I'm a self taught drummer, i started with punk rock. I can play, but it's very stiff and loud. Now that I'm fighting cancer I don't have a job anymore, but more time to exercise. This video helped me the most of all there is online. With the tips from the one mentioned in the video, I'm really getting better. Combined with the pills, playing drums is my best medication! Thank you Rob for making this fight more fun!

Get. Into. Funk n soul! I did more rock-ish things as well and like you said loud and I could never get those ghost notes sounding perfect. I got into funk and soul (talking some old school stuff like 60s-80s) parliament, George Clinton, Otis Redding, James Brown; its so fun to play along too and it's great for feeling the music and being one with the kit so to speak

I never knew how uncoordinated I was until I started these shuffles. all the parts are so simple until you put them all together. Ive been playing drums for years, the shuffle for me was a nightmare until now. A total brain rewiring. The most important thing for me to focus on is the - a lang hihat, its what ties them all together. When I tried this in the past my hi hat was a spastic mental patient, thats why I could never get it.

Nothing opened up my abilities more than learning to play a proper shuffle. This may sound kinda abstract or whatever but, it really requires you to have limb independence and to feel the spaces between the beats, and to not rush anything at all. That's just based on my own feelings.

Anton Maclean I’m with you on that. This might be helpful. It’s a triplet between the high hat and snare with some ghost noting in between accents. The only thing that changes between each shuffle is the bass drum part.

@toddvanfleet8576 4 жыл бұрын

With you on that Anton. Play by ear, play by sight. To get to the other side. Also like his pattern breakdowns- 4 bars of each. He let's the drums do most of the talking. No distracting chatter The ghost notes on Bohnam and Picarro (both borrowed from Bernard Purdie )are my challenge. Better get back to it.

Yes and visual learners benefit from the greater use of illustrating the concept at different tempos. Too much verbal.instruction in music is not usually effective as 99.999% of our teacher's verbal cadence and tone is not inside or reflective of the music they are teaching.

Again a great lesson! I love how you play slow patterns for a long period of time! No one else does this. It takes me watching repeated slower patterns for an extended play along session to get what’s happening. Others show the individual sticking and then go to faster speeds immediately and I have to keep trying to rewind and find certain spots over and over again where I can’t get in the groove of it. You get this a right. A student needs to play along with the teacher at 1st Also: an incredible Snare drum! Perfect Bass tuning Great choice of Hats

Your vids on shuffles are by far the best I've seen. I had to learn the Bonham shuffle back in 97 for a cover band I would session with. FEEL is absolutely the most important part. Most videos I've seen go overboard trying to explain the ghost notes and don't focus enough on the feel. That's how I figured it out in 97. I pieced it all together after finding the feel for the groove. The ghost notes are the polish. It's refreshing to hear these grooves broken down like they should be. You're making many drummers lives a lot easier and a lot more fun. Thank you!

My favorite is Porcaro's Shuffle because his shuffle is a hybrid of both Purdie and Bonham's shuffle grooves. I also think Jeff is often overlooked when people name great drummers. His grooves were all over the place in the 80s. He shaped the sound for so many like Boz Scaggs, Michael McDonald, Steely Dan, George Benson, and Pink Floyd.

Since isolation,I've lost at least 90% of my gigs, so I've built a studio to track drums for all sorts of projects. It's been a whole relearning process to be a great studio drummer. What works live,alot of the time, does not work in the studio, it's like starting over, which is a very exciting challenge. Just wanted to say Thanks,and God Bless ya for"passing it on"!!!

That crazy Steve Gadd guy and his hand/brain twisters. I've shedded most of my shuffles through the years starting with blues and jazz shuffles and working through Bernard's stuff and all the variants of it. So while watching this I was able to tap along pretty proficiently with all of these and look forward to work-shopping them in finer detail thanks to this lesson. But that Gadd shuffle flipped my brain upside down for a sec and is JUST the type of thing I've been looking for to add to the workout sessions. I love limb confusion and getting a new piece of independence added to my vocabulary, and I've been wanting to incorporate some closed hi-hat foot/hand grooves. This is a perfect jumping off point for that. Thanks man! I love all your stuff!
