VIDEO - In the Studio: Seeing Sounds, Part 3: Funk buff.ly/14ivV4N Funk drumming is synonymous with masters like James Browns Clyde Stubblefield, Tower of Powers David Garibaldi, P-Funks Tiki Fulwood, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers Chad Smith. Although these four gentlemen have very different approaches to timekeeping, each has contributed to the funk art form in a unique way and created classic drum tracks. Their sounds are diverse, including everything from midrange tunings to ultra-muffled, pillowy tones and stadium-rock hybrids. Definitive funk sounds like those, which were exploring here, are built from the concepts we discussed in the previous two articles (June and July 2013 issues), so be sure to reference the earlier installments as you go along. Ill present key differences and tonal modifications that will allow you to play and record most styles of funk. Original post: buff.ly/14ivV4R
