My fave fill right now (one for the groovey minimalists)

Can hear Steve Jordan 'paying tribute' to this one. The groove that's happening right after the fill is what caught my attention.
 
I love how he tells us to "Get ready for it!" Those words are the best part of the fill.
 
The dynamics make the fill though, the steady increase in dynamic.
What do you reckon - sounds like 3 rimshots in there to me on the 3+, 4, 4+

I love how he tells us to "Get ready for it!" Those words are the best part of the fill.
It's "Are you ready, Byrd?", said to Bobby Byrd, but yeah, I find listening to those late 60s/early 70s JB tracks are an education because of the amount of bandleading he does

Wow, that's cool I had no idea. The fact that he's singleing someone out before he does it makes it even better hahaha.
