Linear Funk
One of the many, many exercises drummers often have to learn is what is known as 'Linear Drumming'. That is, only playing one sound (or limb) at a time.

I thought James Brown was the hardest working man in show business but with the number of quality tracks you are uploading his reign may be over :)

When I think of awesome linear playing, I always think of Dave Garibaldi - Tower Of Power's drummer.

If you like scorching hot jazz funk, I recommend 'Flood' by Herbie Hancock & The Headhunters. It was only released in Japan so kinda hard to find, but the playing is ridiculous! Didn't realise TOP was linear drumming, but it makes sense now :)

Thanks Alex, I'll look for it. A lot of Garibaldi's patterns have linear components to them. I really need to get onto my HH collection. I only really know the Chameleon album (I think it was called 'Headhunters'.

Funnily enough, a chat with Alex threw up that exact album and it's also on my Spotify playlist! Thanks, Bark'!
