Classic Groove Drum Lesson - USE ME (James Gadson) Funky Drumming

A closer look at the main drum groove to the Bill Withers song Use Me. This is some fine and funky session drumming by iconic legend James Gadson. Here I break it down to the essentials and cover several different BPM levels. There are several concepts at play here - playing consecutive 16th notes with right hand, stick on rim, hi-hat chokes and overlapping the kick and left hand. A very fun groove with loads of feel! Transcript of the groove included in video.
