    Love the hi-hat interplay at 5:19 and 5:50 . You can really tell they're listening to each other and their respective pockets. Conversation with rhythm.

    People have to understand how important these guys are to music history.
    No matter who you are, where you are or when you read this - you probably heard one of their beats sampled and remixed in a song you heard today.

    Clyde is so humble, he has the right to shout from the rooftops how he literally is the original funky drummer and his beats created and influenced an unmatched amount of global musical genres, especially from talentless no rhythm electronic music making two flat feet fat white boys like me....
    If I was lucky enough to ever meet this funky beat god, I would fall to my knees and crumble at the man.
    Thank you Clyde ❤

    I could listen to Clyde all day long...the greatest funky drummer that ever lived...he had a turn of phrase that was unmistakable...a drummer knows...he hears what others don't hear... therefore he plays what no one else can play... that's the trick... you see... and the truth.... right there 🙏😎

      Watch (and play with!) guys like this every chance you get. I’ve played bass for 40 years, and it can’t be overstated how important the chemistry and groove between bass and drums is.

  • @cobb_thedrummer
    @cobb_thedrummer ปีที่แล้ว +11

    It’s so interesting how they talk about “working together”. So cool how they respected how every musician in James Brown’s band had their own sound and the drummers did everything they could to glue it all together. Truly incredible. Thanks for uploading this piece of history!

  • @markr.devereux3385
    @markr.devereux3385 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    The James brown bass player THOMASan his bass tone and live presentation is quite to be envied
    He's got the funk in his
    Instrument and it makes a big difference. Look at some clips from the 80s and James BROWN could still bring it
    Again James is in control like few others. What a performer!!!!!!!

    Overlooked, under appreciated, underrated, neglected, fail to notice would all be a tragic understatement related to Clyde. I wonder if he was kept away because he was under contract or simply credited to late in his life. I mean why couldn’t he had made a switch and been playing on parliament funkadelic albums like countless others who played with James. Killer volume swell coming in John ! Dear Mr camera man next time zoom in or at least show us him playing ! I understand it’s a drum vid but goddamn. As a musician you should have known what was coming. I can’t get over the volume swell. That swell came straight from an nyc studio in 1973 PRICELESS ! EVERY SINGLE PERSON INVOLVED IN THE MAKING OF THIS. THANK YOU !

    I used to hear Jabbo at the Red Bar in Grayton Bch., Fl., many nights a week. The band would play everything from funk, to blues, to bebop, to reggae, to New Orleans second line. Jabbo would sing and play on a lot of tunes. Many nights, for the last set, he'd want a break and I'd sit in. That was a humbling experience. I learned so much from watching and hearing him play. Every night was a lesson. RIP Jabbo.

    • @tofuleg
      @tofuleg 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I had the same experience growing up and going out there to watch him play (I was in Niceville at the time). I learned a lot of groove from him. I was never lucky enough to sit in. The sax player was a nice guy, I'd sometimes chat with him about jazz after the set.

    And then the pocket more readily revealed itself.
    Best lesson IMO

  • @ricorofficial
    @ricorofficial 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Very inspirational. I have played funk, jazz, and rock since a young age, and these guys were always two of the best. Growing up listening to funk records like Herbie Hancock, The Meters, and I Feel Good, the James Brown song with Melvin Parker on the drums, not to mention Micheal Jackson, whose idol was James Brown, these guys inspire me.

He has a true gift.
