great

Fagen, and Becker were notorious for blowing through multiple musicians, and numerous takes in the studio. And only a musician with strong confidence in his abilities to deliver the goods could stand up to their scrutiny. Fortunately, Bernard Purdie, and Chuck Rainey, among many others showed them whose boss.😊

Magnificent player

legend

There would be no Babylon Sisters and Home At Last without the Purdie Shuffle

Notice how the greatest, less insecure musicians couldn't care less about gear. A cheap kit and a Privia piano - that's all you need!

I did the twist with chubby checker and the fat boys doing the twist a duiet

Bravoooooooooooooo

Drum father to all drummers !!!

That snare is so fat, love it

I met him at the Liverpool drum festival two weeks ago... Amazing... I later in the week had a one to one drum lesson time with him at Premises Studios, Hackney.... Very kind, we did a mixture of music... Purdie shuffle, rock, blues, Bossa nova... Just fab

I met him at the uk drumshow in Liverpool. Amazing drummer and very generous with his time. A true great.

That's also Babylon sister

Dave yeah man !

A 5 star drum clinic

Bernard looking great… lost some weight✌🏻❤️🙏🏻

Is the Purdie shuffle what Bonham played on Fool in the Rain?

That's a great beat but he 100% didn't invent it haha

Excuse me while I adjust my atomic clock

I feel so honor to have met Bernard Purdie and Chuck Rainy! 2 of the greatest musicians and finest humans you'll ever meet!

What a legend, Simplicity in Perfection thank you Mr Purdie😎🥁💎🥁😎 11:42

this is the same jackass who goes around telling people he played drums on all the Beatles LP's....lmao

Purdie still does this shuffle the best. Eat your heart out John Bonham.

what happened to his left eye??

they should hire this guy to play some drums?

He still looks, sounds and plays outstanding. What a treat

Good to see Purdie still got it.

I don't have Mr. Purdie's talent, but I do have that shirt....

He REALLY embellishes everything beyond truth.

Simply awesome to hear this breakdown! I think of the experience and feel Purdie brought to the table, amazing. People bust on Steely Dan about studio vs. live but in the end they created mainstream music using rhythm and jazz with blues and rock blended in to create incredible songs that intrigue us to this day. I love hearing from these master studio musicians.

that snare is just awesome

Fantastic

Maestro of maestros.

I got to meet Purdie back in 2021. He was a hoot. Great guy.

Heard variations of that story a few times. Each time I hang on every word because it translates to some of the best songs ever produced by SD. Great to see BP still in action at 100%.

Fantastic - what a master!

Master!

Legendary. Love his method of teaching. Starts so simple. Then drops the fattest Bass beats Ever created .

Great beat. I'm 70 years old. Drummed my whole life. I play this ' Purdie Shuffle. Nearly every time I play. Home at Last, Rosanna, and the Zeppelin beat.

Bringing the funk...

man that snaaare..whant is it?

I taught this to one of my students and the following week he was at a party at her house, through a mutual friend of her father, and he played it on her drumset !

My GOD he’s still got it!

Deep feel.. all day long!!

Such a bad ass!!! Loved meeting this legend❣️❣️❣️

Looking good!!

The Great One.... Mr. "FonkeyDonkeyTime", the one and only BPurdie - The Legend. And one of my all-time Heroes! Nothing ever, but love...😎🐐👑

Macht richtig gute Laune! 😊

HOme At Last is one of my very favourite songs. The Purdie Shuffle is iconic groove and Bernard Purdie is one of the greatest musicians in history. Such a pleasure to hear this man speak. Thanks for posting this. Anyone who is serious about the art and craft of drumming must get hip to this man.
