James Brown's drummer has passed away. He was the most sampled drummer in history. So far.

I didn't know that Mojo. Thx for that info.

I met Clyde at my sister's wedding outside of Madison, WI. She was friends with Clyde, and played with him occasionally. So she asked him to play at the wedding reception! I didn't know who the drummer was beforehand, but when they kicked into a James Brown song, I was thinking "Man, this guy is REALLY good!" So during a break, a friend and I went and talked with him. That's when we found out that he was THE Clyde Stubblefield, the "funky drummer" of fame. It was like a dream come true to see him play for 4 sets. I don't know who played with Clyde that day, but they were all really fine musicians, too. I even got to jam with the band on guitar for one number. Wow! What a memory...

I have heard many many stories of people playing or being in Madison and seeing CS. Like so many great musicians, he was modest and unassuming. RIP

Give the drummer some!

R.I.P. Clyde.
