Let me know you guys... What are YOUR favorite James Brown grooves?! You can get the transcription of this lesson on my Patreon page patreon.com/JeffRandallDrumming and book a lesson with me on my website JeffRandallDrumming.com.
Really dig your hi hat sound. Is there a 15" set up or a set of cymbals that would get me close to the sounds your getting? Cheers!
@@hvysouldg The 15's aren't going to be as "thick" sounding as those 17's but a dark/thin pair of Zildjian Constantinoples would get you going in the right direction!
Funky President
Talking Loud and Saying Nothing
Since you've been gone or hot pants
Used to go hear Clyde play with his weekly blues and soul gig locally in the decade before he passed. He was a treasure & didn’t have star attitude. RIP Clyde.
wow I am v jealous of your weekly gigs ! Yep he was in the very top tier in my book
Dam dam dam Clyde and Jabbo style is my fav as is J Dilla's
Clyde and Jabo taught me all about "tipping" the hi hat. Coming from a rock background, i was used to shouldering the hats to get a more aggressive sound, which was great, but I found Jabo and Clyde taught me how to stay in control of my hi hat work by keeping them soft. I.e "tippin'"
this so much
one of the best youtube drums educator on these day, he deserve more like and subscriber.
Thanks bud! Means a lot.
Damn! You are one of the very few drummers that can accurately play those drum patterns. I was especially blown away when you played “Funky Drummer” and “Give It Up, Turn It Loose”. 💯
Wow, this the best Funky Drummer cover I've ever heard. And the recording sounds amazing, warm, dry and punchy
Bonjour, my name is Eric. I, m from France near Paris. I, m 57 year, s old. I want to thank you for this Lesson.... Thanks, you make Lear.n this fantastic Drum.... And I m very very happy...... Merci beaucoup............ Éric Menu
You’re very welcome Eric!
Great stuff, as always! I'm really excited about that little "trick" for the funky drummer! Makes it so much more accessible all at once!! Thank you so much!
I keep coming back to these videos and trying to add these grooves to my arsenal. Can't thank you enough for this diverse and sharp content. You and Rob Brown are my favorite teachers. Quarantine is a breeze thanks to you guys.
Amazing drummer. You continually inspire me. Thank you.
Great video! Thanks!!
Good work Mr. Randall. Integrity is everything.. inspiration is essential! cw
Awesome video.
Great video, awesome feel on the drums.
Fantastic!
Excellent review and amazingly executed! You most definitely got the “soul” my friend! Lastly, you nailed the “Funky Drummer” beat at the end. I must say, clever technique for easing up on the wrist and forearm because of those continued 16th notes. Keep it up the great work!
you are great, many thanks!!!
Amazing snare sound.
Sick video!
Holy crap ... had to come back again Jeff ... just watching you feel the joy of playing is infectious. I'm not that accomplished, I just play for fun, but I do try to learn beats that are out of my comfort zone ... slowly ... and so I enjoy watching players and breaking down what is being played. I'm slowly learning Tom Sawyer and also the Rosanna Groove at present. Just really enjoy watching you on the kit ... cheers!
What a great video. I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you very much!
Dude! That was awesome! Thanks for sharing. I have so much to learn.
You’re very welcome Francisco, thanks for watching bud!
Man, these are deceptively tricky to pull off! They all sound awesome though, worth the effort. Great video Jeff!
Amazing grooves !! Those drums sounds awesome !!
Thanks for watchin' bud!
Nice Drum Work
A million thanks for this tutorial ! :) The funky drummer hi-hat secret you revealed finally unlocked a decades old mystery in my own playing :D
Really enjoy your content, Jeff. It's refreshing to watch you play and teach in a space that feels so inundated with flashy, over the top chops. You share practical skills that we can all learn from. I admire your work!
Means a lot Andrew, thanks man.
Thank you!!!! Awesome video. I was just noodling around on my TD25 and I wanted to recall some of the grooves my teacher showed me years ago. This is PERFECT ... plus you have notation ... thanks so much Jeff!
You’re very welcome! Have fun.
You’re the man Jeff!
Man! I’m a casual drummer at best, and your video lessons are SWWEEEETTTTT! Thank you so much!
So good Jeff!😎

You really have those drums sounding awesome dude!. Great video by the way 😉
Thank you sir!!
This was awesome.
I would like to see content, tips and tricks about Motown Grooves from you.
Your videos are great for someone like me who does not play drums but produce songs.
Thank you.
Great Job Jeff!
Thanks!
Love love funk
Your kit sounds great!!
Thanks Frank!
It's definitely ggos to study these classic James and JB beats because they are everywhere to this day and they shaped music a lot.
Jeff, love your style and sound. You always look so comfortable, which is a goal I'd like to achieve when playing.
Thanks for that Angela! And thanks for watching.
Great video Jeff!!
Thanks Danilo!
Jeff Randall any advice on how to improve the right feel for the song ? Specially the time placement of the snare drum
Glad I found this channel.. absolutely YAAAAAAAAAAS!!!! :D how does one choose.. impossible! XD
wooow ...you helped an ooolde Hobby-Drummer from Hannover ...Northern Germany ssssssoooo much ...THANK YOU DEAR JEFF .....
drums sounding good!!!
Thanks as always Julian!
I really like your style and your drum kit sounds awesome!
Thanks very much!
Jeff great hands and feet. That was really fun to watch. Made me dig out my old cold sweat transcription.
Well done, I really like your version of Funky Drummer.
Really dig your rendition of Funky Drummer. I feel like the quick switches to eighth notes add to the groovy-ness and swagger. 🤙 P.S. feel you on Give it up or turn it a loose as my favorite of the bunch
DANG that snare is unreal sounding!!
Dude that snare is the jam! I love those 13x6.5” drums for tighter tuning...
Dude, how do you get such an amazing snare sound
Nicely done and your drum sounds are fat and true. Love it. 👌
this is exactly what i need now!
Yes! DO WORK dude.
Cool 😎
Man that second section of the super bad groove sounds sooooo good, could keep that on repeat all day! Do not know how you get your right hand so accurate with those groups of 3 while getting the snare part crispy too 😥 I had to really think about what my right hand was doing with that! Did not feel natural at all 😂
Keep doing what you’re doing my man! Really enjoy your videos. Love from Sheffield, England!
Practice “throwing the stick” so that its dribbling off the cymbal…if the stick is doing the work for you then you can focus more on cracking the snare 🫡
Cleannnnn as hel! You deserve tons of subs and likes. Hope you get those soon!
Thanks bud! We’re getting there.
Your pocket is hard to beat Jeff! So sick
Smooth and nasty. Great work man!
Thanks Solomon!
All these drum breaks influenced hiphop for years. Especially funky drummer
Hell yes
If I'm able to play that intro as good and as energetic as you, well damn, I WOULD LITERALLY never stop playing.
Haha, dude you can definitely get there!
@@JeffRandallDrumming With your videos I'm definitely on the right track. Thanks for all of these!
well done! subscribed!
Welcome to the channel Marco!
You’re welcome on my channel too!!!
TOP GROOVE
Hey Jeff, Prayers for Nashville and the entire planet. Great work, this video is amazing!! I was interested in your Hi-hats as they sound perfect for groove based music, when I hit the Hi-hat links they showed up as crash cymbals.
Thanks for your prayers! The hi-hats are indeed crash cymbals. :)
Awesome grooves! Can you do a video on funky fills as those are the things I struggle the most with? For example breaking down the fills you played in this video, they were pretty great!
Love that idea! I’ll put in on this list. :)
@@JeffRandallDrumming Thanks man! Looking forward to it!
Very happy to have recently discovered this channel. What are some tips your would have for someone trying to improve on sight reading since thats a key component on getting gigs ( as far as im aware)
Dude
You sound incredible
Thanks Mike!
I GOT THE FEELING !!!!!
I’m working on Mother Popcorn it’s a killer. That’s a good version of that groove but I find the beginning of that song even more challenging because the hats are unrelenting ! Hard to keep these grooves nice and light. Thanks for the vid
Here are a few - There it is - Pts.1 & 2, Give it up or turnit a loose (Nate Smith drums studio rec:), Soul Power (Original version 1971), Talking loud saying nothing, The Payback, Give it up or turnit a loose( Live from Augusta GA 1969)
Man, look at those hands... Pretty boss
Get Up Get Into It Get Involved is the groove Chad Sexton applied on Use of Time w/ 311.
I've had this playlist on my device for many years now. Here we go.
James Brown's 10 Funkiest Jams:
10. Make It Funky
9. Good Foot
8. Sex Machine
7. I Don't Want Nobody
6. Say It Loud
5. Cold Sweat
4. I Got The Feelin
3. Can't Stand Myself
2. There Was A Time
1. Mother Popcorn
I appreciate your admiration for the Godfather. And you're vicious on the skins, bro. Double or triple up on the foot and you'll be outrageous!
Great list dude!
@@JeffRandallDrumming Thank you. That's an quite an honor, coming from a connoisseur and student of such master percussionists. I listened to each of your renditions, prior to your introduction of the title and could IMMEDIATELY recognize each song. That says alot. You're amazing! A master in your own right. Keep up the great work.
@@JeffRandallDrumming I'm sure you've already heard this but I consider it the funkiest drum solo of all of James' songs, as performed by William Bowman. It's in Part 2 of the song 'I Can't Stand Myself', staring at the 4:35 mark. If you haven't heard it, it's a real treat:

2:22 loooove that beat
Okay 6:42 was next level xD
I feel I need to drink some Jack D watching this great vid....cool man
For me the last very good !!!!!
Jeff, another great video! I hope you are planning a video for the top 10 Zig drumbeats. If not, please consider =] I see a lot of the same concepts that would carry over. Cheers!
It’s in the works Brian!
@@JeffRandallDrumming SWEET!! Maybe I'm getting greedy, but how about Levon Helm?
Great vid...surprised mother popcorn wasn't on there
Thanks Rich! I had “Mother Popcorn” on there originally but couldn’t get it quite right. Maybe we can do a ‘part 2’ at some point. There were so many I wanted to do but it would have made the video super long.
What r u doing at 0:23 🤯 Sounds so good man!
Can you make a video on the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 how to use it pls lol.. your drums sounds awesome btw 🤙
You’re a great drummer bro
Thanks man, and thanks for watching.
If you have time, can you dig in Mike Clark stuff, it could be very nice, I think. I love the thrust album with herbie H. Big up from France
What kind of snare is omq love that crack
F-U-N-K-Y....,great job
Listen...if I've EVER heard a crispier snare I can't remember. Man
Bro i wanna learn the Groove from the beginning so bad
🙏🏼🙏🏼
