Groove Transcription - "Jabo" Starks, "Escape-ism (Part 1)"
I've been practicing with loops a lot lately. Soon I'll be doing a post about some great tools and tips for using loops to practice, but I figured I'd keep providing some for you in the meantime.
While listening to SiriusXM in the car the other day, this killer James Brown tune from the 1971 album Hot Pants came on. It features the drumming of the great John "Jabo" Starks. With the exception of one fill there is zero variation in the groove. Jabo holds it down for the full 3:20. Actually it's much longer, as this is just a cut from a much longer take.
