The
killing rhythm guitar samples on the demos come from Time &
Space's enduring classic "Funk Guitar" sample library, which was
produced and performed by Vlad Naslas.
The
Vinyl samples appear here under special permission, courtesy of
the David Ruffy Drums collection from AMG.
John
Ferraro uses DW drums, Rhythm Tech percussion, Zildjian Cymbals,
Vic Firth sticks & Evans heads.
Gregg
Bissonette uses Mapex drums, Zildjian Cymbals, Vic Firth sticks
& Remo heads, DW double pedals.
Bob
Wilson uses Peavey drums, Evans drum heads, and he prefers to use
sticks whenever possible.
If
you're interested in the rich history and background of Funk Drumming,
we highly recommend the outstanding book "The Commandments of R&B
Drumming" by Zoro from Warner Bros. Publications
"The Lord is righteous in all his
ways, and kind in all his deeds. The Lord is near to all who call
upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth." -Psalm 145:17
