Bernard Purdie demos the 12 lug snare drum Superdrum

The complete Bernard Purdie demonstration on the 12 lug Superdrum designed by Dave BEDROCK Bedrosian at Winter Namm Jan. 2010.
includes the "Purdie Shuffle". Sorry about the abrupt ending but we got shut down by the noise police because the crowd got so large it blocked an entire aisle!

He's like the Yoda of funk/soul drumming. "Know where 1 is you must."

[@GyulaPolyak]

'Yes, I still practice... and I still have fun' - that's it! Respect!

[@joeyfrasca520]

Truly The Godfather of grove! What an inspiration this man is!!

[@just4thelolz]

This man is brilliant. Living music history.

[@Nickropolis]

Even when Bernard Purdie speaks he's got that soul groove.

[@paintednumbers4713]

Looks like fun! If people only knew who this guy is and who he's played for. A living Legend. :D

[@davegods278]

that ghost note while crosssticking cames from his fingerstap! good Lord!

[@sullman67]

Those grooves and ghost notes have more weight and depth and feel than a room full of "Chops" guys. End of story.

[@thegospell]

Pure Unmatched Rudimentary Drumming Irrefutably Executed (PURDIE)

[@Apathesis0]

Master of the ghost note.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Ahhhh.....ghost notes with the fingers during the reverse rimshots....niiiiice.....

Old school....straight stand right up between the legs. Freddy Moss did this back in the early 60's with the Twi-Lites!!

That stick would last maybe another song in my case... :) Damn it! :)

[@fattirevsbud]

Rythm is in your heart whether you're white or black but then there's douchiness or not haha

[@drumboy1956]

All those music industry types standing around and no one can operate a "boom stand"? Seriously??? And he DID NOT play on any Beatle albums....so don't even go there.

[@chowin52]

Master drummer, but maybe not master clinician. Reminds me of when I saw him a few months ago. Seemed like he had few drinks before the clinic, and was a little incoherent. I was sitting so close up front, it felt weird. He gave me this look like.....whats up with you? , but it was not a good look. It was extremely awkward. It was in CT. Just came away from that whole show like....yup. there are some self important drummers out there. hard not to be at that level I suppose.
