1968 New Orleans Funk
In the winter of 1968-69, great drummer Joseph "Zigaboo" Modeliste
recorded the classic New Orleans R'n'B style tune "Cissy Strut" with
funk pioneers The Meters. Zigaboo invented the characteristic funk
groove often referred to as "the second line" style, very typical for The
Meters' groove. The Zigaboo grooves are (together with James Brown's
"Funky Drummer") among the most sampled and recycled grooves in
the history of modern Afro-American music. This exact groove is found
at complexity level 8. Enjoy! MK
1969 Songo
Songo was created in the late sixties by drummer Chanquito of the
group Los Van Van. This style has inspired many of today's jazz and
fusion drummers. Songo is one of the more modern Afro-Cuban styles
and is sometimes a drummer's first step into the world of Latin music.
MEB
* Mozambique
The Mozambique was invented in the 1960s and is one of the more
modern Latin rhythms. It's often heard on recordings with funk, jazz
and Latin bands and has been developed by several well known drum-
mers. MEB
1970 Olympic
It's funny how a drumming style without accentuated backbeats can
make a song really swing. I took the drumming from The Beatles' Get
Back and scaled it down. The result can be heard at the lower levels.
I also took the style a few steps further, the levels to the right. My
graphics designer suggested that this one could be used for gymnas-
tic exercises, hence the style name. SB
