PRESSED ON WHITE VINYL“33 KO’s at 33 RPM!” J-Zone’s fifth drum break library, Concussion Percussion, brings together theindividual strong suits of its predecessors for an all-in-one groove blizzard, the NYCdrummer’s most complete and versatile to date. 33 breaks deep, it’s nearly double the size of 2019’s Break Bonanza and 2015’sBackyard Breaks and just tips the scales over 2018’s Guerrilla Drums and theinaugural Lunch Breaks from 2014. After speaking with numerous producers anddiscovering each had a different favorite, J sat at the drums intent on putting a newspin on the best attributes of each one and throwing in some experimentation. The random commentary and human error of J learning his craft on Lunch Breaksshows up, but so does the eventual precision of Break Bonanza. The rhythmic andtempo experimentation of Guerrilla Drums resurfaces, but the hard-smacking one-twoof Backyard Breaks also remains. Then there’s stuff unique to Concussion Percussion:free-wheeling mallet grooves, psychedelic ride cymbal effects and the “somethingoutta nothing” use of crappy coffee beans for quirky snare drum sounds. With Madlib’s recent sampling of “Ode To Sloppy Joe” (from Lunch Breaks) on hissingle, “Road of the Lonely Ones,” the super-producer joins Broken Bells, Alchemist,Prince Paul, Marco Polo and countless others who’ve sampled J-Zone break kits. Jhas also done studio work for Danger Mouse (Karen O, Michael Kiwanuka), LordFinesse, Binky Griptite (The Dap-Kings), Show (DITC), Pharoahe Monch, AdrianQuesada (The Black Pumas), DJ Nu-Mark and many more, in addition to his ownbands (The Du-Rites, Manzel, The Zone Identity) and his tenure as the tour/studiodrummer for soul singer Ben Pirani.
