THE DRUMS ARE COOL

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

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.

    he’s a monster, such groove. The best part of the video though is his reaction whenever he adds something new to the beat. “Oh! I like that!” hahaha

      This is why drummers have to sit down: the groove gives them too many boners.
