Jeff Porcaro's ROSANNA DRUM SHUFFLE * DRUM LESSON

[@emlix1]

Dude, I'd tried this shuffle about fifty billion times with everyone out there, Porcaro included. By following your lesson I had it dialled in a little over three hours. Thank you, and respect. xx

[@bonzoleum]

YES!!! That's what I'm talking about! If I can do it-YOU CAN DO IT! Thank you, sir!!!

[@td-12kx53]

You were teaching me this in your garage 20 years ago and I remember it absolutely driving me insane! I just could not ghost note into that pattern. Three years later, I downloaded the sheet music for it and watched the Jeff Porcaro video and studied this damned thing for a year before I finally got to where I could play it to where it actually sounded musical. Now, I incorporate it into a lot of our music and don't even think about it! But it all started with you 20 years ago! Ha! Ha! Ha!

[@Henry-uv9xu]

Great story

[@guymondo]

Thanks from the land of west Oz. Played them drums for 53 years now and still learning, still gigging.

[@drummerKev]

I realize this is one of your older videos, but out of all the “how to videos” on the Rosanna shuffle yours has been the most helpful. Thank you so much!

[@bonzoleum]

Thank you, Kevin!

[@familyatkinson3933]

Lockdown gives me the time to learn this (sadly) but this is THE best tutorial

[@RK-kp9xs]

Awesome job on this Terry, best breakdown of this beat I've seen.

[@kornelis2960]

I know nothing about playing drums and only came here because earlier I stumbled on this amazing girl Sina, but I do know that you're a great teacher!

[@marcoborghi8455]

Thank you for this great tutorial! Very patient, very clear, helped me a lot to understand it.

[@garyk1071]

Wow, awesome. You made this make sense to me. Took me 6 months but I finally have it. Very cool!

[@Shelscast]

Again, superb teaching technique.

[@drummerKev]

With so many drummers on KZbin playing demo lessons on how to play Rosanna now. This is still the best video out there. I learned how to play Rosanna from this six step tutorial over a year ago. I still come back to this video on occasion just to refresh my memory. It’s been a while since we’ve spoken Terry. I wrote on another one of your videos how much I love my Paiste Form602 Soundedge hats. Still my favorite hats!

[@bonzoleum]

Ah yes Kev. I still regret letting go of my magical pair of 15" 602 SE. I'm glad this was helpful!!

[@billyomer8417]

I couldn't quite get this about month ago, so put it on the back burner for a while. Re-igniting myself again with this shuffle and it's coming on strong. Have looked at other explanations of this since and your is best for me, Thanks

[@bonzoleum]

Thank you for the nice endorsement, Billy!

[@MrUsque]

Nobody has taken so much time in explaining this to us, thanks a lot!👍

[@dwaynevizzutti3990]

I love the way u break it down. AND your audio is so much better. It was BRUTAL in the old format. Thx for the audio upgrade

[@bonzoleum]

Glad you liked it, Dwayne!

[@adamsalerno881]

You finally did it. My life is complete

[@bellavia5]

This beat always perplexed me when hearing this song. Sounded so complex. This breakdown reveals it's simplicity.

[@TyroneDamShewlaces]

at 25:41 the rewind sound effects were priceless perfection! Very clearly explained process for working the shuffle out sir. Thanks a lot.

[@bonzoleum]

Thanks T! Glad you liked it!

[@michaeltatham7987]

If I play this beat I'll die happy. Thanks for this wonderful lesson.

[@US-ACE]

Excellent lesson. Perhaps THE Best explanation of this shuffle out there. Thx brother. I am grateful

[@bonzoleum]

Glad it was helpful-thank you.

[@BeatsWithBeans]

Eureka! The simpliest and humorous shuffle lesson I watched. Thank you for this

[@westy1479]

Westy Superb break down and explanation on a difficult piece of drumming. Thanks to you Terry I’ve got it. Cheers for the simplistic patterns and tutoring.

[@pjbarford]

Great breakdown, thanks again Terry

[@marcelog.2916]

Wow...Thanks man....This video is second to none breaking down the rosanna shuffle! Keep doing the great job!!!!

[@wasteland01]

thank you. you are a great teacher. i wish i was in my 20s' instead of my 50s'... but i am so grateful to finally learn this. thank you, sir.

[@bonzoleum]

Thank you, Mark!

[@Brian-qm6ph]

Awesome lesson Terry, one of your best!!

[@davidkinderknecht556]

I love the way you teach very entertaining and easy to understand not at all PRETENTIOUS. I wish you lived in the Seattle area. You know your stuff.

[@thegamingbadger5940]

I never thought I could ever learn how to do it, the other tutorials all step from only the shuffle with ghost notes and snare to the whole thing, but yours makes me finally realise how the bass comes into the whole thing! I’m not quite on tempo, but thanks to you I’m closer than ever! Thank you so much!

[@deadshot4245]

once you get to tempo push it above it by a decent margin until thats comfy and back and fourth then youll feel comfy in its tempo range much more

[@zertt911]

Best explained video! I like how you explained and broke down this (extremely hard) shuffle for mortal drummers like us. Without all the math and notes that professionals do on their day-to-day. Awesome work! Thanks!!

[@ermesborgnino4704]

Excellent breakdown Terry! Thank you so much. For what it's worth, your Fool In The Rain video was what i started with and then this Rosanna Shuffle video solidified it for me. You provide the *necessary* (IMHO) details and breakdown that i needed. You really make me want to jump on my kit and start taking days off to nail this lick. All in good time. You're awesome Terry.

[@bonzoleum]

Thank you sincerely, Ermes!

[@TheBestThingsEver]

I've spent the last week trying to nail this with tons of other videos on the net - I found yours today and by 20 minutes into your video, I've nailed it!! You sir are a legend, and your teaching style is awesome. Subscribed and a virtual pint coming your way ! Cheers

[@TheBestThingsEver]

I spent so long fixated on getting my left hand dynamics on the Ghost notes perfect, I couldn't get snare on beat three to carry into the ghost note of the 3rd "and" - ghost. But your breakdown and explanation of how to handle the dynamics of the "and" notes made it all fall into place with the bass drum pattern!

[@bonzoleum]

Cheers TBTE!

[@percussion1]

Very good teachings I will practice with this video.❤

[@leonleon3773]

great video i'm not a drummer but i really enjoy your videos they help me understand & hear things in different way

[@agcccggrr]

Excellent lesson! Thanks!

[@marcelocastroman697]

You're amazing. I need a teacher like you!

[@lori970]

I am a beginner wanting the challenge of playing a half time shuffle. Out of everyone I've watched, you have been the most thorough! Thank you so much for this lesson!!!!

[@azwald]

nice... this type of explanation is really refreshing. thanks

[@quackerscars]

I now have absolutely no excuse to learn it ! cheers and regards from England.

[@lotharluder2743]

The very best Video for learning this beat. Thanks !

[@antonellovitale407]

The very best is the one of Jeff Porcaro. This is not that good.

[@colinkennedy908]

A great explanation. And patience. I will get this finally due to your help. Keep being you. Thanks

[@ben_ide]

Always educational whilst entertaining. Win Win. Many thanks.

[@veronikakuncevich8187]

This is greatest lesson I have ever had!!!

[@bonzoleum]

Thanks VK!!!

[@garberwarren]

Thank you again you always make me want to practice. Have a great day!!!

[@RecycledWares]

I like how you broke this down. I have watched many videos on this beat and each drummer teaches differently. Your method made the most sense to me for the way that I learn drum beats. I am so new to drums, only been playing a year and am in my mid 40's. Not a easy beat to learn, but I am determined to get it some day.

[@Rpoke21]

This lesson has been very helpful. I was struggling a bit just looking at Jeff’s video, which is great, but does not get into the detail that you have to really break this groove down. Many thanks. I don’t have it yet - but I will soon enough!!! Thanks, again!!

[@wannabeadrummer]

Just a brilliant lesson Terry, thanks for this one😊

[@patrickfranklin7152]

Thank you for breaking this down. Wonderful instruction.

[@hughesor]

Absolutely top shelf on timing and rhythm around a cool beat...thank you

[@NateSilcox]

i just want to thank Bonzoleum. I have learned a lot from him as a beginner on drums only been playing for a few months and thanks to you i feel like i caught on pretty well. I love Led Zeppelin too

[@paulbreyen4563]

You, sir, are a great drum teacher. Well done!

[@randymeeks4698]

Dude... I do enjoy your teachings and we are so on the same page with the humor! That’s what make learning drum beats so amazingly fun! I have this one down minus the tempo when speeding up.... I usually don’t count when I play but have found myself one and a... just about every beat. Thanks for you taking time to share your talent!

[@bonzoleum]

Thank you sincerely, Randy!

[@sleverychops]

This is the best breakdown of this beat that you'll find...thank you

[@bonzoleum]

Thank you sincerely sleverychops!

[@tonygallego1783]

You have a great style of teaching, like the way you broke it down. Thanks so much. Hope to see more.

[@snapdavies]

Simply, and beautifully broken down and reassembled. Thank you very much. I have seen a fair few "how to" vids on this beat, but yours is my best shot at getting it.

[@bonzoleum]

Thank you Snap!

[@drummersinger5324]

Great drum sounds today . Especially the bass drum.

[@mathewhastings9485]

Everybody can tell you how to play it, but nobody can play it, Jeff will always be the master of the Rosanna shuffle and the only who can play it.

[@MarkAnthony5150]

Played many moons ago you have inspired me to take it back up thank you, starting out with Alexis E Kit so I don't bug the neighbours. Really admire all your hard work you put in these videos.. You're on my list friend, when I hit that lotto you shall be rewarded...Thank you again keep drumming my humble opinion you're the best on here...

[@bonzoleum]

Thank you sincerely, Mark!!! I'm glad you're back to playing!!!

[@richardmarshall7587]

Magic! This beat has been doing my head in for a while🥁 Great help. Thanks very much👏👏👏

[@steveharrison8095]

Thank you so much! I have been trying to nail this groove for some years. I have studied Porcaro, many Toto live videos, covers, lessons, Drumeo, everything! This is the only one that has broken it down into tiny bite sized pieces, and now I think I have it!! Yay 😁! Cheers 👍

[@bonzoleum]

thanks Steve! That's terrific!

[@John-vp3oi]

I absolutely appreciate this explanation. Very helpful.

[@Henry-uv9xu]

You really are a great teacher.

[@dennisthate5787]

At first your lesson seemed too discombobulated... but the tip at 1720 has really helped me. Thanks !

[@uk7769]

Really really helpful thank you so much!!!!!!!!!! Never would thought I would even approach this song ever. I will at least give it a shot, because of the way you break it down. Thank you!!!

[@PhilDourado]

Yes, it was helpful 😉. Brilliantly helpful! You're a star, man. Thank you for working through that for us.

[@bonzoleum]

Thank you, Phil!!!

[@ConTeNudaGamer]

Always struggled with shuffles, thanks for the video

[@deluxe853]

Great video. You make the seemingly impossible, achievable. Brilliant teaching style Terry, I'm gunna nail this beat. Thank you.

[@bonzoleum]

You're welcome, D-I'm glad it was helpful.

[@samyadam4870]

You are definitely an excellent teacher. Great drum lesson bro >

[@FFR428]

Terry thank you! These shuffle beats always give me fits to play. And I never get them quite right. This vid shows a great breakdown of it. Got it now thanks so much! Big fan of ALL your drum and cymbals vids. Glenn

[@sierramodre1]

YOU are a great teacher; thanks so much-very appreciative...

[@bonzoleum]

Thank you, Sierra!

[@williambashoreinc.2588]

Such an awesome lesson! You have a great step by step process. Thanks so much!

[@bonzoleum]

Thanks, William!!!

[@rickdacus1818]

As a retired music teacher and percussionist, you do a great job on your teaching techniques. Teaching by music theory (counting rhythm) , and your visual techniques made the shuffle "doable". Please let me know if you do a video on jazz riffs."never to old to learn" Thanks for you incredible motivation video. You have me practicing again.

[@chicobellini6297]

I learned a lot from your drumvideo’s and now I can play the Rosanna shuffle thanx to you👍

[@bonzoleum]

Thank you, Roel-that's terrific!

[@stufromsaturday3957]

Fantastic video, thank you so much for taking the time to break this beat down. 👊

[@gregoryhussey6477]

Man if you ever come to South Island NZ let me know - I'm picking you'd be a hoot to have a few beers with!

[@digitalwarrior1000]

Thanks to you...I can execute the Roseanna shuffle at will.

[@idfsoldier101]

Thank you for the breakdown! I’ve been trying to master this for some time now and this really helped. Much appreciated

[@jrrm3]

Good video. Last year I practiced this and struggled with the second bar., and it wasn't until I saw the notation that worked out what was going on. In bar two ,the first bass drum beat and the grace notes either side were really awkward for me to begin with.

[@Yodarox22]

Omg.... thanks so much for the breakdown! I had the sticking, but could NOT add the kick for some reason. I at least have it in my head now. Cheers Man!

[@bcdigiart141]

NICE UPGRADE on the video quality and the nicer YAMAHA kit..... and thank for the good angle and the break down of this beat..

[@CarlKennedyMusic]

Great mind hack for this iconic beat. Thanks so much!

[@bonzoleum]

Glad you like it!

[@ladislavbalaz7558]

Good work, you have talent

[@MichaelHollowell]

Great explanation of my favorite beat.

[@rubikclockweights]

I agree with emlix1..Thank you, detailed and step by step, with comic moments, Well done !!

[@randyl6512]

Thank you very much, great lesson

[@SpiritsOfAnotherDay]

Very good lesson / had bought Jeff’s VHS a long while ago; and this is a clearer description of it. You really micro broke it down.

[@lowlander12]

Great explanation Terry. I really love Jeff's drumming. He made it look so easy, so effortless. Have his video but couldn't get my head around it. Thanx to you I can. Now all I have to do is try the hands and feet and see if I can make it sound like you do. Greetings from Holland, Marc

[@adamsky8963]

TOP course ! Bravissimo. Merci! Thanks à lot.

[@LetTheWritersWrite]

So basically toss out all your paradiddle muscle memory. Love your teaching style

[@bobweber4140]

The more you play this fantastic groove the more subtle it gets took me months to get Purdue’s bonham and this one great teaching it’s a tough one to get it’s those dam ghost notes lol thanks terry for your dedication

[@muelesariocontra]

Great lesson! Thank you!

[@kai326]

Jeff Porcaro is a legend

[@robesquivel7606]

Hey, Terry: when I started watching the lesson - frankly, it looked too complicated for me. but I decided to watch the whole thing and I 'm really glad I did. Thanks for being so patient and breaking everything downinto "digestable " chunks... I'm still at "snail Velocity", but -thanks to you- I actually get it. I've been struggling for over 20 minutes on my practice pad - still haven't tried it out on my kit- but i think that within a couple of days of practice I'll have it up to speed. Great lesson, bro!

[@stowjer]

Love the way you teach man!
