Wow, this 9 piece band is amazing, and soooo groovy. Check out the opening cut. A bit of TOP influence here amongst others. Second track called 'rocco' maybe named after TOP's bass player? I wrote to them, and hopefully can get a copy of it, since it's out of stock at this place.

Oh man! This band is SLAMMIN'! Rudy, major props to you for finding this! You always find the good stuff man! This is unreal.
Innit! Yeah funkydrummer, I've just been cruising cdbaby recently checking everything out and there's always some amazing music on there. I just ordered 10 CD's from them last night, comes out so cheap, half price compared to our crazy UK prices.
Anyway, all I wanna do right now is play with a band like this. What fun that would be! Bit more practise, and then some phone calls I think, hehe.
This is a Randy ?
...if you catch this thread Randy and listen to the medley of Phat tunes, relate back to the thread on the new Pearl kit and heads.
Would you say this drum sound fits into the category of "That Funky Sound?" That is very tight snare (punchy), tight hats, thumping BD, tighter toms (10 or 12).
On the first few cuts, the snare sounds acoustic then it gets more machine-like until the last cut.
Is it possible to get that snare sound w/o all the effects Live with head & tuning combinations?
Those are good pics pocket. What kit is that? The finish on that kit is the same as my mapex snare. If anyone likes this enough to buy it, I've just ordered mine really cheap from here :

Hey, sexy chick on the cover [img]tongue.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">HELL yeah! I'm actually starting to form a band like this now. Have a bass player and guitarist all set. It's not complete by any means, but hey, it's a start! This type of music is just a blast to play. I'm very big into bands like TOP, EWF, etc., so this is right up my alley.Quote:

Hey, the trombone player emailed me back about the CD, pretty cool.
Actually, you can hear 30 secs of every track here, there just isn't a bad track on the whole CD:

Awesome, Rudy. All of these tracks are damn solid! Oh, and you were RIGHT ON about Rachelle Ferrell, man! I just got that in. Talk about nasty, NASTY groove!
Great stuff funky, I'm glad you got rachelle! I thought the drummer on that was just lil john roberts, but it's shared with someone called ricardo jordan. Yeah, enjoy it, it's a classic album, and gets better with every listen. You won't take that out of your cd player for a little while, I'm sure! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I've uploaded a video from the CD of this band playing if anyone's interested. Only 1 min:43 seconds and 25mb download. Few shots of the drummer, who also has a massive gong behind his huge kit.

You bet Fuse!!! Love all of that T.O.P., AWB, and EWF stuff.
Ditto on that. TOP is one of my favorite bands, Garibaldi being a huge influence on my playing. EWF, AWB, JB's, P-Funk, it's all great!
