Matinee Idol by Yellowjackets - Drum Cover and Transcription

"Matinee Idol" is a Funky Jazz Fusion piece by the Yellowjackets from their debut album Yellowjackets released in 1981. This album features the late Ricky Lawson who passed away in 2013. There's some slick hi-hat work on this track and the groove is so up-lifting. I hope you enjoy it.
