Vernel Fournier Drum Lesson pt. 3/3

Here's audio (transferred from cassette) from a drum lesson I had with two drummer friends with the late, great Vernel Fournier around 1990. Vernel was most famous for his playing with the Ahmad Jamal Trio featuring Israel Crosby on bass. Look for my introduction video to Vernel for the backstory to this lesson, and explanation about audio quality etc. Thanks for listening and please subscribe to my channel for upcoming content. - Ted
