Clyde Stubblefield's legacy is so huge, and never talked about enough.

Here I am learning sixteenth note grooves with Nate and what do I hear? The funky drummer beat blaring through a television commercial. It's everywhere! ❤

You missed a stage: adding accents with the hi-hat foot *without* activating the open-hat sound.

Thank you for introducing me to Adam Deitch. I just watch the rest of the zildjian performance and man! What a blast 😊 I love the way you made the paradiddle funk into it’s own funky rhythm not just a variation.

Practical and concise as always. I’m sad to say that I bowed out of the coaching course in module 10. I may return but am having so much trouble with the improv! Am currently crafting my own work outs using “80/20 drummer” principles though and it’s been awesome. The course has definitely solidified my functional playing and real time awareness and put me on the right track for sure.

this is great! I played along on a practice pad and it made any flams incredibly obvious lol.

This is without doubt my all-time favourite of all your videos - so helpful and detailed. I just watched a documentary last night about Jabo Starks and Clyde Stubblefield - two in fact! - and am absolutely thrilled to get this kind of breakdown, so that I'm not reduced to just guessing and fumbling at playing this stuff. Thank you! ❤

Idk som of my thoughts on this. Maybe sbdy likes it. Idont completely agree when u say at 2:35 that what u should notice is playing clean and everything lineing up. I mean its right but when someone tries to talk about funk beats what matters the most is how the masters are feeling it. So in my opinion the secret is to notice the body moevements when they play, the godly feel is even visible when they are listening to musix and not playing just dancing to it, u can SEE their lock in the pocket. Pocket to me means nothing else than being locked up in your little dance that u do with ur shoulders and torso and that matters even more than what u doing with ur head because head can be bopping but its still not the main body, the body matters. Dancers dont dance with their head only. I see many ppl do this when they tryna be funky or even more when they tryna do „dilla” shit - movin ur head but not hips and torso and shoulders a little. the groove is stable and feels good when you feel the beat in your chest and hips first. But really how u dance or more move to music is everything in my opinion. At least its my observation from seeing ghostnote/mono/h0wdy/RBJ live

What about drags as a three stoke (triplet on the snare) with the kick? Is it still 32d? Been doing the 32d as shown, but started adding an extra note… what (if anything) is it noted as?

question for you Nate! On your Hutch interview, he said that you need to learn jazz before going to straight ahead stuff like this. But isn't this way easier? Even comping, it's gotta be easier to comp hands and feet against 16th's on the HH vs the syncopated ride and feathering and the left foot?

Hey Nate. I once heard you refer to yourself as "the other Nate Smith", and have to say I like it much more than the Evil Nate... Now, thinking about it, you should probably refer to yourself as The younger Nate Smith. Vs The wiser Nate. Anyway. Rock on!

@@8020drummer Exactly my point. You are also the good Nate Smith, only younger and therefore less wise. And anyway, if you insist on your categories you should be The bad Nate, and not The Evil one! Godspeed 🎼🎵🎶
