New Orleans Funk Beats Meditation

I built my new drum studio in one week (Yikes 🤪) and this New Orleans Funk beats video is my first recording in my new home. Keeping things easy, spacious and focusing on feel sends me into drumming meditation. Maybe it will put you into a trance too! Keep swinging my friend 🤙

Nice studio upgrade and nice grooves! It’s obvious. You hear musically. And… you’re having Fun! Well done!

Thanks John! I'm fixin' to make a video about it soon. It is nice to finally have a space I can play most any time of day without bothering anyone else. Do you have a home studio?

Fantastic Grove! Would be interested to hear what you use for your mic setup.

Marvelous! Believe it or not, my digging into Gadd's (and Porcaro's) drumming on Leo Sayer's You Make Me Feel Like Dancing eventually led me to here. I was looking up N'awlins grooves since Gadd's drumming on that track is indicative of that (imo) with his relaxed feel, deep groove and tasty technique. Anyway, in my perusing, this came up. Glad it did!! :-) Deep and so very tasty! Lovely tones from drums and cymbals as well.
