Jabó and Clyde are the most sampled drummers in the world. They performed and recorded with James Brown during the mid sixties to the early seventies. They recorded such hits as Sex Machine, Super Bad, Mother Popcorn and Cold Sweat.
Prior to performing with Brown Jabó was with Bobby "Blue" Bland for several years. After Brown he recorded and performed with B. B. King for about six years.
Clyde is best known as the ORIGINAL FUNKY DRUMMER. His recording history includes Otis Redding and Prince. This is only the tip of the iceberg. He was 1990 Rolling Stone Magazine's Drummer of the Year. Modern Drummer deemed him as the Godfather of Funk. Clyde was the 2000 inductee into the WAMI in Wisconsin.
Jabó and Clyde were featured on the covers of Modern Drummer and Stick It magazines. Their drum sticks are enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Together they are known as the Funkmasters llp and have recorded their CD, FIND THE GROOVE, which was released in January 2001. They also have an instructional video, SOUL OF THE FUNKY DRUMMERS.
