Purdie isn't a drinker. Atleast not in these videos. He's just a very upbeat/positive/benevolent person that obviously has a love for drums and music.
I dont think purdie drinks. i offered to buy him a drink after a set he played at a small jazz club. he looked at me like i had three heads. i dont think hes a drinker. just naturally......er, eccentric.

I first heard Purdie talk about filling in for Ringo almost 30 years ago in his one and, until a few years ago, only MD cover story. And haven't heard about it since. I'm betting he wished he'd never uttered those few words.
Personally I feel that Bernard, Carmine, Cobham and Palmer (Carl not Earl) were ousted from the pages of MD for those cocky interviews they gave in the first three or four years of the rag. I'm finally going to let my subscription lapse even though I have a complete collection to date (29 years.) Who needs MD when you've got HOD?

A great drummer with drumming personality to spare!I love that video...set up camera in basement, get your bass player buddy to jam...press record!
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Theres another by Yogi Horton thats a lot like it - just without the bass player. Just him talking. Also great. He starts going into the specifics of body motion before getting sidetracked....I love that video...set up camera in basement, get your bass player buddy to jam...press record!
