Funky Little Drummer

Just having a little fun.

BiaB style - Smooth Jazz - Hip Hop
Tempo - 95 BPM

I deleted the Strings, Guitar, and Drums
Drums - from BiaB style - Hip Hop 2 - various Steven Slate's SSD-5 drums
Bass - UVI WorkStation - preset Music M3 Long
Piano - Keys of the 70's - preset - Stage Mark 73 full
Me - Via my keyboard controller - Arturia B3
Me - Via my wind controller - Swam flute
Me - My Xaviere Pro 900 guitar through Amplitube 5

Fun tune! Your guitar solo is tastefully played and I like the tone your got out of your Xaviere and Amplitube. Wind controller!? Now that IS a lot of fun.

Nice little jam, Mario, I especially liked your guitar work, great tone and note choice. Nice!

Hi Mario,

no idea what the combination "smooth jazz - hip hop" should sound like, but your song has a fantastic groove.
Love the vibe!

Nice.
Flute and organ sound good.
Funky.
Good mix.

Sounds like you're having funky fun jamming along with yourself.

Mario,

Sounds great - love the mix.

The flute sounds awesome!

Bob

Mario, good jam! The mix sounds good. That’s a fun groove, Tom

Saw this title and immediately thought of the Godfather Of Soul. Give the funky drummer some. Good call, Mario. Excellent timing with the controller. Ooo, there's magic when you come in with the guitar. Sweet treat.

Nice arrangement again.

There are some good sounds in there, Mario.
Like B.D. Thomas though, I've no idea what the combination should sound like.
Love that flute.

Vic

Glad it leaned more toward funk than hop

That flute is very special ... an instrument we like and presented so well by you and your controller skills.

Guitar fits right in with the band and all is wrapped in a mix that sounded excellent on the monitors.

Enjoyed it.

Thanx DC Ron. I appreciate that guitar remark and yes you can get just about any tone out of Amplitube and a decent guitar. even my inexpensive guitars.

Wind controller fun? Ya maybe but they can be a lot of work also, been there - done that.

Thanx Dave for that guitar comment. It means a lot to me especially from such a pro as yourself.

Thanx so much. I do like to mess around with various genres. BiaB makes that very easy!


Thanx so much Floyd. I do love the B3 and flute sounds. My favorite players are Jimmy Smith (B3) and Herbie Mann (flute).

Thanx David to taking the time to listen and comment on this jam. I do have fun playing my instruments.


Thanx Bob. Those Swam flutes sure sound good.

Thanx so much Tom.


Thanx for much. Timing is not a big problem for me but hitting the correct notes can be! Thanx so much for that guitar comment.

Thanx so much.


I'm glad that you liked this one Vic. I didn't have any idea what that combination would sound like either until I got into it. BiaB makes exploring and/or combining genres very easy.

Thanx Janice and Bud. My controller skills sometimes leads to a lot of MIDI corrections, but I think I am getting better at playing the controller. However the teaching this old dog does take a lot of training and time

Hi Mario.

Wow! Funky indeed! It's not often that we hear that classic electronic organ sound these days. It made me feel a bit nostalgic.

I love the groove, the chord progression and the melodic improvisations. Excellent!

Thanx so much Noel, I'm glad that you liked it.

I really like that B3 sound and in fact in the late 60's I was in a trio with a drummer and a B3 player. I miss those days!

Mario,
fun loose jam. Really good sounding flute and organ. Cool drummer programming. Clean mix & sounds live. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Hey Mario...I don't know what it was but as I was listening something sounded a little 'funky'....not your normal fare BUT being eclectic seems to be part of your package...I always enjoy your creations!

Thanx Misha. I really like the B3 sound, plus it goes with any other instrument.


Thanx Dan. After playing in wedding bands for years I was exposed to many different genres, none of which I mastered.
