Thank you! Yes, Clyde’s performance on Funky Drummer is an absolute human miracle!!!One of my favorite tracks of all time.!

If your hand gets tired you simply use dotted 16ths so there’s a little pause then when you get second wind go back to straight 16. Most won’t notice it during playing because music fills in the spaces. Trick to longevity is using wrist not arm

If you liked my technique for stamina try the last rhythm Stanton did with right hand doing 16ths on floor Tom with accents it’s really easier then found consistent 16ths because you don’t fatigue your hand I used this type of fill for solos and added tons of doted 8ths and triplet bass notes used my high hat with power open close technique so it sounds like a cymbal crash albeit with smaller cymbals then a marching band and you sound like more then one drummer or a small marching band it’s really cool sounding and everyone wants to know how did you do that! Want to make it even more interesting use your left stick to do drags on bass drum batter head too. This was before double bass pedals so now it’s even more interesting when I toss in Cobham Style fast triplets or drags with bass drum. None of this is really hard to do if you make mistakes no one hears it they just hear this panoply of percusion in a funky way. Enjoy

Thank you! 🙌🏼
