Description
SUONANDO LA BATTERIA MODERNA (MODERN DRUMS, A PRACTICAL GUIDE) Lp by TULLIO DE PISCOPO. Original Italian pressing on VEDETTE label (VPA 8179), from 1974. Infamous solo debut recording from Italy's premier funky drummer. Tullio was an indemand studio player used for key Italian Library / funk and jazz related sessions during the early '70s. He played drums for Sante Palumbo / Mirageman on the Thunder & Lightning session / Valdambrini - Piana Quintet on the Afrodite Lp / Barigozzi on the Woman's Colors Library and Vedette label owner and electronics pioneer, Armando Sciascia used certain rhythm trax from Suonando La Batteria for the Violin Reactions Library. Absolutely killer beats / drum loops and percussion sounds from freestyle funk / breakbeat / proto hip hop to punishing samba and afro cuban jazz. The Coagulation track from his debut single (released 2 years before) is given an incredible makeover into an alternative, even funkier theme called MEDIUM ROCK. This is the track DJ Shadow sampled for the Drums Of Death / Guns Blazing / Unkle feat. Kool G Rap tune. For us, the funky boom-bap / B-Boy drums of 7/4 ROCK and hypnotic hip hop of ROCKING SPECIAL are just as hot. The track ONDA NUEVA 3/4 (6/8) and SAMBA CARNIVAL are aggressive riddims the Jazzanova / Rainer Trüby / nu-bossa / contemporary samba house producers would love. Even the sleeve artwork is to die for with further trippy images inside the gatefold showing Tullio mashing up his kit. Great for DJs. Very Rare Lp!!! Full track listing: DRUM FANTASY / AFRO JAZZ / 7/4 ROCK / FAST AFRO SAMBA / MEDIUM ROCK / MODERATO SWING / DODICIOTTAVI / SAMBA CARNIVAL / ROCKING SPECIAL / AFRO CUBANO / / KRUPA SWING / CINQUEQUARTI 2/3 / ONDA NUEVA 3/4 (6/8) / SAMBA LENTO .
