  • This is my second Bernard Purdie drum cover. It's so fun to groove with the great Chuck Rainey on bass and Aretha singing her heart out. This song has the famous break in the middle 2:35 that all the drummers should know, so check it out and listen to the original track. R.I.P. Aretha Franklin
    The gear used:
    Brady Spotted Gum drums 12x8, 14x12, 16x14, 22x18
    Brady 14x5,5 Solid Jarrah snare
    Zildjian cymbals: 15" K Light HiHat, 18" K Custom Session Fast Crash, 20" K Pre-Aged Ride, 19" K Dark Thin Crash
    Heads: Toms: Remo coated Ambassador/clear ambassador, Kick: Remo Powerstoke 3, Snare: Remo coated Ambassador, bottom: Remo Ambassador Hazy
    Vic Firth 5B sticks
    Recording gear: Universal Audio Apollo Quad, Audient ASP880 Preamp, Macbook Pro, Logic X
    Microphones: kick: Shure Beta 52, Yamaha Subkick, snare top Shure Beta 57, bottom Shure SM57, Toms: Beyer Dynamic Opus 87, Overheads: Shure SM27, HiHat: AKG C430

    I've been flicking through videos of many drummers playing dance and r&b music. They often overplay or simply lose the groove. I'd rather watch you play locked into the groove. Over and over.

    What an incredible groove Mr. Purdie displays in this masterpiece, and the last bar of the middle break…perfection!!! I remember hearing this song decades ago, I loved it immediately. And then I heard THE FILL - it absolutely floored me! Great job covering and kudos to you for exposing young drummers to gems like this!

    • @KaitsuDrums

    Your simply amazing, love how you play and love the sound of your drum kit. The recording is good but would really love to hear you record it with just a pair of spaced omni's giving a realistic and natural soundstage. WIth some great mics, like a matched pair of Nueman m149's on 1/4 inch analog tape lol. Of course assuming the room has good acoustics.
