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.

Please excuse the video quality. High quality videos are now available via the link below...

Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever.
Amen.
