What the heck, let’s do some more Dougie Wright. The last thing was a little goofy, but today’s transcription is for me a minor classic of 70’s studio rock drumming. The album again is Serge […]

Groove o’ the day: Dougie Wright — En Melody
I spent a lot of time listening to French songwriter Serge Gainsbourg as I was working on my album of his music a few years ago, and came to appreciate a very British, very 70’s, […]
Transcription: Dougie Wright — La Décadanse

Transcription: Sly Dunbar intros
Here’s a project I had been meaning to tackle for awhile- a compilation of Sly Dunbar lead-ins. These are all taken from Serge Gainsbourg’s album, Aux Armes Et Caetera, which is like a reggae drumming […]
