Five Iconic Beats. A Lifetime of Groove.
Funk is rhythmic, grooving music designed to make people dance. In this course, Stanton breaks down five of his favorite funk beats—each representing a different approach to the style:
- “Cold Sweat” – James Brown, with Clyde Stubblefield on drums
- “Soul Power” – James Brown, with Jabo Starks on drums
- “Funky Drummer” – James Brown, with Clyde Stubblefield on drums
- “Chameleon” – Herbie Hancock, with Harvey Mason on drums
- “Cissy Strut” – The Meters, with Joseph “Zigaboo” Modeliste on drums
These grooves are frequently referenced at gigs, jam sessions, recording sessions, and while writing new material. Learn to play these five beats convincingly, and you’ll have a strong foundation for handling just about any funk that comes your way.
