Minute of Drums - Episode 11: Prince Groove

No one makes a funky drum machine groove like Prince. His music is on constantly in my house, and I’m a bit obsessed with “The Ballad of Dorothy Parker” from the Sign o’ the Times album. (In the song he orders a fruit cocktail and takes not one, but two bubble baths with his pants on… what more could you want?!) The drum machine groove on this song has several rhythms layered on top of one another, making it particularly challenging to pull off single handedly. Good luck!
