Go-Go Music is a regional style of funk that developed in the Washington DC area. If you're not yet familiar with Go-Go make sure to check out Chuck Brown and Trouble Funk for starters. These beats are fun to play as Go-Go is very percussion heavy and it's challenging and fun to play these on the drum set. It is said that Go-Go started off with live musicians jamming on top of the bass line to Grover Washington's tune "Mr. Magic". Keep the rhythm of that bass line in mind when working these up.

#GoGoBeat #GoGoMusic #Groove
What’s crazy is people in the comments people are judging this video by the GoGo beat common today. But this is the oldest beat back when Chuck brown started playing
Facts
Oh boy! Now they are going to be saying that they created go-go music. 🤦🏽♂️
Having grown up going to Go-Go's this is the perfect introduction for people not familiar with the genre.
Pretty good a lot of drummers can’t catch the GOGO groove you held the whole percussion 🥁 line down by yourself 💯🥁
when I was in high school one of the students and I ran over to the drums, he laid down that groove effortlessly and I was in love. I couldn’t quite get the bounce being so into metal.. I sorta still do it with a twist. anyways much respect to the sources.
Lol
Not sure if you know this but when we Washingtonians play our music the drummer does not play cowbells and timbales. I’m a Go-Go veteran since 1986 and you have somewhat of the concept just loosen up and little and get you three other people to play the congas, timbales/rototoms and cowbell rack and you’ll just be touching the tip of our culture. #pause
that7dsgye first thing I said
it ain't got the go-go swing
Always gotta have "DAT POCKET BEAT"
Yea 3 folks for each instrument.
Man sorry, no disrespect intended. Do you know who this is? You’re wrong… I respect your knowledge and you’re correct about the original version of the groove; but this is a completely legit, modernized (and one man; that’s a thing now bc who can afford a 3-man percussion ensemble in their band?…) version of the a go go beat. And played very well. He doesn’t need to work on it any more than any other drummer that’s ever existed lol. But seriously, all due respect. My opinion. There’s a reason Stanton is a renowned drummer; especially known for his authentic feel in this style and second line inspired funk stuff 🤷🏼♂️
Because New Orleans are not really big on Congo players, drummers have incorporated playing some of this percussion parts while playing the beat. I get you DC people created and have your way but ain’t nothing wrong with this 🤷🏾♂️💯
This might be a New Orleans approach to Go-Go. Honestly... I've heard you doing this groove for YEARS and I never would associate it with go-go. Plus this history you gave on Go-Go was weak man... You gotta do better Stanton...
@Boyitellyouhwhat thanks
The drum culture is meant to spread out, thanks AFRIKA, thanks Haiti , Cuba, thanks New Orleans, thanks Stanton, all drummers who contributed something.
Man, he just played three different percussion parts, drums, cow, and roller toms
I’m gone slim, wtf yung😂😂😂😂
I knew this bull shit was going to happen when DC got gentrified. They stole Rock and Roll, so why wouldn’t they try to steal Go Go too?
Wtf is this bruh. There's no fucking way this nigga is giving go-go tutorials on RUclips 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Boiiiii u tried it 🤣😂🤣😂 what in the gentrified dc is going on here no bounce beat no crank
Lmaooo
Rza DaRuler lmaoo this aint no roll call ccb joint
He did try it. Doesn't sound bad. Just need a little more seasoning!
I must ask… are you referring to Stanton Moore when you say, “boiii”?
@@wolfkingt Even more swing wouldn't hurt
Glad to see people embrace our home grown music. #BassLife 🎸 #GoGoMusic #DontMuteDC #LongLiveGoGo #DC #DMV #Crankage #ILoveGoGo #GoGoBands #DCGoGo #LiveMusic #PocketsAndSockets
Thank you for sharing the DC Go-Go drum beats to those not familiar with the genre, also beginning drummers. #DONTMUTEDCGO-GO
Hi
@@behamproductions11 🙏🏼
I came here due to "Slave to the Rhythm" track for Grace Jones' track with the help of Stephen Lipson, Bruce Wooley, Trevor Horn, and session musicians at the Power Station -with Tessa Niles on BVs. Never heard the term "go-go" rhythm - you learn something new every day!
same!!!
me too!
Juju House plays the drum beat of "Slave To The Rhythm", sista Queen
Grace Jones of course.
The legendary Go - Go drummer (Ju - Ju House) of EU (Experience Unlimited played on "Slave To The Rhythm" Tha'ts why the algorhythm (see what we did there?) brought you here. You can also check him out here: ruclips.net/video/SjCvFkPSsz0/видео.html
Omg!!! Don’t make a black girl blush!!! 🔥💖❤️🔥💖❤️ Hot Damn! 🤣
Although I applaud the effort, the execution and explanation are way off. Coming from a drummer of 30 plus years in the genre.
Do you expect him to buss out some rare essance shit?
Same here Moe. It's always been kinda funny to me how the rest of the world hears go-go...
Donovan Coffin it’s really the vocabulary and feel. Go go is a very specific style of playing. Mr. magic is not go go. The evolution of gogo in the late 70s was inspired by Mr. Magic when chuck brown took that feel and put some dc sauce on it. Stanton is a great drummer, but it would be like some rich white kid from the states trying to explain Afro Cuban drumming. Yeah you might know some of the patterns but it’s not going to sound right unless you immerse yourself in the style and history of the music. It’s cool to combine the pocket/socket beats the congas would play on the drum set, if you know those specific rhythms. And they are specific, it’s not just random cool syncopated rhythms. Listen to backyard band, rare essence, chuck brown etc.
I'ma lead get a keyboard player and a bass and y'all can catch us at the CFE 😂
And don't EVER try playing this if you don't have a cowbell (or 2!) in your kit!
🙌🏼
I grew up in dc and I consider myself a percussionist and although I know better, I have never seen a white person play go-go who is clearly not aligned with the local dc culture. AND he’s knowledgeable too… I love this man.
Wow, thank you! 🙏🏼🥁🙌🏼
I'd have to agree with what you said.
I could listen to these beats all day every day….
Can you say "HIP"??? One of my favorite lessons in the SMDA for sure!! Totally obsessed with this stuff. 🥁🤩🎶
Hey drummers...Don't you think it's time to join in??? 😁
Stay out of Go-Go
Needs some seasoning
Thanks y’all, I’m glad y’all are digging this one
Staton Moore you are so wrong you don't have the to make official you must become a student of the music if you really want to know what real GOGO is there is alot history that GOGO that is available for or anybody to learn but hands is the structure of the so called GoGo that your teaching wrong and I can say this after having 30yrs of being with my band BYB wich is one of top Gogo bands period.
GO-GO beat evolved from James Brown's Cold Sweat Part II. Clyde Stubbfield's drum solo. Take a listen. Every DC Go-Go band has that same beat all night long....
@Boyitellyouhwhat this is Funny but thank you JACK ASS......
It's pretty impressive
Here you go ruclips.net/video/7UV2csp9grQ/видео.html
So great to hear this. we use to jam on car hoods all night long. of course we had our local go go flavor but we knew the source! Chuck Brown 🎉🎉🎉
🙌🏼🥁👊🏼
👏🏾 Thanks for helping to spread the word on our sound . #SakiMarki
What the gentrification??!!! Sorry sir, Go-Go is felt and you ain't feelin it. I guess now that Go-Go is finally documented as DC's official music and y'all already been trying to take the city from us it only makes sense that our music was next, smh! Thx for trying but learn the history and proper technique before attempting to teach others. #HeTriedIt #WeCantHaveNothing #DoingItAllWrong 🤦🏾♀️
JB Pride y’all already stole Rock ‘n Roll. You can’t have Go Go too. We can’t share anything with you people without y’all trying to steal it and cut us out. Don’t call me a racist for speaking the truth. Call me a student of history.
JB Pride it’s not racist, it’s called protective. You people have a history of stealing Black music and trying to control it. You’re not capable of enjoying Black culture without trying to steal it. Leave Go Go to us. Go learn how to play an accordion or something.
Nice but a tad bit to fast
Slow it down just a little
Love what your doing🤟🏽
Too good, I’m quitting drums
Don’t quit!!! 🙌🏼
I see a lot of anger towards this. It didn't feel like he was trying to groove. It sounds more like an intro to the genre. Have people understand the sounds that's being done. Like someone said, it's only brushing the surface of go-go. I like it because the world can truly emerge themselves with go-go and start listening to those that cultivated the art.
Very nice! As a DMV native that grew up on GoGo I must say you did fine!!! Keep it up
Thanks! 🙌🏼
This a 1988 pocket though, gotta find a recent one
Cool video though, glad more people accepting our music
Such a great groove and so many great variations. Thanks Stanton!
So you couldn’t find even ONE of the true go-go artists, BLACK artists, to come on, do this work and describe it authentically?! #COLONIALISM
Man so killin. No better run down of the a go go groove than this as far as I can see…. Is it me or am I seeing several people here hating on STANTON MOORE and HIS version of the. A GO GO groove?? I sure hope I’m tripping. If not, what is happening to this planet 🤦🏼♂️
Embarrassing. Ffs...
That’s a pretty good understanding and interpretation 👊🏽
Thank you 🙏🏼
Do it Stanton. My dog!!!!
This sounds awesome! Ignore the snobby haters!! Your style and multi layered playing always sounds great and I never get tired of listening to it!! Keep up the terrific work!! Thanks!!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Bro!!!!! Glad I found you! 😱😱😱
One of the best grooves
very helpful thank you!
Always great! Thank you again!!
I love that drumset!
Thanks! Great video!
Which drumheads are you using on those mini timbales?
Seeee....Y'all aint got that....
What's "The Mr. Magic" bassline??? Help! Help me, Stanton!
Music Teacher Guy Grover Washington Jr.s song Mr. Magic. It’s a funk classic! ruclips.net/video/2Jvdy6khEmA/видео.html
@@stantonmooremusic Nice you ref'd the original - before it had vocals and lyrics! 😂
@@stevehoge 🙌🏼
Hey y'all this is just old school 80's Junkyard Band/ Rare Essence Type beats. This style died out in the 90's and beyond. This ain't a real pocket. Less is more , my brotha
He's also playing all of the percussion parts himself on the drums. No conga/timbale or cowbell player. Can't expect someone whowasn't raised in it to play it the same way someone who was. He did a great job on the early go - go style.
Put nas and luda Virgo with this.
Bro........you wouldn't last 20 seconds with that B.S. you are trying to do. NEXT!!!!
Do your homework.
Now do it with buckets, pots and pans...smh
Fabulous! I wrote a song called Golden Highroad and I would like to put a Go Go beat to it !
You better go head on!!!! Whew that opening pocket!!
Its a no for me...............
Spectacular
ON POINT.
