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 🙏😎
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.
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.
Man, this is so cool. I'm seriously jealous. What a great experience that must have been. :) I like his style. Wonder how his Blues and Bebob game might have been.
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.
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!!!!!!!
It's kinda sad how many people don't even know where the samples came from. And recently hip hop seems to be less sample based and more programmed beats but it wouldn't even exist without the sample based stuff that came before it or the real players that came before that. I hope someday soon that we see a return to real instruments and bands in all of the music genres that are leaning heavily towards electronic at the moment. I doubt we will because the tools to make electronic productions are just getting better and easier. They got a plug in that can make a keyboard sound like anything these days.
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!
YOU GUYS ARE LEGENDS AND HIGH RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER YOU GOT TO LOVE WHAT YOU DO IN ANYTHING IN LIFE ,AND YOU GUYS LOVE WHAT YOU DO THATS WHY YOUR THE BEST
"The 1 that's what turn you around" love it .. My man said "Ghost notes"🙂 What I had to learn as a drummer is less is more And then the pocket more readily revealed itself. Best lesson IMO
Wow this was so important to me, muchas gracias, said the Milwaukee Musician, I can't thank you enough, Applause Applause Applause Applause Clap Clap Clap Clap👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
Incredibly kind men with a ton of talent. Its never about bang and boom with them its about section playing, groove and accompaniment...TASTEFUL PLAYING
This man is so amazing! He doesn't pound drums or try to beat them into submission like you see many many drummers try to do. He plays them and extract all of these unbelievable sounds from the kit. I love hearing him talk about all of the records that he's played on and all the ways that he played the songs. He has a true gift.
It's what he says at the end in my words. Essential musical education. The more you learn the more you can enjoy and appreciate. A really nice production with a bit of everything. Notice how they don't have bad words about anyone.
I've seen a lot of drummers in my day. But never in my 53 years have I watched a pair compliment eachother so well. And break it down, and the humility?? Simply off the charts. Thank you very much for this epic demonstration of the art of playing drums. !!!
"Always on the 1" Brilliant concept! These grooves are timeless, the genius of "Soul Brother #1" James Brown and Bobby Byrd. Jabo, "I understood the importance of time, and played that way".
What two fantastic drummers, old school, I didn’t stop moving the whole time they were playing,enjoyed every minute of the video. I’ll be trying out some of their techniques but I’ll need to practice for about 50 years and I am 75 but I’ll give it a go! 😂
Clyde is my hero. One of the baddest drummer's of all time says "I don't know how to read music I don't know nothing about notes all I know is 1234" I'm sold I want to know what kind of drums cymbols he played everything.
Thank you for this education on the drum side of life the drummers here that worked for James brown are magical and so real to keep the traditional sounds and kind hearted people you guys are the bomb I'm saying no computer or fake recording can you cats 🤞 so cool
All I can say is awwww yeah....
Ain't it funky?

Amazing drumming. Well and of course the 44 people who disliked it who cannot feel their own pulse. Hahahaha

This is some chit, the funky drummers!!!! Yassssss
James Brown the King of the Groove !
This is Pure Gold! "We Gone With Ourselves"... Clyde Subblefields.
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!!!!!!!

THIS PROOF GODS FAVORITE PLACE IS WITHIN THE MUSIC!!![999]
Band rehearsal this week will be us watching this video together.
When they both are playing together it sounds like west african dance music or some afro-cuban percussion ensemble.
Boy I really enjoyed that!!!!
TRULY THE ART OF NOISE!!![999]
Somehow couldn't stop watching this!
That's where all the hip-hop groves come from .
It's kinda sad how many people don't even know where the samples came from.

Simply off the charts. Thank you very much for this epic demonstration of the art of playing drums. !!!
C ok I. I
Very much so. But the word is complement. This word means that two different things are put together to complete something.

Hi @tiago sclauzero what about “Mobile Gumbo” @46:56????
real nice, guys!
I believe they are the most sampled drummers in music history
They may be but the “Amen Break” is supposed to be the most sampled groove. Something I found out a while ago. Luckily also a funky beat!
"Always on the 1" Brilliant concept! These grooves are timeless, the genius of "Soul Brother #1" James Brown and Bobby Byrd. Jabo, "I understood the importance of time, and played that way".
humble legends, magic
great drummers and great musicians great video thank you for making this video very humble guys enjoyed it awesome
The best drums I’ve ever heard till this day is Jabo on Papa don’t take no mess! The first hip hop groove.
This is "GIVE THE DRUMMER SOME, then you got Fred on it too.
Clyde’s feel sounds so cool every time 🔥🔥🔥
Bring back the damn funk. The music today is wack somebody help it wtf shit
~ Fantastic !! Love his laughs too 💜💜💜 :)
Thank you.
What two fantastic drummers, old school, I didn’t stop moving the whole time they were playing,enjoyed every minute of the video. I’ll be trying out some of their techniques but I’ll need to practice for about 50 years and I am 75 but I’ll give it a go! 😂
Best of luck! So glad to hear you are still playing at your age! I hope you never stop.
AUTHENTIC
Tell it now, Fred!!!
Amazing!!
"Those who have ears, hear. Those who don't get funked up."
THATS A LESSON of how tight 2 Drummers can Play together If THEY CAN !! Great example for all drumset teachers. Greetings from Andy M.
Amazing concert thank you
Incredible soul and feel brings so much depth to it.
Clyde is my hero. One of the baddest drummer's of all time says "I don't know how to read music I don't know nothing about notes all I know is 1234" I'm sold I want to know what kind of drums cymbols he played everything.
