As I said in the video, I am constantly striving to be a better player and am always working on my feel. No one will ever play it like Jeff Porcaro, but I felt comfortable enough to teach it. Based on the 96,000+ views and 639 likes I think a lot of people are using the lessons and liking it. So on this one, I'll stick with the majority. Thanks for your comment! - Jared Falk

Mr. Jared sir. The number of views...or likes..isn't the standard . The standard should be ..is it correct. THAT is the problem with KZfaq stardom. It's not gospel..it's not remotely correct many times and I am sorry but that matters to me and it matters to the people I have taught. The only thing that having 96,000 + views does is send a whole ton of players into the world who play this groove completely incorrectly. I love what your channel does 90% of the time. I have NO issues with general lessons..or anything remotely like that. If that had been just a video about some of the subtle aspects of a shuffle...I wouldn't have felt the need to comment. But it's billed specifically..(again to attract some of that 96,000 viewers) as THE Rosanna Shuffle..which it is not. That is my single biggest issue here.

I'm an intermediate drummer, and I so love Drumeo. I think the tips are helpful, insightful, and for me, very unpretentious. I'm sometimes intimated by drummers who are so much better than me, and are sometimes cutting in their remarks on videos and websites. I know I'm not great, (I'm very good with a band, though), but I'm here to learn and get better. To me, it's all about improvement and the music, and pushing yourself. I really appreciate the caring, accepting, and encouraging tone of Jared and all the guys who give us tips, exercises, and training. Thanks guys! (that all said, I'm STILL Struggling with Fool in the Rain, Rosanna, and Babylon Sisters!) ;) Oh well, we can't all be Purdie/Porcaro/Bonham!

Not a drummer here but an RN with a neurology background, so the sophistication of & difficulty mastering this groove has always fascinated me. When really really slowed down, the addition of the bo diddly bass rhythm seems such a misfit to me - not until it speeding up does its recruitment really synergize with other 2. What a visionary Pocoro must have been intuiting possibility of whole new groove from synthesis of all 3.

Yes, this was inspired by John Bonham, but it's not the same. Jeff Porcaro played a variation of The Bonham shuffle. I have transcribed them both, and the ghost note, kick, and accent patterns are different. So I think this one should be called the Rosanna Shuffle or Porcaro Shuffle. Don't get too caught up in the semantics of it. Just play drums.

Jeff was inspired by John Bonham (Fool In the Rain),and more so by Bernard Purdie's "Half Time Shuffle" as heard on Steely Dan's "Babylon Sisters" and "Home At Last". He went into this groove in great detail on his Star Licks tape that he put out in the late 80's or early 90's. That tape is available in segments on You Tube. It inspired me to start playing again after a 25 year hiatus. Great job Jared. This is a tough groove to play "right".

Played and translated all wrong at the beginning of your tutorial...The feel on the bottom is the Bo Diddley groove. You're playing it more like the Bernard Purdie Half-Time Shuffle. Towards the end, your translation is the exact Porcaro Shuffle. The bass drum pattern is the Bo Diddley Groove. In fact, Jeff shares a tutorial video on Rosanna. It's so worth checking out!!! Even more so, his entire live band drum tutorial is worth its weight in gold, and then some!!!

Excellent lesson!! excellent groove, thank you. I may have already commented this but: The hard non ghost snare hits are on the 2 and the 4 beats. You are playing the snare ghost notes that immediately follow the 2 & 4 hard snare- You can ditch them- watch Porcarro break down the beat here on KZfaq & listen closely- if I remember I don't think he plays them. In my opinion the groove sounds better with those two ghosted snare notes omitted and a nice bonus is the groove is much easier to play (still a challenge regardless!)

@michellezito5542 6 жыл бұрын

I like seeing this broken down as I have been 'feeling' my way through this shuffle~ I was close, but no cupcake. My aim currently is to learn to play some of these important grooves correctly. I appreciate this lesson, and you know it's up to each of us to 'find' the way to groove this pattern (and all others) for ourselves. Is it possible to capture the rhythmic feel of a piece while playing it perhaps incorrectly? I think so- to a degree. BUT When you learn the right pattern everything eventually falls in place...Thanks Jared!

I Think people interested in this shuffle know the basics and grasp the idea.It's the consistency when you play the notes that kills it.

I don't usually chime in on these things , but I wanted to add that we should also include Bernard Purdie in the discussion.

I'm a huge Bonham and JP fan, but I have to say I heard Bernard do this first. Also, great job explaining the groove, Jared.

yep this is definitely the way. so start at 40, work up to 65 till your next session. And really emphasize that hi hat technique and then let the snare come naturally, remember how the snare combined with the hi hat sounds rather then trying to process the note locations of it in your head. easier. probably gonna have to dream this before adding those kicks though

@theman82 12 жыл бұрын

I think the key on getting the right feel for this beat is the ghosting of the snare, and especially lagging it slightly. And by that I mean playing the notes a little bit later than you´re supposed to. Dynamics is also important, playing the notes in between the 1 and the 3 very quietly, perhaps put an emphasis on the kick notes (except the last one). Drive and energy is very important, but I´m not sure how to explain that.

You do credible job Jared on this very difficult groove. Jeff is a very hard act to follow. If anything, your sixteenth notes on the hat sound just a little bit stiff compared to Jeff's original. His just seemed to flow so effortlessly. It took me the better part of a month 20 years ago to really get this groove down perfectly and it has been a part of my warmup ever since. It is one of the most recognizable grooves in rock and roll and when I warm up everyone over 30 instantly recognizes it

@sabahoudini 12 жыл бұрын

You play the kick and snare on the beat and the hi hat is a bit after. Jeff Porcaro puts the hi hat on the beat and the kick/snare a bit after. Not like a flam or anything but just on the back of the beat. Also he accents the hi hat on every "one" and "three". This might be a bit tricky because it's easy to put the accent where the kick is but after the first snare hit the kick is not on 1. Also he seems to "wave" a lot in velocity of the hi hat. You play pretty much the same volume.

I Seriously think that you can learn the drums from somebody off youtube than you can if you went and took it from someone in person, awesome by the way
