Clyde Stubblefield - The Funky Drummer

I like to post a lot of funk pieces here because there's not as much of it around these days despite the huge influence the genre had on music. If you have any interest in funk, you'll love this. It's a clinic with Clyde Stubblefield, one of the originators of funk and a mainstay with James Brown's band for many years.

In this video you'll see first hand how to play the "Funky Drummer" beat as well as hear how some of those great JB songs were written.
