I caught up with Eddie Christmas yesterday between our soundchecks at the Ram’s Head Inn. Eddie is one of the greatest drummers I’ve heard from New Orleans. Here is a video where he showed me the beat to Eric Lindells “Lullaby for Mercy Ann”, a funky Eddie Christmas original beat, and then a more traditional Treme Brass Band style New Orleans beat.

This is a fascinating post by the way. I am going to go ahead and bookmark this article for my brother to check out later on tomorrow. Keep up the good quality work.
