You can apply these techniquesto any other groovesyou practiceas well.

1970 was a landmarkyear of turmoiland innovationin the James Brown camp. Most of '60s band, including Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley, Bernard Odum, and the legendary Jimmy Nolen, were disgruntledwith pay and touringconditionsand approachedJames beforea March 9 concert in Columbus,Georgia.James was unwillingto meet the band's demands and immediatelysent his Learjetto Cincinnatito pick up a band of teenagers, Brown knew of the Collins led by Bootsy Collins and his brotherPhelps ("Catfish"). The brothersand brothersbecausehis recordlabel,King,was also locatedin Cincinnati. was not most the material, but the transition of their crew were fans of Brown and knew perfectlysmooth and it took a few weeks for the new band to get up to speed.While the old band had featureda large horn sectionand multipleguitaristsand drummers,the new band (named the J.B.'s)was more focused around the stripped-downrhythmsection of one bass player(BootsyCollins),one guitarist(CatfishCollins),and drummerJabo Starks (who stuck around because he felt he had a contractto honor). Once James feltthe J.B.'swere readyfor the studio,he took them in on April 25 to record "Get Up (l Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine."The tune was a monsterhit, and James Brown and his band were back on track once more.

I'veseen many great drummersmisinterpretthis beat withjust the righthand playingthe hi-hat.I was fortunateto see Zig give a very rare clinic.He revealedthat he used to watch a drummerby the name of Stanley Ratcliff(or"Rat")playingon BourbonStreetin the mid'60s.

Notethatthis beat is verysimilarto "CissyStrut,"butthe handshavebeen movedfrom the hi-hatto the snare,withthe righthand going back up to the open hi-hatfor the lf you play"CissyStrut"withthe righthandon the hi-hatand thentry to play backbeats. that "FunkyMiracle," they seem like two unrelatedgrooves.But when you understand the played hi-hat, the similarities between two "Cissy Strut"is with both hands on the becomeobvious. Now let's check out the correlationbetweenthe "Ratcliffbeat"and "Hey Pocky A.Way." lf you take awaythe backbeaton the snare,slow the beat downslightly,and moveboth handsto the snare,you have"Hey PockyA-WayJ' molphinginto..HeyPockyA.Way.''AUD!00ttY ss. {d&nteliffbcgś?'

T}tE,, Fl.sB*s'' Bts F.FŁY*Xę n thissectionwe'llexaminesomeof thecreativeprocessesinvolvedin groove-based and funk drumming.We've examinedsome of the techniquesthit should be digestedand whathas come before.Now I'dliketo explorehow we can combine

some of these differentaspects to create new groovesand come up withyour own approach.

We can start by examining and understandinghow some of our favoritedrummers created their classic grooves.We will try to develop a deeper understandingof some of the masters'creatłveprocesses' We'||examine some of the buildingblocks and where they got some of the ideas to do what they did. We can then begin to create groovesof our own by using certaintechniquesthat can aid in the creationprocess. We can now begin to apply some creativetechniques I like to call the "ations."These would incłude examination,variation, style and tone combination, new app|ication, realization, exploration, improvisation,interpretationand inspiration.We can also experimentwith feel and tone juxtapositionas well.

Then I playedthison his leg... 129.

He smiledand said,"That'sit!Veryfewpeopleunderstand that,butthat'sright." I thinkit's important to realizethatJabo himselfplayedmanyvariationson the original recordings and playedthingsslightlydifferent liveas well.lt'simportant to checkoutall of thesevariationsand use the ones thatfitthe situationat hand. Let'scheck out some variationson Jabo's grooves. 130.

ffięeE&#*ęB Once the rightfoot starts doing upbeatsixteenthnotes,you can also add upbeat eighth notes with the left-footbass drum to add to the overalldrive.I do this more to assimilate some of the things"Geechie"from the Wild Magnolia Mardi Gras Indiansdoes on a bass drum with mallets ratherthan playingtraditional"doublebass."Geechie usually plays a bass drum restingon a hotel luggagestand so that the head is facing up. He plays it with a bass drum mallet in the right hand and the back end of a bass drum mallet in the left hand with traditionalgrip.The rhythmshe plays are usually based off of the cinquillo rhythmffi ł Ę or variationsthereof.He p|aysthe rhythmswith his righthand and fil|s in with the left.The stickingscreated will look familiarand usually look like this: RLRRLRRL-RLRR-LRRL or RLRR-LRRL-RRLR-RLRL. Sometimes Geechie will sit on the RRLR-RLRL stickingas well.This creates an awesome rolling,rumblingfeelingwhen played in conjunctionwith a kit drummeror other percussionists. I often use a 26-inchbass drum that is playedwith a remotepedaljust to the rightof my main pedal.So for me, the upbeatsixteenthnotes are on the 26 while the upbeateighth notes are on the 20 (or 18).With the two differentbass drums ltry to approximatethe rumbling,rolling,percolatingeffectthat Geechie gets wiih what he plays.When I do this, I like to straddlethe hi-hatat the same time.This sounds great if you add a tambourineor ching ring on top of the hi-hatas well.With this setup, it sounds betterif the left{ootbass drum is softerthan the right. 192.

Note that the RLRL-RLRL sticking stays constant with these.

Whilewe'reon the topicof shuffles,I'dliketo coversome doublebass drumshufflesas well.This typeof shufflewas popularized by BillyCobham,SimonPhillips,TerryBozzio, and Alex Van Halen. Let's start by re-examiningexample397. Let's now play straight quarternoteson the hi-hatwiththe leftfootinsteadof 2 and 4. Nowmovethe leftfootfrom the hi-hatto the doublepedal,and you'replayinga doublebass drumshuffle. 418.c. 180bpm Notethattheseare generallyplayedat muchfastertemposthanregularshuffles.I often liketo playthesewithmy leftfooton my 2O-inchbass drumwithmy righton the 26-inch bass drumforthe upbeats. -3_--

Also notethatwiththe upbeathi-hatshuffle,the leftfootis obviouslyplayingthe upbeats. Withthe doublebass drumshuffle,however,it is commonto playthe upbeatswiththe rightfoot.This is becausethe rightfootis usuallymoreusedto playingupbeatswhereas the leftfootis usedto playingquarternoteson the hi-hat.This makesit easierto get the doublebass drumshuffleup and runningand also makesit easierwhentryingto add ideason top of thefeet.

ffi Once you'veexperimented withthis,you shouldbe ableto comfortably lay the backbeat backin a waythatwillmakethegroovesit better. Sometimes(a lotof times)a bass player or someotherinstrument willbe playingon top or aheadof whatyou are layingdown.lf you laythe backbeatbackjusta littlebit,it can makethingsfeela lotfatterand funkier.lt mayfeelstrangeat first,especiallyif you'rehearingit in the headphones forthefirsttime. I remembercheckingoutJohnnyVidacovichonce in a rehearsalwitha Big Band.I was sittingbehindthe band betweenthe bass playerand the drums.The bass playerwas playinga bit on top and Johnnywas layingthe backbeatso far back it almostsounded wrong.The space betweenwheretheywere each feelingthe beatfeltlikethe size of a canyon'But when I went out frontof the band it soundedpeńect|yfat, round,and grooving. WhenI walkedbackbehindthe bandagain...thecanyonwas stillthere.Johnny was creatinga big fat crevicefor the band to lie in. Most of the timethose littlegaps disappearin thetrackoncealltheotherinstruments are in place,andtheoveralltrackwill soundthatmuchfuller. Let'sexperiment withlayingthe backbeatback.This is exaggerated on purpose,justto see howfaryou can pushit so you can learnwhatwillwork.I playedthisto a clickand I you do the samewhentryingthese. stronglyrecommend Startby playingthe backbeaton the click,thengraduallylay it backfurtherand further. Eventually, bringit backon the clickagain. 459.AUD!oottY

"ImnlluJkft*lffi There'sa lot thatcan be done to ornament,decorate,or livenup the backbeat.You

can start by takingthe simplestof groovesand spice them up by applyingsome of the followingconcepts.You can then applythese conceptsto virtuallyany backbeatgrooves to varytheminfinitely. Let'stakea lookat thebasicgroovethatwe willbe altering. We'llbe concentrating on funk grooves,but try these concepts with shuffles,rock grooves,and any other types of groovesyou may encounter.

llrum llotes $nare Chatter One of the mostcommonand usefulthingswe can do is add chatternotesor gracenotes after,before,or in-between the backbeats'These firstexamp|esfeaturechatternotesó |a ClydeStubblefield. Of coursewe couldwriteoutthousandsof variations on this,butthese are justto giveyou an idea of whatcan be doneto the backbeatsof pre-existing grooves to vary them and help spurn creativity. I startedout by demonstrating some of these alterationsto the simplegrooveabove,but make sure to apply these ideas to other groovesas well.Thereare also plentyof variations on chatternotesin previoussections of the book.

ffi theBackbeat Present inFills I'dliketo talkaboutthe conceptof playingfillswhilekeepingthe backbeatpresent.Jrist becauseyou play a fill doesn'tmean thatyou have to foregothe grooveor even the backbeat. lt'spossibleto playfillsand includethebackbeat. UsuallywhenI playfills,I like to keep the backbeator clave or relevantrhythmicstructurepresent.This keeps mostof the fills I playrelatedto the grooveand the musicat hand...abit of musicalcontinuity, if youwill. Earlyon in my playing,I wouldrecordmyselfand listenback (l stilldo this of course). I noticedthatcertainthingsI was doingwouldrush,sextuplet fillsin particular. WhatI did to try to remedythis problemwas A) playthe grooveat handwitha metronome and go intothe sextupletfill,all the whilestayinglockedwiththe metronome. This helpedme "memorize" wherethesubdivisions shouldsit at different temposin different grooves. The otherthingthathelpedmy timegreatlywas B) feelingor internalizing the backbeateven if I wasn'tplayingit.Feelingthe backbeatthrougheverything I did,whetherI was actually playingthe backbeator not, greatlyhelpedmy playingand helpedme learn where everything shouldsit. Check out these very simplefills.They start out with the backbeatactuallypresent. See if you recognizesomeof the stickingstheseare basedon. 588. RRLRL
