go get a greatest hits compilation of James Brown. He's got funk. His old drummers wrote the book on that stuff. Prince is good too - His drummer John Blackwell is amazing.... but James Brown is the original. Might as well start with his drummers.

here's some J. Blackwell

David Garibaldi/Tower of Power, Aaron Comess/Spin Doctors, Chad Smith/Red Hot Chili Peppers

But yeah, start with James Brown, Parliament/Funkadelic, Isley Brothers, and Sly and the Family Stone.
