DRUM COVER - The Caves of Altamira by Steely Dan

Steely Dan's Royal Scam album highlights everything that is great about Bernard Purdie's drumming. His feel of course can't be denied, but also his creative fills and approach to the construction of a song. There are little intricate things that he changes throughout the song to keep each section interesting and elevated from the previous one, such as his ghost notes and hi hat openings. His fills act like phrases in sentences that connect the dots between each section. I LOVE the fill that he plays before the last chorus coming out of the solo section. The slight pause on beat 3 is like a comma in the middle of the sentence that works so well to not only bridge both phrases but create a lift going into the chorus. This tempo made it a fun challenge to play as well. Enjoy!
