He's no Lee "Scratch" Perry in that he didn't single-handedly create Hip Hop and wasn't 100 percent responsible for Bob Marley and also pretty much every development in modern music history, but that 20 minute drum solo of his was in Inna Gadda Da Vida was...long.
RIP Ron! I'm gonna smoke a fatty listen to that drum solo on repeat for 3 hours tonight in your honor.
RIP Ron!
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida influenced a ton of people for sure.
I know most just call it 20 min but it actually is 17:05 so close enough. Several solos so not just drums…the guitar riff is legendary. The keyboards are awesome. But oh yes…the drums are KILLER!!! This song is pretty much required learning for anyone- guitar, drums, bass, keyboards.
Bought this when I was about 11 back 1985. Time to give it a spin.
