How to Play Drum & Bass like Richard Spaven (ft. Richard Spaven)

Way back when Richard Spaven, the D&B god himself, joined us in Dirk's Kreuzberg basement studio for the very first time. We filmed a great masterclass with the drumming legend 'Basement Vibes mit Richard Spaven' or to translate to English... 'Basement vibes with Richard Spaven' and they German is a tough language to learn.
Spaven goes into detail about a few modern styles (drum & bass, the Dilla feel...), plays a few solos, one of his own songs and gives a very in depth interview. We are thrilled to say that Richard has taught at our school many times, including our annual festival of drumming in Berlin the 'Berlin Drum Days'.
We hope you enjoy this short lesson and head to the website to get the full lesson with Richard 🙏

Can't get enough of this! I love the ideas, the playing and the overall pacing of the video. I've been trying to find early examples of this general family of snare-kick displacements. So far, the earliest I've found are James Brown's "Limbo Jimbo" from 1962 and "Soul Food" from 1963, the latter of which has cooler displacement, but Limbo Jimbo's middle section has a different beat where it superimposes a different type of 3 against 2. There's also Mashed Potatoes USA, which is the track from Limbo Jimbo with a different rap over the top (proto-rap I guess). Does anybody know of any earlier examples? In 63, 64, and 65, there are a lot of snare-kick displacements in Memphis - Al Jackson Jr and Howard Grimes with Stax & Hi Records - both drummers played for both labels. *What else?*
