Bernard Pretty Purdie is a legendary American session drummer celebrated for his feel and for the half-time groove known as the Purdie Shuffle. He has played behind artists including Aretha Franklin and James Brown, and his instructional performances are full of vocal cues and exclamations as he counts and plays. This short Ow clip is taken from that performance style, capturing his personality as much as his drumming. Online, editors isolate exclamations like this for reaction edits, where a famous musician reacting in rhythm lands funnier than a generic shout.
