[@lucaswedderburn]

Thank you!

[@curtishinkle7885]

stank all the way bro

[@joshuaenyart5570]

Do you happen to be a student of Keith Carlock?

[@wessel175]

isn't that the pornhub intro?

[@nixdapogs]

As someone who has a permanent stank face, I need to learn these chops so I’d have an excuse.

[@marywillis1630]

It's Iike PMS every day!

[@prodJBeyaz]

lmao

[@davidbroadway3012]

Playing funk gives me what I affectionately call: "chicken neck"

[@solitudeparade]

Solid enough of a video that I’m not even gonna cry over the jab at disco.

[@eamonnbeahan5611]

Honestly what was that lol? I thought disco haters were confined to the dustbin of history.

[@schance1666]

we wouldn't have The Killers, or a lot of other bands without a solid disco beat. beats is beats just as parts is parts.

[@Kadota]

ok whatever dad

[@MLBlue30]

@@eamonnbeahan5611 Seriously, Disco is back. Hating on it so so late 20th century. I mean, it took a while for it to come back to be fair, but we need something to do while Rock is waiting to come back to life.

[@frankspikes7858]

Disco... not a huge fan. But it has its place. I will say I like Donna Summers

[@jurlinquist]

I know no one will read this, but; i remember my sophmore yr in hs i was at a house party, it was a quad kegger and some college kids brought their guitars and a drum kit and tried playing some live music. No one was feeling it for their tallent wasnt quite there. One of my close friends encouraged me to hop on the drums and give a demonstration. I had a few beers and got on. I laid a mild funk beat down hotting some.ghosy notes amd tripplets with the base, while i was playing i felt a tap on my shoulder with a random guy holding the mic giving me the "keep it going" hamd signal. Skinny white guy. He started rapping and it progressed into a hip hop/funk progrssive song. Everyone gathered around and the party went NUTS. Man, i was only 16 and shouldnt had been partying, but if i hadnt, i wouldnt have those memories. We created a vibe that was pure and ill never forget it. These beats are important to lesrn if youre lesrning drums. Funk/jazz beats are KING. Edit: i was also a self taught drummer. I started in 2nd grade and taught myself by listening to the music. I didnt know how to read music, and youtube wasnt quite a thing yet.

[@GregoryGeller]

Cool story bro!!

[@johnmclachlan6746]

Loving the comedy infusion lately dude, makes learning from you even better than usual!

[@chezchezchezchez]

I love it Jeff! Fantastic that you’ve been exploring a lot of funk lately. And you’re so good at it. The cool thing for beginners/intermediates, is funk sounds amazing, and it’s not ridiculously hard to play. I encourage all beginners/intermediate players to attempt Jeff’s funk lessons. You’ll be jamming away in no time, and having a blast on the drum set! 🥁

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

Glad to hear you’re enjoying the funk lessons Jim! Next up we’re going to check out those famous funk beats!

[@sammcnaughton5961]

Thanks Jeff - your playing is so precise it's a joy to listen to. Those Zildjian K light hats sound amazing and that popping snare is perfect. My band plays a lot of soul and funk so I'll be using these beats for sure. Can't wait to stank it up!

[@lucaswedderburn]

Hell yeah! Just started forming a band and my guitar players can play some soulful riffs, I want to bring some funk into the equation hehe that’s my favorite genre

[@pickle2942]

when i looked at the sub coat i thought that there were like 200k. You deserve way more for how much time you spend on these!

[@JohnnyMilkwater]

God loves you all! The Father sent the Son to die for you and your sins so that you could experience freedom to the fullest! Believe in Christ's death and resurrection (which sealed the work done on the cross) for your salvation and the forgiveness of sins! God bless you all, I will keep you all in my prayers!

[@omidk.6470]

2:12 I think I heard this somewhere before, . Idk

[@FranciscoFariasHeatProductions]

808's, kicks, hi hats, percs, and some shifting snare. Hiphop and rap beats of today

[@johndough7160]

I love playing on 13 inch snares. Crispy baby, crispy.

[@drummermomcjs]

Nice beats, definitely inspired the Stank Face! I love a good funky groove, having grown up with Parliament Funkadelic, Earth Wind and Fire, Larry Grahm and Grahm Central Station, and a host of other funk greats. A couple of these were less familiar to me, but most of them I play already and I agree they are great beats. :-) Thank you for sharing.

[@dickrichard626]

Actually it's called the "thizz" face and it was popularized by Mac Dre...

[@theonewhodrums]

First couple minutes: "Yeah, okay buddy. Show me something." 2:54: "Oh, ok, he practices.."

[@dmytrostepanov6037]

Thanks!

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

You're very welcome!

[@JakeBoldtPoursPaint]

[@namek_flix]

2:00 LEAVE ME ALONE!!! ''DING'' AAAAAGHHH ''ding'' AAAAAAAAAGGGGHHH

[@rosslmccallum]

Pocket beat is sounding great!!

[@quicolic]

As always: Awesome playing, awesome video, awesome sound, awesome quality! Great Beats! Thank you again, Jeff!

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

Much appreciated!

[@timfrye675]

Lol, that very first beat I played back n the day I picked up on from Clyde Stubblefield ( James Brown's drummer). I'm feeling u on these funk beats bro., right up my alley.

[@sonylizz]

Hey Jeff, do you take online class for beginner/ intermediate level drummers? Please let me know....

[@mrt5342]

Probably one of the more attention grabbing youtube titles I've ever read, coupled with the freeze frame "visual aid"! 😆 I'll be watching this later...

[@pedrod.7576]

Awesome video. I love the concept of stank face. We've all experienced it!

[@aussiefarmer8741]

Have a listen to a band called "Slide 5" album Rhode trip. 90's album cool grooves like this. Let me know if you do listen, its 1 of those albums you just can't stop playing.

[@gonfreakz1393]

Gotta say I love your content that being said I have some constructive criticism. Play the groove longer. Can’t learn the beat with you talking over it after 2 measures. You are very informative though and still should commentate just let us hear the beat longer! Or even slow it down. Just some food for thought. Keep killing it!

[@justusmohr7560]

nice Video !!! Can you please tell me which effects in your DAW you youse on your drums ?? Pleeaasss !!!!!

[@bigl6322]

I’ve got a couple funk guitar things I’ve been working on and these are perfect to lay them over… back to the kit… Are those 15” hats?? They work well with that solid snare tone..

[@funkytomtom]

YO WTF. I don't hate disco. I actually think the whole movement to kill disco killed pop music for generations.

[@salluisi7648]

I wanted to offer as well, (oh no not another offer), I actually learned drums playing with a bassist to a James brown rhythm section book, consisting of drums n bass...so most of James browns beats(he was a drummer first,,) were the first thing I learned on drums, and I gotta say, you could do worse...talk about open and closing hh's,phew,every song even with rim shots

[@s.matthews6781]

Imagine a Full Metal Jacket scenario except he isn't asking to see your "war face.." Rather, "let me see your stank face!"

[@yosefbartov284]

hey jeff whats up bro ? greetings from Israel. i like your hair style . nice funk video

[@udodrumming]

FUNKY AT ITS BEST !!!!!!! THANK YOU SSSSOOO MUCH JEFF RANDALL......

[@JonnieXbox]

@jeffrandallmusic what is the drum beat playing over the intro? Love that one

[@codersexpo1580]

Funk you! haha Just kidding! Very nice vid Jeff. Nice and concise. This one could easily get away from you as there is a lot of funky funkin sheeat out there!

[@Stixpercussion]

Awesome lesson. Would you happen to have notations for these by chance?

[@mattwhisnant5926]

You can't hate disco unless you hate life. Funk is awesome, but disco is pure fun. The world was a better place with disco.

[@salluisi7648]

Also, did you know my generation is really fast couplets or swing eighths,not straight 8's,check out the music for it, it gives the song a whole new perspective

[@danielgolay8387]

Ive had stank pants before. Its exactly what you think and its not related to music at all, but it can be, and thats a crowning achievement

[@panthergirl1256]

Me: newbie drummer who watches video to find out what funk is Also me: instant stank face without knowing what stank face is

[@ChadwickKalunga]

As a beginner I love listening to drum grooves, please cook something up for us to listen to only 🙏🙏😖😖

[@greedfox7842]

stank face is to music, as laughing is to comedy; that is to say, it is a leftover instinctual reaction to stimuli from centuries ago, similarly laughing is the "we are safe" noise humans used to make after we we startled or threatened.

[@notsoquiet6598]

Just found you, Jeff, your channel is FIRE 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🧨🎆

[@edanrussell5656]

i played one of these in a small school funk group i played with yesterday and got stank face from a teacher. very proud to have made a teacher stanked 😂

[@ChadwickKalunga]

❤love this dude's videos as a person who wants to learn the drums he's content is really beginner friendly

[@iamjackscompletelackofsurp9606]

Speaking of moeller technique, how about doing a short video on that?

[@superatech]

Please could you recommend 2 or 3 songs that we could play these beats to? Thank you

[@learmonroberson3763]

I have stank face everytime I play. My dad thought i was in pain playing

[@treypoluga4896]

Lot to chew on in this video, thanks Jeff!

[@Bostonaholic]

My stank face lasted more than four hours after watching this video.

[@alexeykorotkov7043]

Swung pocket beat sounds kinda familiar a little bit...

[@ethanbowman7191]

the last drum groove is the same groove off of Tyler the creator's song what's good

[@chrisfournier6144]

I always thought that BB King needed to change his socks more often…

[@vernonsteinkamp1088]

You nailed the funk out of this subject. I am a funk drummer at heart. I agree that the 16th note is one of the hardest to keep smooth and in the pocket. "When I'm kissin' My Love by Bill Withers and Cold Blood both do a nice job with the 16th. By the way, I've opened for Cold Blood a couple times.

[@computersarecool8]

You are my number one source for big band writing! Your grooves are being played in schools in Pennsylvania and West Virginia including West Virginia University right now!

[@ir0n_bb170]

Man I love you drumming channel, you always motivate me to practice, i learnt some pretty cool fills and grooves from your channel👊

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

Love to hear that dude!

[@immanuelcalunod8518]

And they're doable for me too.

[@lucianobritti6809]

You're the best Jeff. Groove MODE ON

[@AtelierEphraim]

the Swung Pocket Beat sounds like PH intro 💦

[@adamjc86]

Syncopated beat sounds like amen break using hats. Great beats, appreciate the video!

[@sidharthrao9005]

The second one is one which I'm sure all us guys are familiar with

[@themole2024]

Jeff you are a natural teacher, entertainer, and really good drummer. I am enjoying your channel. I took up drums at age 60 (7 years ago) and just wish I had started when I was a kid. These make Great semi retirement brain activity exercises.

[@repomanband]

Very nice! Thanks for breaking down the funk.

[@rdmoo123]

but i love disco…

[@axelez-263]

You are not alone

[@brandontyr4733]

Love the sound of that snare, what type of snare would it happen to be?

[@MiguelKooreman76]

Nicely played sir! That 13 sakae snare rips!

[@Andras393]

any way i could get you to send me the sheet for that groove in the intro?

[@fhillydrumboy]

Wonderful video! Great feel and groove? What snare are you using? Tremendous sound! Keep up the great content and work!

[@bhaveshsolanki6485]

Wonderful playing and so damn funky you really put the time in to nail those beats. What I would love to see is the fills/phrasing and stickings you use to go with this types of grooves perhaps you could do a series on that? A bit like you did in the beginning of the video when you were playing that swung groove and then adding those little swing fills in that keep the momentum of the groove going!

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

Love that idea Bhavesh! Like a funky fills lesson or something like it. Will do!

[@richardsiima3004]

JESUS CHRIST Loves y'all!!!!

[@loganmorris2793]

I have heard 2:13 somewhere.....not sure where though....

[@Shikigami6]

Great lesson! I find it really amazing to see how much modern (pop-)punk drumming is influenced by funk drumming. Did not realize this until now :)

[@johnglaze7882]

Nice beats! But mostly, nice hair!

[@allthebesthypnosis2850]

that 'Jazz-Ride Beat' gave me the Stank Face...

[@not__max6854]

hey guys what are those lines with the 2 commas on them sorry

[@ScottMartinD]

(0:14 -2:09 -2:55-6:37 all slight variations)

[@Xueqs]

I was waiting for the 16th note groove

[@dreamfaller6372]

Why do people hate disco?

[@JC-ig4xy]

My favorite is the Broken 16th Beat

[@DZNTZ]

You’re a BEAST! It’s always impressive and inspiring to see someone SO completely dialed in - technique, timing, feel - just awesome.

[@vivalav6078]

Is he hitting the bottom of the hi hat with his left hand?

[@electrosonicnebula]

Hey I could be your dad and I hate disco lol

[@geralddrums]

Very very cool!! :-)

[@shootsbraw]

Unmuffle that snare immediately!

[@SlikkTim]

Very cool video ! Just one thing about your version of the go-go beat: the essence of gogo music is the 3-2 clave. You have to have that clave (as bd, bd, bd - bd, snare) for it to be gogo music.

[@Andras393]

dude what was that first beat in the intro

[@kromiumsound]

This kit sounds really sweet 😋

[@samnzdrum]

Incredible bass drum sound.

[@A.ChristopherJohnson]

How 'bout some Bop Jazz homie !!

[@claymine]

Loving the funk! Great lessons as always, and superb playing!

[@pana_fresco266]

muy bueno chavales
