Prince’s Drummer Breaks Down 5 Iconic Grooves

Hannah Welton worked with Prince from 2012 until his passing in 2016 as part of his backing band, 3RDEYEGIRL. A product of the social age, she got her big break when Prince discovered her on YouTube, so it’s no wonder Welton emphasizes the importance of practicing regularly and sharing your playing online (“Because you never know who’s going to come across your work!”) A bonus of working with Prince was that he was an exceptional drummer and groove writer himself, so when you were playing parts he’d written, you knew they’d be perfect for each song. Enough of the backstory. Bring on Hannah Welton’s 5 favorite Prince grooves! 0:00 - Intro 0:40 - “Let’s Work“ 3:36 - “Purple Rain“ 6:45 - “777-9311“ 9:46 - “Mountains“ 11:57 - “Musicology“ _______________________________________________________ ►Learn Drums Here: ►Free Lessons: ►Our Favorite Music Products: _______________________________________________________ Follow us: ►The Drumeo Beat: ►Facebook: ►Instagram: ►TikTok: @drumeoofficial Follow Hannah: ►Instagram: ►Twitter: _______________________________________________________ #Prince #Drums #Drumeo
