This first funk drumming play-a-long is a slow funk song. It's fairly repetitive with minor changes throughout. You'll notice that there are really just two main patterns that get repeated. Don't worry about getting bored though. The great thing about these play-a-longs is that you can listen to the band play and just sit back and enjoy the groove that you are creating. Playing in a real song setting never feels like just playing an exercise no matter how repetitive the beat is.
