This Is The From The Cradle Drum Grooves lesson
Welcome to the From The Cradle drum grooves drum lesson. Here we break down a selection or Jim Keltner’s drum beats on the Eric Clapton album ‘From The Cradle’.
From the cradle was a blues album released by Eric Clapton in 1994 which saw him covering a collection of classic blues songs that he loved in his formative years. It delved back into very authentic blues and gave it a modern sound.
To do this Clapton assembled some of the best session musicians and choose recording stalwart Jim Keltner for drum duties.
Keltner did a perfect job of playing for the song, creating the right feel and giving each track exactly what it needed to groove.
And that’s why we are digging deep into his approach to some of the songs from this album. You’ll get full video instruction and notation for each example we look at.
