James Brown records “Funky Drummer” with Clyde Stubblefield—and what happens in that session becomes the most sampled drum break of all time.
But what makes this groove so powerful? Is it the ghost notes on the snare? The subtle hi-hat openings? Or the human feel that machines still can’t replicate?
In this episode, we break down how Clyde’s feel, touch, and musical instincts created a drum part that became the foundation of hip-hop.
If you’ve ever wondered why this beat shows up in over 2,000 songs, this video reveals how one drummer changed music forever… and the heartbreaking story behind it: despite shaping the sound of modern music, Clyde Stubblefield was paid almost nothing for his contribution.
Join Ash Soan for a preview of his new course: Kick, Snare, Hat. In this video, you’ll work through the first and last lessons to get a clear idea of what the course offers. Learn how to build solid grooves using just kick, snare, and hi-hat while improving your time, feel, and consistency through simple, musical patterns. Plus, discover the approach Ash uses every day as a world-class session drummer.
