Garibaldi is one of those drummers that you get to know after a year or two and after I while you're like, okay I get it. And then you start checking out fusion cats and chops etc. And the after a few more years you come back to Garibaldi and then looking at him with more knowledge and you realize how deep he actually goes. Had major donny Kruger with him. Also choosing your favorite Garibaldi groove is like picking your favorite out of your kids.
My background was Steppenwolf, Hendrix, Santana Buckinghams, Chicago Transit Authority when a freind turned me on to the Back to Oakland album. I was floored! Studying Davids style and stealing licks grew me as a drummer exponentially. Hell even learning it wrong then correcting it improved my playing and chops. I get it. I didnt always get it but once you start dissecting enough of his beats you have to get in his head and think backwards to pull it off. Once you get Soul vaccinated you dont ever completely go back.
Bravo Stephen. Been a study of DG since 1973, a freind since 2007. Tower of Power is a familiar well I go to for thirst quenching and nourishment. Squib Cakes and Soul Vaccination are naturally among the top tier grooves. As a deep study I like the less obvious yet tasty paradiddle groove on Down to the night Club.The intro to Cant You See. Ending of Get Yo Feet Back on the Ground. Dont Change Horses. You Strike My Main Nerve. Still Diggin on James Brown. AND the stuff he plays on Just When We Start Making It is gold! Thanks for posting.
About Tower of Power, I love What is a Hip? , Pocketful of Soul and This Type of Funk
Great lesson and I love that snare sound !
Future Sounds was my bible in college. My band director had us do Soul Vaccination one semester. The countless hours I spent shedding that one. Garibaldi is the epitome of technique melding with feel. Thanks for putting up this video!
Killer lesson Stephen, and so cool that you’re so transparent about the process man.
Thank you Stephen for this video! I've never studied David Garibaldi (I know, I know) but that is going to change NOW. Amazing and eye-opening playing.
Thanks, Stephen!! DG is a Funk Monster for sure. Been digging him for over 50 years.
Very inspiring lesson! Thanks, Stephen.
Thanks Stephen for the video and the sheet music..... reminds me about those days when I was younger .... tower of power.....I really enjoy it late night on my Roland drums.......before I go back to work..... as a doc.....I wish you all the best.....stay healthy folks....stay at home.....protect yourself....
Great teachings! I will get in the hard work just like you clearly promissed. Thank you!
David is a great friend and also a great teacher still studying with him at this point and great video stephen love your videos!
Excellent breakdown. Thank you!
Thanks for breaking this down - my favorite all-time drummer...
Thank you so much for this instruction
Another amazing feat Stephen! I personally really appreciate that you let us know the beat is not easy, even for someone as accomplished and studied as yourself. Seriously, I can see someone just giving up on the drums all-together because they can't do a particular beat and believe if they were a good drummer, they could. Good to know!
I see you have some fancy Zildjian cymbals that say, "Sound Lab Prototype". Sound good.
Thanks so much for doing this video! Legend.
Beautiful! Thanks!
Absolutely Outstanding! It is very helpful that you identify the loopable part of the groove. Thanks for admitting that some grooves are much more difficult at 130 BPM than at 120 BPM. Now, I know that I am not the only drummer who faces this problem with some grooves. I have only learned one other Garibaldi groove. I am excited to learn three more.
Great video. The verse of Soul Vaccination is also very interesting and challenging on drums. One of my favorite beats to play.
Nice Job my brother I dig your videos!
Thanks for the lesson. While I don't play funk I was able to mess around with these and came up w really cool and (to me) rock beat that I can't wait to use in one of my bands new song ideas.
My goodness. I'm still working on Bonham and Peart (and a long way from mastering those) and then you post this! I think my approach to this one will be: "sit back and enjoy, appreciate the awesomeness of Back to Oakland, grab a glass of wine".
was just the opposite I dug in. wore the grooves out on that record studying every little nuance.Changed my entire approach to drumming. In a good way.
Awesome thanks great job.
Love it. And don't miss the last couple minutes, people! (That's where the real juice was for me. Very empowering.)
Stephen Taylorbaldi 👍🏾
Funk drumming combined with rock music, is a move most drummers should definitely give a try.
Good job Stephen! I have been grinding away at the Oakland Stroke for a few months now, trying to build myself up to do a video lesson on it and you beat me to it dude. Great lesson 👊
That beat. EXTREMELY hard to get it clean. Such a fun challenge
Stephen Taylor tell me about it! But what a banger 😉
Great breakdown. Reminds me that a lot of what I do is sub conscious. Once you start looking at it, well, it get's confusing. Much respect. I really must brush up on my script reading!
🥁🎵🎼
Stephen - u rock! Really... Wish I had your skills.... :-) Take care...
We saw Tower open for Journey a few years ago. They were just on fire. Great teaching video. These are some very complicated drum patterns (for me).
I’ve always loved his playing on “Ebony Jam”. It is so funky that it’s stupid! and I mean that in the best way possible.
King Kong of drum beats...I had to learn What Is Hip, by Tower Of Power..golf clap for Tim...salute to Stephen for given us inspiration for great funk. Also one can take Stephens ghost note mastery course! Take the course from SDS...will change your playing style forever and your band mates will really enjoy it....
Thanks-a-slot for the Crash Course, The King Kong & Foundation beats.
One of my personal favorites is Soul Vaccination
Thanks for the break down on these Dave Garibaldi beats Stephen! I love the samples you demonstrate here and are much clearer and concise to adapt to using your techniques. My top Garibaldi beats w/ TOP are Vuela Por Noche, If I Play My Cards Right, Man From The Past, Stroke 75', Clever Girl, On The Serious Side, Ebony Jam, Get Your Feet Back On The Ground, Flash In The Pan, Mahdi, Loves To Do It, Give Me Your Love, Pocket Full Of Soul, Page One, Just Enough Too Much, Life Is What You Make It, etc. etc...too many to mention as the list goes on! 😉👍🏽
"B"
Thanks Brandon! And those are some killer cuts you mentioned!
Great Video Have you ever done "Knock yourself out" garabaldi drum beat.. Could never figure it out on East Bay Grease
Though I think it's really helpful you offered that 'reality check' @14:45, I did feel a little disappointed with the brief fragment that followed. Somehow it made me expect (though you didn't promise that, literally) you would show excerpts of your own progress, including some struggle with cleanliness, while practising at 90, 100, 110, 120 BPM. Yes, like you mention, it would actually be quite helpful to see what 'error' emerges and then how you would deal with addressing that. And thanks for picking three beats I've been wanting to play for 20y, of course!
Sick kit sound. 🔫
Great stuff, my only query is with squibcakes, I thought that beat was paradiddle based in terms of the hi hat pattern? Loved the vid though :)
Let's go!
The Oakland Stroke is no joke 😳
Absolutely not. One of the toughest beats I've ever come across. And I didnt expect it to be. There's just so much going on at a high rate of speed. You get those unions even slightly sloppy and your toast.
Stephen Taylor I’ve watched all the tutorials by David and other drummers as well and just haven’t worked up the courage to even try it. Probably because I know it will be a long and grueling journey. It’s refreshing to see even someone at your level having trouble with it
Grazie x il Pdf...
This is the Definition of What A Great Drum Teacher looks like.
What is your cymbal setup..... I don’t think you have updated in description
Please please please, with a cherry on top, show us how to play Ebony Jam!
I've watched a few of these videos where you break down a complex beat like this. It's a sensible and valid way to tackle such complexity but such stroke by stroke analysis tends to obscure the overall character of the thing. Perhaps an overview of the combined hand patterns and the same for the feet might be helpful, to better convey the rhythms and coordination involved?
Good job though! I couldn't play any of those beats cleanly for more than a measure! It's like trying to grab a soapy eel in a bucket of oil.
On Oakland stroke the notation has a HH on the "and" of the second beat instead of "a". A mistake? Everyplace else is "a1" for hats.
That may be a typo...I'll check that out and get the pdf updated if so. It is an a
How do I get the sheet music?
Funk drummer? Mike Clark is my dog..... Oh yeah, the Squibster!
Hey
Does accented mean rim shot? It looks like it in the video.
Doesnt have to be a rim shot.

I might be copping out but i feel like beats that don't hit the snare and 2 and 4 make it too hard for the other players
Nice try in explaining David's techniques. It's almost impossible to be able to lay down David's Beats, without his smooth ability in musical patterns that are all relate to the horn structure, if you have not figured that out yet, you drummers he plays on a different level than you and me. I've been trying to understand and diagnosis playing his techniques since 1969, his music is so fun to play, just remember be yourself like Dave says, you can get close but that's it, keep drumming.😌
Once again the tuning of the drums is critical to reproduce the sound and feel of the artist. All top level drummers tune to their style.
as im not a drummer some things confused me a lot
Can you tell me what cymbals you re using??
K light hats (they could be 14" or 16", I'm not sure), K Sweet ride (23" I think), and two Sound Lab prototypes crashes wich seem to be some bright kind of version of K Custom or K Sweet with raw bell. They don't fit with the description, I think he doesn't update it quite often... 😋
3 is not nearly enough
My squibcakes sounds like crap.
Keep on practicing.,you'll get it down.
