Funky Drummer is so sick you can pretty much add anything to it and it will sound nice.

Give the drummer some, but not the flams, theyre too spread out in the Funky Drummer sample, gotta find those single shots for the tightness, why am I posting, aw freak it people

 

[Roostermusic]

Flams? It's supertight! I didn't do anything with it. Except....well..this....and...that...and...oh right...and. Ok, almost nothing left of it. But it WAS tight.
