    One of my favourite drummers of all time. Would have loved to hear if he knows anything about drum production or how they got the drum sound of the records he played on. Especially the Marvin Gaye and bill Withers stuff.

    • @Producelikeapro
      @Producelikeapro  Год назад +2

      Great question! So many of those songs would have had a very limited amount of mics, so the sound is the sound of an extremely balanced drummer!

    James Gadson!! One of my favourite drummers - understated, mean pocket - his playing is unmistakable. The work he did recently with Vulfpeck is sublime - but, I always go back to his work with Bill Withers for a masterclass in groove! Didn’t know until recently that he also played on IGY - another favourite track of mine………great to hear him speak about his career.

    • @Producelikeapro

    Ever since I saw him drumming away before turning to the camera to give a happy stoned looking smile, whilst laying down the most understated beat for Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine", on a live performance from the Old Grey Whistle Test, I've highly rated JG's funky cool groove.

    Brilliant interview Warren of a fantastic drummer. One of my absolute favourite groovemasters who like Bernard Purdie just sat in the pocket and made any song he played on feel great. Favourite James Gadson recordings for me have to be Donald Fagen ‘I.G.Y, Doyle Bramell - Your Mama Can’t Help You & Bill Withers ‘Lonely Town Lonely Street’ amongst many others.

    Class act is Mr. Gadson!
    I feel fortunate to have seen him play around town here in LA over the last 15yrs or so. Years ago there was a neighborhood restaurant/bar on melrose called the Foundry. I would go in there and see him and some other old school funk/motown guys laying down nasty bizness !!. All these years and I NEVER knew he came from the jazz world????. A couple years ago I picked up an original copy of the Watts 103rd Street Band (Together), damn good!! 😎

    I recommend watching Doyle Bramhall II - Mama Can't Help You (Music Video) on YT- with James Gadson in it released a few years ago. ..That si something else. . I'm fascinated how the camera panned to his face - what a character! Als I am realizing how many hits James was on - it explains why I always liked that type of groove...many of it came from him.

    What most touched my heart was hearing Mr. Gadson talk about the way Mr. Paul Humphrey helped him out and showed him what was up regarding styles with which he wasn’t as familiar. Everyone can use an Onesiphorus in their life (2 Timothy 1:16-18). I certainly hope to have already been/be/become that in others’ lives.

    FAQ friday question: Is it important to have more then 1 set of monitors while mixing?

    • @rarianfields
      @rarianfields Год назад +2

      Not important but certainly gives you more perspective. You're making music to be heard on a wide range of speakers and headphones, so it's good to check out your mix on multiple speakers, including really cheap ones/bluetooth/airpods/in the car as well as your studio speakers.
