Leon "Ndugu" Chancler
World-class drummer, producer, composer, clinician, professor and three-time Grammy Award nominee Leon "Ndugu" Chancler demonstrates his rimshot technique on his signature soft epoxy paint coated Yamaha steel snare drum. He never muffles the snare head.
See this YouTube video on how recording engineer Bruce Swedien accented Leon's bass drum "thump" on Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" www.youtube.com/watch?v=hosGI1UTPMw.
Other Michael Jackson tracks Leon played on were “Baby Be Mine,” “P.Y.T.” , “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You,” and “Bad"; all from "Thriller".
