Spanky on drums yo!
Sorry for being so British but what is a Shed? Is it where gospel groups practice or something?
― Crackle Box, Friday, 15 February 2008 15:42 (sixteen years ago) link
shed = woodshed = old term for where you practice. "shedding" = practicing.

Ari, as good as he is, just keeps getting better.
I can't find any stunning footage of Hamid Drake, but here he is anyway in a brief clip, jamming with Adam Rudolph in a drum duet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dxtgwsvGlo&feature=related

I love solos like that. It's like the drum equivalent of that KRS-One verse from MCs Act Like They Don't Know about punchlines vs. moving the crowd

If I'm not mistaken there is a tribute to two of the other guys in that one coming up at Birdland.
1968 Billy Cobham was just dying for someone to invent fusion already.

ha, i like this dude: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkwdjlEUeRQ. i used to use some of those tricks like scratching on the snare wires and laying on the cymbals on the snare, but not as smooth as that. his other videos are pretty sick too.

Article in NYTimes about the Purdie shuffle because he is appearing in Hair: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/31/theater/31purd.html?_r=2
I guess he worked with Galt MacDermot on some demos for it back in the day, but of course Idris Muhammad was in the original show.

You may or may not like this song but the percussionist has some pretty sick chops: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SRYva8u01w
Ha, I actually ended up seeing Hair, but Purdie was not there, some slightly younger and thinner cat (though not actually young or thin) with an Afro wig was on drums. Wilbur Bascomb was there though.

― pithfork (Hurting 2), Saturday, 9 January 2010 20:41 (fourteen years ago) link
It's going to be interesting to see what happens to him. I mean unlike a lot of the child prodigy musicians I see on youtube, this kid seems genuinely ENTHRALLED by music and totally has fun making the videos. And what's really remarkable is not just his chops but his feel. But I still worry about this five year old with his own "youtube channel" and all these expectations on him.

is that ernesto simpson on kit? my brass band once played after those dudes in switzerland, i think it was the bona/toto/lokua band. ernesto was playing along as his mobile drum riser was getting hauled away (with him on it).
― hardcore oatmeal (Jordan), Friday, 24 June 2011 15:06 (twelve years ago) link
Ha, I almost wrote in original "that must be Ernesto Simpson on the traps." I asked Samuel about Ernesto the other day, he told me he was living in Europe now, can't remember what city. Think they are playing some European dates together next month

IDK some parts of those Chris Dave videos are sick as hell but then they have to go and do bullshit like play off meter trane excerpts in the middle of a dilla groove and I just don't get the point other than degree-of-difficulty.

xpost -- yeah but it reminds me of high school jazz band when we would always take every song into double time and go through every possible substitute chord progression. It's boring.

Ha, almost posted something on that virtuosity thread about how Benny Powell would never hire somebody who played more than a,say, four chorus solo because they should be able to show what they knew in a short period of time and not have to literally play every single thing they knew
