Subscribe to my channel here: bit.ly/2AyH1Fb
I discovered funk drumming when I first began learning the funk drum beats that many of the songs I played on Bourbon Street in New Orleans required. I had never listened to ANY of this funk music, so it was a complete schooling in and of itself. Remember, this style is meant to GROOVE. Pocket is your friend. To quote Parliament...One nation, under a groove. This is a quick lesson on 10 easy and fun funk drum beats you can learn and use today.
Oh, and my apologies for not filming the last drum beat. COMPLETELY dropped the ball on that one but I had already told you at the beginning that I would teach you 10. So, snag the sheet music at the link above and check out that 10th drum beat. Don't worry, I fired myself. But then I had to rehire myself because it's my business. So...you're stuck with me lol.

Stephen my man, Funk drumming is my thang baby! I was in a Funk band in the 1980's. We had male & female lead singers, backup singers, horns, keyboards the whole 9 yards, we killed it!!! We had paying gigs every weekend for over 3 years until the two lead singers got married and moved out of state (assholes) lol! The female (Robyn) sounded just like Chaka Khan! I still own over 300 Funk/Disco albums! Thank you for including the sheet music and for doing this - Funk Lessons! You da man!

I know it’s technically not funk but one of the greatest grooves ever was Alex Van Halen on Mean Street. Not only the funky bass but the fact that he could add ride cymbal on top of that.

Another great lesson, Stephen! I always tend to add ghost notes to my funk grooves, and I overuse them sometimes, but there's a catch - I often play some (soft) press rolls instead of standard ghost notes. Is that wrong or it can be considered as ghosts? I also like to do accents by playing rimshots in order to increase the contrast between the accent and soft(er) notes
@StephenTaylorDrums
@StephenTaylorDrums 5 лет назад
Nothing wrong with some buzzes thrown in there. They’re still ghost notes. It’s the volume that is the decider. And yes, easy to overplay the ghost notes and let them get in the way of the pocket.
