Soul Drums is the debut album by jazz drummer Bernard "Pretty" Purdie which was recorded for the Date label in 1967. The single "Funky Donkey" reached No. 87 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1967.
Jason Ankeny of Allmusic states, "Not so much an album as it is a master class in the art of funk percussion, Soul Drums is the quintessential Bernard "Pretty" Purdie LP, an unstoppable rhythm machine made all the more memorable by its fiercely idiosyncratic production... It is virtually impossible to listen to Soul Drums without nodding your head and tapping your foot—and physical response, not thoughts or words, are its most sincere praise".
