I very much enjoyed this and your Amen break video - I'd be fascinated in a 'Think' break recreation - that is, Lyn Collins - Think (About It), also played by John Starks, produced by James Brown. There are several famous sections - the 'yeah woo' / the 'haa -huu' / the 'keep at it' - but the drumming is consistent throughout and the snare sound is particularly distinctive! Thank you

You ain't getting much closer than that, right there 👌🏾🏆

Funk is all about feel and time keeping.

Your recreation baffles the hell out of me reading the comments below. I believe an age factor is in play. I'm 70 years old a Jazz R&B Soul Funk Drummer for over 55 years and Back when Stubberfield and Starks Played for the great James Brown Drums were let's say all Standard with 14 x 20 or 22 and mostly use '20s with internal felt strips were used and a moleskin patch on the bass drum batter head unless you played Gretsch which most came with a Jimmy Pratt adjustable inner Muffle felt strip and all heads were REMO Ambassador Heads even the Reso Side was Coated Ambassadors The snare drums were mostly Ludwig Superphonic 400 or Acrolites for a drier sound. I could get Deeper with their Vox drums but in recording or Live they used Ludwigs which were either Mahogany with Maple ReRings or Maple Drums with rerings, Pedals were Ludwig Speed Kings or a Camco free floater Some use Rogers Swivel Matic the Beater was always Hard Felt or Wood. So these drums are still available why use an OAK BD and Micing off the charts? Back in the day Eletro Voice or Shure were used I know I've done many many Recordings for Jazz and Soul Groups in the 60s we used this set up it changed drastically up thru the 90s even 2000 on.

Great job! I'm going to try to copy this, too, using your techniques. As for other sounds to recreate, I would request something from Stewart Copeland. The sounds that drew me to drums in the first place are the sounds on _Zenyatta Mondatta_ (especially the snare and cymbals/hi-hat on "Driven to Tears"), but I think "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" or "One World (Not Three)" off _Ghost in the Machine_ would be good, too.

The over head view shows typical drummers planted with their feet at an angle while sitting behind the bass drum. Try sitting with your feet both planted in a straight line not 45 degree off. Makes going around to the floor toms & cymbals smoother and easier.

Nice work young man praising a legend 40 or more years before your birth.

Very nice.

Question: When the two drummers were playing together, did they play the exact same notes? Or did they split the groove up and each play part of it? (either way ... a testament to their extreme proficiency).

If you find the time, there are some videos available online of a few James Brown concerts from the late 60s and early 70s. You'll note his drummers rarely played simultaneously. If Jabo Starks played a tune, Clyde would lay out or shake a tambourine. Then a tune or two later, they'd switch.

Quality. Thankyoy

You have the tone pretty much spot on. You would probably have to be in the same drum room with the same plate reverbs, console, and tape machine to get any closer. Your performance ain't bad either tho Clyde only did the ghost drum roll on the 4th bar and his timing is unmatched. You did a great job, hard to completely match Clyde tho.

Probably a stretch to ask, but you should release drum sample packs. I’d love to have some of these drums at different volumes and with the whole kit.
