  Clyde Stubblefield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clyde Stubblefield is a drummer best known for his work with James Brown.
He may be the most widely sampled (yet uncompensated) musician in the world - his groove on James Brown's "Funky Drummer" is believed to be the world's most sampled record.
In 1995 he played on the self-titled album by the rock band Garbage, led by fellow Madison resident Butch Vig.

 Funky drummer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "funky drummer" break is one of the most used sampled drum loops in hip-hop and drum and bass music, together with the Amen break, which is more related to drum-and-bass.
The original song from which the break is sampled is James Brown's song "Funky Drummer" (recorded November 20, 1969 in Cincinnati, Ohio).
The drums on the original song are played by Clyde Stubblefield, who was the drummer for Brown's band at that time.

The funky drummer sets the pace of life in New Orleans-a slightly swung swagger resulting from an unforeseen cultural fusion.
His pre-funk era idols are r&b innovators Idris Muhammad and Earl Palmer, drummers who brought the New Orleans feel to the forefront of the national jazz scene in the '50s and '60s.
Muhammad, the drummer on the original "Mardi Gras Mambo" by Art Neville and the Hawkettes, was the first- call session drummer for the funkier '60s Blue Note albums by players like Lou Donaldson and Grant Green.

 Artist - Clyde Stubblefield
Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 1943, the future world-famous Funky Drummer got started by hitting everything in sight with whatever was at hand.
Because Clyde was the drummer featured on James Brown "Funky Drummer" and his drums were recorded in the clear, those drummers did more than envy him.
Although he was named Rolling Stone's "Drummer of the Year" in 1990 and, in 1995, a pair of his drum sticks were enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but Clyde remains a modest, happy-go-lucky kind of guy.

Some of these original funk breaks, like the "Amen Break" from the Winston's Amen Brother, "Funky Drummer" break from James Brown's song of the same title, or the "Apache Break" from the Incredible Bongo Band track, are so familiar as to have become iconic.
According to the sample faq (and other reputable sources), the Funky Drummer break is the most sampled, and probably most familiar of all the classic breaks.
The unique symbiotic relationship between "funky breaks" and dancing is a critical feature that distinguishes their function in hip hop, funk, rock, blues and jazz from their function in other forms of music.

The "Master Drummers" series is a tribute to the drummers of the early seventies who were the backbone of that organic, mysterious, and messy music called funk.

That was George Clinton's advice to the already funked as well as the potentially funky back in the early '70s, when bass lines first became phat and everyone wanted to emphasize the "one" like James Brown's "Funky Drummer," Clyde Stubblefield.
