Stix Hooper :: The Aquarium Drunkard Interview

As a member of The Crusaders, drummer Nesbert "Stix" Hooper's life in music is a testament to the power of the groove. With his rhythms at the foundation, the band blended R&B, jazz, rock, funk, and eventually fusion, and his playing would go onto provide crucial samples for beats utilized by artists like J Dilla, Madlib, Three Six Mafia, and many more, making him, according to his label, "arguably the most sampled drummer of all-time." He joins Aquarium Drunkard to discuss his new album and storied history—and one necessary ingredient that should be in every pot of gumbo.
