The way he grooves when he switches to high energy at the end there is so beautiful. You feel it because he feels it. You can hear him feel it. Just locked in.
I've been a drummer for 63 years and loved playing many different beats and have listened to God only knows how many different drummers from many countries including the Island drummers ,but I admit that they lacked the one thing that Purdie can do as a master of and I call It : 🥁 SMOOTH 🥁 ( As a baby's ass )
That mighty Purdie…this iconic drummer has been an incredible inspiration for so many years to multiple generations of musicians…Thankyou very much Mr Purdie
When the master comes into the room or the studio, put your sticks down and be quiet...grown folk is sticking and if you are smart, you are taking notes. How he owns that pocket and rocks that hi hat... All hail Master Purdie!!!
He's holding the stick backwards. just thought I'd point that out. I imagine it's less bouncy so your less likely to accidently do rolls while doing the little wrist twitches for ghost notes.
I can almost hear the song Rosanna playing underneath that Purdie shuffle. Jeff Percaro talked about using a Purdie shuffle variation when he played that song.
Here's the thing he created the world good, but he gave human free will . We defiled ourselves by rebelling against him. the wage of our sins is death, but he came and sacrificed himself for us on the cross and took death in our place . Greatest act of love by far . He gave us the gospel that taught us how to live our lives . If we were to be obedient to his commands, live our life according to his ways there would be no suffering . There would only be peace and love and wonderful rewards . None the less he promised us that our suffering and tribulation won't last forever. There will be a new heaven and a new earth, and all the current things such as pain and death will pass away . And we will be with him forever. He gave us the key to this treasure, and it is to believe in the Gospel , to repent of your sins, and be obedient to his commandments. The greatest commandments are to love God with all your heart , all your soul , all your strength, and to love your neighbors such as yourself.
When you look at the majority of drummers today who look like they don't play their drums but chop them up, it's really nice to see a completely relaxed man sitting behind his drums, barely seeming to move, and quietly , but still plays incredibly groovy. I once heard a really good drummer say, "Playing fast and with good drive is part of the craft. The master, however, plays fast, with good drive - and yet so quietly that you can stand next to it and have a conversation." ....
In today's modern day of the huzzle and bustling of drumming we need this beat energetic Attitude at a nice pocket tempo The Father introduces the Shuffle of things The Father of that melodic Rythm Mr Shuffle him self MR , BERNARD PURDY YALL ! AGOOSETICKS '
