Here is the first part of a multi part series on Funk Drumming.
This first video acts as an introduction. I show you my influences as well as several techniques I use to play this type of music. For source material, I am using the classic Funk book The Funk Drumming Workbook by Chet Doboe. This book is out of print, but you can find it online for download. In this series, I will be performing and analizing all of the 15 solos that are in the back of the book starting on page 45. This video features solo #1.
