Midnight At The Oasis, Brand New Heavies - Opening Drum Fill and Main Groove Tutorial

Shoutout to Steve who asked about this, today's vid is a demo of the opening drum fill and main grove from this classic funked-up cover of the Maria Muldaur original.
It's super funky - the groove is surprisingly busy and therefore quite tricky to nail down. You'll need to have your bass drum firing for this one!
(One point to note: The notation software I used doesn't have the function to notate a drag, so have used the notation for a flam in it's place - it is definitely played as a drag though!)

This groove, including the intro, is like a protein bar packed with percussive goodness. Although not the kind of groove I tend to play in my mainly rock-oriented band it’s still exactly the groove I obsess over while practicing as played right it incorporates all the elements you need to learn to further your drumming skills. Thanks Mike! You’re awesome!
