Crawford13 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) I don't know if anyone had put this up here before, but it's an incredible watch. Found it today and I think I have watched it atleast 10 times already. Edited February 4, 2021 by Crawford13 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpy Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 The original has long been one of my favourites- this is great in a slightly smug music college way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Hughes Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Love it. Always worth a watch. Not the same, but this is worth watching too, IMHO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc7-aIzFSg8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I wish he'd stop playing over Bernaaard... He's just messing up the groove! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 . . . and when BP puts the shuffle together, the bassist plays everything but a shuffle!! Forget the shuffle, this is a promo for the bass player. Not necessarily a bad thing, just not the Purdy Shuffle on bass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDC484950 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Favourite quote (I think from the Steely Dan vid on YT): when BErnard set up his drums he put a sign up next to the kit. “Well done. You hired the hit maker”. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take on the video is that was exactly what he was trying to do. He wasn't trying to groove on the shuffle, he was replicating the drum shuffle on the bass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldslapper Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I thought it was a bit of fun. Thanks for sharing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't replicate vocal, keyboard, guitar or brass parts (apart from occasional and usually brief unison phrases). It's impressive, but musically pointless.

lowdown Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I just see it for what it is... Just a bit of fun and some 'choppy' messing around. He certainly put some work into it and had a good listen to Purdie's playing. I thought some of the verbal interaction was quite funny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
