    Hey,

    Here are some more:

    -"Danger Street"-Stanley Clarke (I couldn't find a youtube of it, but I sampled it for the beginning interlude of this song: "Street Theme"-Big Stacks )


    Great drum sounds for chopping and programming.

    Peace,

    Eddie Bo - Lover and a Friend



    Great break, also Little Buck "Little Boy Blue" on Seven B

    Let's just be honest here, with the possible exception of Salt...is there ANYTHING really fucking with this as far as "opening break on a 45"?

    The Victors have a version of "The Magnificent Sanctuary Marching Band" on 7" with the break.

    No handclap as per the Hathaway version but still...not bad!

    Damn, just noticed it was 45 related. Okay then, James Spencer - Take This Woman Off The Corner and Humpty Dump by The Vibrettes. Soul Man by Sweet Charles has a pretty good drum opening also.



  • BTW

    I'm gonna have to keep an eye for that one!


    I had thought that the first straight ahead open "break" with the
    kickson the 1 and double kick on the 3 and snares on the 2 and the 4 (boom-clack-ba boom boom-clack)
    was
    GOOMLW by Lee Dorsey written by Toussaint, isn't toussaint the one responsible for popularizing all of modern music basic's drum pattern?
    obviously that huey smith testifies to the fact of the rhythm coming out of NOLA first, no?
    i have a stateside 45 that says the GOOMLW it's from '65, though the one on amy came out in '66--- I have not heard any 'straight ahead breaks' prior to this

    There was a thread about this in the past. This 45 is from 1962:






    And this, although it's not the same pattern you describe above, is from 1960.











    I'm sure there's some other NOLA shit out there that predates this shit though, but this is still pretty damn early.



    B/W



    Is this THE GAFF?

    this site is claiming '59

    i haven`t checked it out in a while but I`m sure the 45 I have says `59 as well.
