Hey, some time ago I promised you a new book— a collection of transcribed intros— before the end of the year. Work on that got sidelined as I was preparing for tour, and there's no way I'm finishing in the time frame I wanted. But I'll get back to it now, and see if I can't slam it out by January. You may also have noticed the style of my printed music has changed slightly; I've upgraded to Finale 2014, and the default styles are a little different than my old one. I'm trying to maintain as much continuity as possible, but some of these transitional things may look a little different as I figure things out. If there's one thing I learned from
Joel Rothman, it's that continuity of style matters... you can always tell one of his books by just looking at the
style of the copy...
So, here's another drum intro, from
our man Tiki Fulwood. The tune is Good Old Music, from the first, self-titled Funkadelic record:
Yesterday we made big deal out of Fulwood
not accenting the ride pattern on his hihat; here he does do that, accenting every other 16th note, and again, it sounds great. A good way for students to practice this would be to take make a repeating groove out of each measure, and run them many times.
