Here’s a cool 70s funk groove in a James Brown mode, played by Andy Newmark, on the alternative version of Babies Makin’ Babies, from the Sly Stone album Fresh.
I’ve included the main groove and the major variations— all of these variations all happen in the first minute of the track. The hihat is played one-handed, and the splashes are very clean. I don’t know what else to say about it— this is something everybody should be listening to A LOT.
I am happy to help you with any of the materials on the site, and with anything else drumming related— contact me for private lessons, online world wide, or in person in Portland, Oregon. All levels of players, and all people, are welcome.
