that's a drum loop right?
so hate get all timmydigalot on the strut but is this the first instance of a "funky" drum loop on a record? what other early examples can be pointed to?

Wow...didn't know until just now that Marvin played a fuck load of the instruments on Trouble man...including the drums.
I think his drumming experience is likely one of the reasons his lyrical cadence is so good.
TREVOR LAWRENCE: "Yeah that's - Yes. And if you listen to it closely now, what you'll notice is that it's a loop. The drum - the drum is a drum loop. Now back in '72 there were no samplers. What they did was they took a piece of tape and they had the two track tape machine, and they made that pattern that made a loop like a figure eight around the tip - rim, which I'd never seen before."
or is this a known fact and i??m trippin???
This quote suggests it was a well know, and perhaps not uncommon, production technique by '79.
