For Jaw Breaks: More ultra-rare and obscure breakbeats for DJs and producers, brought to you by the people that created the world-famous Drum Crazy series.
From the vault of Boston Bob, known as the source for the crazy-rare breaks, these beats are raw and hard. Lifted directly from hard-to-find ’70s funk and soul cuts. From twelve to twenty-five breaks per record, marked by beats-per-minute, and looped into two-minute tracks, these albums are beautifully-packaged candy for all your senses. This series has been praised by even the world’s top beat miners as containing the rarest, most desirable beats around. If you’re serious about your beats, this series is for you.
For Master Drummers Vol. 2: This album marks the beginning of a tribute to the drummers of the early seventies who were the backlore of that organic, mysterious, and messy music called funk. It is a reality check, a wake up call, a protest against the stale drum machine music that seems to have been offered as a replacement to real, live, funky drumming.
All of which makes this the perfect time to go back to the creators of this music, roll tape, and make sure there is no mistaking what the funk is and where it came from. On the twelve tracks included here, master drummer Bernard “Pretty” Purdie revisits some classic moments in funk drumming and offers up some fat new funkies as well. All, of course, stamped with the indelible Purdie sound.
To let that sound come through as clear as possible, a counscious effort was made to ‘under-produce’ these tracks. No heavy effects were added, and we did not other ways ‘hype’ the mix. What you have here are a dozen raw, unadulterated drum solos. The pure, uncut funk. Offered in the hope that more people like you will step forward and help keep the funk alive.
