bernard purdie – as long as you grooooove!

The first legendary and highly influental drummer i ever heard of! Bernard "Pretty" Purdie played the drums on over 4000 albums for artists like gil scott-heron, james brown, aretha franklin or miles davis. he has a very personal and highly developped style with an incredible and hard-to-copy timing, and he's the inventor of The Purdie Shuffle (video below).
yes, he's a funny guy who likes to laugh a lot!
