Do any of you guys know how hard this stuff is to find? Dang.
I love Tower and Power and that type of funk, and I'm trying some conga rhythms and players in that style of music.
Anyone know of any good guys I can check out, or have any good funk rhythms that could be played along with drumset?

I recommend that you don't pay $2.99 for youtube videos when the best videos are free.
Here is a free clear and fantastic sounding video demonstrating a funk rhythm played by a pro in Europe.
CHECK this FUNK out!

Chek out my ol friend Master Henry Gibson(RIP) the percussionist for Curtis Mayfield and did the soundtrak for the movie Superfly and others...Master Henry was known within the drumming community's of the 60;s and 70.s before he moved to Europe and got married to a Dutch or German woman whom I had met years ago in Miami..Im not good with names...ask me about music..though..anyway here he is with his own style on Funky style on bongos/congas simultaneously...

JC, that last clip is great. Henry Gibson playing real tasty funk, nice patterns, nice improvisation, nice fit with the trap drummer. Nostalgia for the political and social consciouness, not to mention great singing, by Curtis Mayfield, QEPD, RIP. Thanks.
