THE DRUMS ARE COOL

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009 at 2:33pm by Kip Wingerschmidt

Sure, we all know that it’s totally shweet to play the drums really fast, but my man Bernard “Pretty” Purdie clearly proves that groove need not rush itself:

After the jump, Purdie hocks a loogi and ’splains’ a thing or two more, all whilst wearing a pink polo shirt.

Metal.
