Description

If you want to completely begin to understand the art of soul and funk drumming, this is the book (with accompanying CD) for you. Jim Payne has researched the total cocnept of the artform by going back to all of the originators from the "hey day" of popular music. Clyde Stubblefield, Jabo Starks, Al Jackson are names you probably have never heard of unless you were a drummer in the day. But I'm sure you've heard of James Bown, the Four Tops, the Temptations, the Supremes, Tower of Power...and the list goes on and on. These were the men behind the music, the drum groove makers and shakers. And this book/cd lets you hear, see and feel what made that music come alive. This is a technical book, a historical reference book, and a coffee table book to put you right there with the men who created the artform of funk and soul drumming. This is a must read for any up and coming musician who desires to understand just how this genre of music is created and performed. Jim Payne recreates each of the funky beats from the originals, with accompanying manuscript included.
