Description

In episode #75 we talked about some of the greatest Brazilian drummers of all time, and how they shaped the style of playing worldwide. Among the names featured are Edison Machado, Dom Um Romão, Airto Moreira, Helcio Milito, Milton Banana, Rubens Bassotti, Chico Batera, João Palma, Ronnie Mesquita, and more. We discussed how they innovated with rim clicks, cymbal sambas (samba de prato), exquisite tempos, inventive percussions, and how they revolutionized the hi-hat use, blending bossa, Afro-Samba and jazz.
