Drum machines have always and will always sanitize the swing . Perfect time isn't groove , and real drummers play with real dynamics and tempo changes based on the vibe which machines can never really do . When Derrick says it's about the feel , that's the point a machine can't and never will feel .
Show this man some love!! Thank you Derek.
Derrick you are a groove master, you've made me dance my ass off for years!!! Bless your feel and your willingness to tune to that and lay it down.
He has been an inspiration to so many all these years! We loved having him here in the studio and hearing him play some classic Jamiroquai tunes! 🥁
I’ve been listening to derricks drums on that song ‘Just another story’. He absolutely drives that song!
I use to love listening to Jamiroquai as I fell asleep, and listening specifically to Derrick's drumming.
Really good lesson many thanks
Groove master and fellow lefty drummer!
Ah I didn’t realise woohoo!!:))
Derrick is a pocket beast. No need for drum machines when he plays on a track.
Truth!

Man, I really love the body expression!
Such a powerful player! 🙌
Maestro!
Another fine example of Jamiroquai's great musicians. And a lefty, too. (Not many of us about!)
Love it!
Derek! Is that a phx? No recording custom?....u sound amazing no matter what.
Sehr coole Erläuterungen 😀👍👍

well I wish I had learned THAT way of NOT doing it... one of my definite favourite drummers of all time.
