Episode 5: Clyde Stubblefield and John Jabo Starks, the Funkmasters Interview

Episode Five -- The Interview with The Original James Brown Drummers -- Clyde and Jabo
Here we are again with episode five from the Clyde and Jabo interview series we have been posting. As always, just listening to these two will clue you into facts and history that you never would have known about. This part of the interview was particularly cool, as Clyde and Jabo talk about things such as the word "funk," how it originated, and its actual meaning. This is something that we all take for granted these days, i.e. ever since you have been playing drums, there has been funk music and funk drumming. But what does it mean and where did it come from? Sit back and watch this episode and Clyde and Jabo will tell you all about it...and a whole lot more.
Thanks to Jean Paul Gaster of the mighty Clutch for his heart felt testimonial at the beginning.
Stay tuned for episode six!

What is funk ?? Just a feeling.

These formally taught are all about their paradiddles and rudiments these guys are about feel not trying to chart out a funk groove

[@LamarJennings-eo8ps]

The legends are proof that playing fast like the black gospel drummers are notorious for doing doesn't make you great
