Six Second Drum Solo That Changed The World!!

[MikeW]

Well, six seconds that changed the music world, anyway….

I'm creating this thread because the BBC reported on this subject today (well, yesterday now), that actually goes back to an audio documentary that was made in 2004 about a six second drum solo that was first recorded almost 40 years before that!

Here is the drum solo, and I'm sure most of you will recognize the rhythms whether you're aware of their origins or not (played regular speed, sped up and slowed down):




Now, if you're interested in learning HOW this six second drum solo changed the music world and what it *means* THAT it did, you might want to watch this 18 minute audio documentary… (which as of this moment has had almost 5 million youtube views).




N JOY!
