Description

ISO funky DRUMMER who can swing the pocket (albany / el cerrito) Okay- I’m gonna try something different. I’m gonna pick out some songs that have rhythmic themes I would like to foster in our music I Got The Feelin’ - James Brown So Tough - The Slits When Big Joan Sets Up - Captain Beefheart Cassava Piece - Augustus Pablo Revolution Rock - The Clash Swinging Man - Black Flag Look Ka Py Py - The Meters Is It Because I’m Black - Syl Johnson Walk On By - Isaac Hayes Love Hangover - Diana Ross What So Never The Dance - House Guests Never Never Gonna Give You Up Long Hot Summer Night -Jimi Hendrix Experience We Are All Prostitutes - The Pop Group The Cissy’s Thing - Soul Seven Express Yourself - Charles Wright Root Down & Get It - Jimmy Smith The Bird - Wave Jimmy Mc Griff K-Jee - MFSB The Basement -The Isley Brothers Khruangbin • Sharon Jones /Dap Kings• Curtis Mayfield on Superfly • Tower Of Power •Sly & The Family Stone • Ohio Players Pretty much any Medeski Martin Wood The entirety of the first Vanilla Fudge album The instrumental breaks on Beastie Boys’ CHECK YOUR HEAD, like “ Namaste” We are doing STRICTLY ORIGINAL MATERIAL. I know there are some influences that obviously aren’t soul. Many of them are bizarre outsider, Punk or reggae.yes, this is part of the recipe. I’ve had a lot of people get thrown and come in thinking they can ignore all the prominent style markers and just going for the rock stuff. I’m actually trying to bend sound and please understand that in this particular case, it’s very much about soul. This is not for any drummer. If this were the case I’d have my drummer and be done here. This is for the drummer who went and picked out some of the songs in the list above and honestly says to his or herself, “I can do that…” maybe you were picturing yourself playing and sliding in some improvisational razzamatazz of your own. You. That is who we are calling to. Rise to the occasion. We offer our hands
