Here's a clip of me playing a 6 / 8 groove I came up with recently. It was inspired by Omar Hakim and Carter Beauford.

Omar is great at making 6 /8 sound so "odd" sometimes for an even time signature. I also love the way Carter Beauford plays so busily but his tasteful use of dynamics and grace notes make it work for the music.

I thought I would add an audio clip of my band - New Groove Formation playing our song "Love Is Funky" over the end credits.

The kit I'm playing has sadly seen better days. Its the practice/teaching kit at work and its in dire need of some new skins. The toms are particularly bad at the moment. But hey, a bad workman blames his tools.
