When the likes of De La Soul, Danger Mouse, Madlib, Mark Ronson, Marco Polo, and The Alchemist all turn to your drum breaks to sample from, that means you’re bringing the heat. That’s the case for Jay Mumford b.k.a. J-Zone, the fresh emcee turned in-demand funky drummer. A wide range of his drums are available on Tracklib, Including 'Concussion Percussion,' 'Big Ol' Breakbeats,' and music from The Du-Rites he forms with Tom Tom Club guitarist Pablo Martin.

"Clyde Stubblefield was the guy who made me want to play drums. Just watching him is what made me go out and buy a pair of drumsticks. I never sampled a drum beat again. Instead of sampling, I used that as inspiration to get good enough to just sample myself."
"I just want to have command of my instrument the same way that I had command of the MPC2000 or a pair of Technics 1200s."
