Happy Jack Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) Unbelievably talented? Indubitably. Worst sounding snare in history? Pretty damned close. Edited August 13, 2017 by Happy Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikel Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Yep, great groove. Bonham and Pocaro both modified, or expanded the groove, to suit songs they played, like Fool in the Rain and Rosana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I was lucky enough to be able to gatecrash a drum seminar with Mr Purdie back in the '90s at The Musicians' Institute in Wapping. (It was for the drummers, but I snuck in even though I was just a bass player). I think that he makes the shuffle look so easy because (for him) it is easy! It's his default mode, like an engine at tickover. I remember watching him trading evermore impressive licks with Tony Muschamp, till he finally cried out, "Whoa, that's too much! - I'm gonna fall back and just do a bit of shuffle for a bit", which it seemed that he could do for hours on end, whilst conversing with the audience! Everyone in the room was blown away by his playing - I'm glad that I wasn't one of the drummers, because if I was, I don't think that I would have picked up a pair of sticks ever again - after seeing someone that impossibly good, what would be the point?

leschirons Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 He IS. The man. Apparently played on more the 4000 albums and the most recorded drummer in history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassAgent Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 There is a great video by Keith Carlock about playing shuffle, and he has a pretty decent Purdie shuffle as well as a Porcaro shuffle...

lowdown Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) If was mentioned several months back (when the above video first appeared) that Bernard Purdie was wearing a T-Shirt with him on it... Priceless... (Quite the character, although it is hard to tell from the video).
