Bernard Purdie

I know of Bernard Purdie because he played on several hit songs from the group Steely Dan. He has apparently been recognized as the most recorded drummer in history, having worked with either 2500 artists or on 2500 recordings.

This is the video for The Purdie Shuffle: An Iconic Drumbeat from The New York Times. Even though the video is 12 years old, it has been making the rounds.

This link is to an excerpt from the Classic Albums episode on Steely Dan and Aja, that includes the contributions of Bernard Purdie.
