How to Play Zigaboo Modeliste's Groove on Robert Palmer's Sailing Shoes | Drum Grooves

Learn to play Zigaboo's funky groove on Robert Palmer's Sailing Shoes off the album Sneaking Sally Through The Alley. Zigaboo brings his famous New Orleans funk thing, it's a style every drummer should learn. This one is a bit obscure but this is a great record worth checking out. It's half Zig, half Purdie and one song is one of the first ever recordings with a drum machine. Here's a PDF with a transcription of a bit of what Zigaboo plays on the intro, verse and chorus of the song: https://joethedrummer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Sailing_Shoes_-_Robert_Palmer.pdf Here's Stanton Moore explaining Cissy Strut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XhyMlOSDGs 00:00 Introduction 01:07 Demonstration of the groove 01:33 Playing the main pattern 03:20 A bit about Cissy Strut 04:55 Back to Sailing Shoes 09:09 Outro If you'd like some help with your drumming, I offer one-to-one lessons online via Zoom or Skype.
