Classic funk album w/ a monster break from ''Dance To The Drummers Beat'', sampled many times and includes some great other funk trks.

As a group, Herman Kelly & Life had a relatively short life span. Releasing only a single album, Percussion Explosion!,
in 1978, the Miami-based band didn’t have as much immediate success as some of their contemporaries. But with a single, inescapable song, they managed to forever become a part of music history. Their funky, upbeat single “Dance to the Drummer’s Beat” became one of the most recognizable and frequently used breaks in hip-hop history, used in songs by legendary artists like Run-DMC, Public Enemy, N.W.A., 2 Live Crew, Whodini and DJ Shadow, and was featured in the famed
Ultimate Breaks & Beats series.
