Bernard Purdie Interview - Drum Lessons - How to play drums

@hinchman12 yeah, for all you know it is Solomon Burke calling him to ask if he stole his fried chicken.

An example of someone who lives music. It comes out onto the kit from there.

(...continuing from previous comment:) In response, I once put an outgoing answering message on my machine that had me in a 'Pretty Purdie' accent saying, "Hi! I'm Bernand Purdie! No one can answer the phone right now, so wait for the beep and you can record a message. Then, I'll tell everybody AYE recorded it!"

With all due respect to the person who gave him the compliment about being kind and a gentlemen, then if he is truly that, then he needs to step forward and retract his statement about replacing Ringo on Beatles records[As another poster stated Purdie NEVER replaced Ringo on any Beatles record, only a few Pete Best songs.I think if he's sincere he should also aplogize for his remarks.

This guy is a great drummer but a very confused person. Known for being a bit of a storyteller, he has been claiming that he was asked by Beatles manager Brian Epstein to come in and re-record dozens of Ringo Starr's drum parts on classic mid 60s Beatles recordings, in secret, of course. The truth is he was asked by Polydor Records to re-record the drum parts on various early 60s Tony Sheridan recordings, many of which originally had The Beatles with Pete Best on them. (Read my next comment.)

Doesn't he have a Bluetooth piece in his ear? Yet....he answers the actual phone. :O)
