How to play the Rosanna Half Time Shuffle [5 Steps Program] (Walkthrough)

[@donnewberry5840]

While this is far and away the best break down of the Rosanna Shuffle, it might be the best break down of any beat that I’ve seen. Unlike the usual “sink or swim” videos, this one lays down a solid foundation of theory and technique on which to build. This layered approach with increasing tempos is matched only by the production of the video. The inset, beat tracking, tempo log, and (especially) the “unison, tap, hi-hat” section are all on point and USEFUL. You’ve earned a new subscriber who can’t wait to practice. Thank you.

So many have already said it, but it really does bear repeating. This is by far the BEST breakdown of this beat quite possibly in the history of...ever. Thank you!

[@BrandonKhoo]

Thank you Mike!! I really appreciate those words.

[@wendelllima768]

The way this guy pronunce the words in english makes me understand Everthing what he says. What brilliant is this. I love the way american talk

[@kellyklinkner4812]

This is the best breakdown of any complicated drumbeat that I have ever heard. I’ve been played drums for 40 years.

[@BrandonKhoo]

Thank you Kelly! I hope it helps you.

[@2002drumsonly]

The Purdy Shuffle can be a tricky beat to learn. You broke it down in a brilliant easy to understand way. Well done. Exceptional teaching skills.

[@Reslo]

Thanks for using the correct term.

[@SJSer]

Been trying to understand this beat for a year and either it's not explained well or the teacher assumes too much or glosses over something important (like timing of the ghost notes vs the beat). Brandon fixed me in 17 min. Thank You Sir you are a Master!

[@BudgetTravelGuy]

Friend, this may be the BEST drum video I've ever seen anyone do. I FINALLY understand it, and I have to preface that by saying that I didn't completely "get it" with Jeff Porcaro himself trying to explain it to a much younger me back in the 80s.

[@pfrigon1]

One of the best videos I’ve seen. This is the only video I have seen that really introduces the mechanic of the hi hat which is essential for this groove.

[@eppyify]

Just plain fantastic teaching method, there might be hope for me after all

[@dominicobeng623]

Thanks for explaining the mechanics of triplets. Pretty much every video I've seen skips this essential rudiment of the shuffle beat.

[@taniacoleman3550]

I appreciated this also. Amazing lesson.

[@johnmorgan6162]

As a classically trained percussionist/drummer who now plays current music, I can say this is the fastest way to understand complicated drum scores. You can spend days, months, years trying to learn a rhythm thru repetition(a waste of time) but if you use the theory you can get it down in a matter of hours. I was playing this rhythm in 30 minutes. Great video.

[@kannank.]

This is probably the best explanation and breakdown of not only the shuffle but what is a triplet and the nuances of it

[@BrandonKhoo]

Thank you Kannan! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@user-sn6vc7zp9w]

I can't believe I've been trying to play the drums for over 40 years and never 'heard' this shuffle, I know the Texas, and Chicago shuffles etc. When I attempted this my brain blew a gasket, i didn't think I was going to get it. But I have! Brandon is like a coach! I practice it everyday, and now I can keep up, but still have a hard time getting started by my self, but it's getting better. Thanks Brandon you're a hero!!

This is by far the best drum tutorial/lesson I have ever seen online. What a gift! Thank you. I can not tell you how many videos I have watched in regards to the Picarro/Rosanna shuffle, but this is the crown jewel.

[@ironcobra98]

I have seen many videos explaining this groove, but Brandon has really broken down this groove so well and also has put in a lot of effort in putting this video together. I like his warm and friendly personality and I would definitely look forward to watching and learning from his videos. Thanks, Brandon for this great video.

Hi Dominic, Thank you so much for your kind words and for appreciating the video. I'll be uploading another tutorial soon. I hope you will enjoy that one as much as you enjoy this one.

First off I’m not a musician but I love music. The drums are the most complicated instrument to the eye. The most important instrument of a band. If you don’t have time you don’t have music. I feel like by watching you play and give this lesson I could pick up on it. Great video!

[@321CatDaddy]

Where to put the dang ghost notes is what threw me back when Rosanna came out. Bonzo and Purdy were bad enough, but then along comes Jeff with his Bo Diddly kick drum pattern! You sir have explained it brilliantly and I wish there had been a teacher like you when I was starting out. Take a bow! Marty

[@BrandonKhoo]

Hi Marty. Thank you for this! I do appreciate it. It's never too late to learn something new. The amazing thing about grooves like this is you hear something new every time you hear it. I too am learning in many aspects. Thank you once again Marty.

[@brussalis]

Best breakdown of the Rosanna beat Ive ever heard. Ive been playing some 30 years and made many attempts at this groove but never actually nailed it accurately. Probably because I never properly understood it, therefore never analysed it well enough and certainly never broke it down in such a simplistic way as you have done. Superb video, with crystal clear breakdown thats brought on that "lightbulb" moment. Thank you so much .... now wheres my kit? I need to go and nail this once and for all ... 🙂

[@BrandonKhoo]

It is really heartening to know that this tutorial helped you understand the groove after so many years. I really appreciate you letting me know this. Thank you so much!

[@jazersanting1811]

I have been trying to wrap my head around this shuffle for years, and you broke it down perfectly. Now I'm seeing great progress in practicing this shuffle thanks to you!

[@thaddeusodonnell3986]

Man I started trying to learn this about 6 months ago...watched about 20 different instructional vids on YT and they all eiher failed to present a practical approach to playing this or just had it wrong themselves. There were 2 that werent bad and almost got me playing it. But in this video by showing the progression of the beat building in bpm you make it very consumable and now I know that the only thing keeping me from playing it consistently is practice because my hands just aren't used to churning out moeler+ghost note triplets at 160 bpm without tensing up. You broke it down so anyone can see exactly where they are not getting it. Identifying the problem is so crucial in drumming as when you don't know what your doing wrong..you can't fix it. Thanks so much, I can now play this very well at 140 and am getting close to being able to do it at 160 consistently..for now gotta practice a little bit before I get it going at speed. Great vid!

[@BrandonKhoo]

[@Mudge07]

Why do I like this lesson so much? You can hear all the kit elements clearly and the instruction when and how to play each in correct timing. In particular you can see the notation as well as the foot action. I’ve watched many presentations on this excellent groove and none of them cover all these points; even Jeff’s inspiring, original lesson doesn’t benefit from those latter points. If you don’t need them, fine, but for a comprehensive build up it’s well worth the minutes, or hours, it may take you to master it.

[@bigwillie5717]

But WHY is this the best breakdown of the Rosanna shuffle? Quite simply…because most instructors merely play each limb’s part separately then have the student mirror or repeat it then combine the parts. Instead, Brandon offers CONTEXT to each limb’s part…so we, the student, may fully grasp WHY and HOW each part is played and so we may arrive at the big AH-HA moment generally faster. Big difference from simply repeating something. This is very similar to learning a new language. Instead of replicating the auditory tones and sounds of a foreign language word with no comprehension of what you’re actually saying, you instead learn the meaning and context of each word in order know WHEN and WHY to use that particular word. Then the words makes sentences and as such, you comprehend a conversation. Same with Brandon’s lesson here. The triplet/hand see-saw/hi-hat shuffle lesson alone is brilliant…and practical. Brandon’s approach to this has allowed me and I’m sure other drummers a faster means to grasp this iconic shuffle. Well done!!! *Fun exercises: import the Rosanna shuffle into other popular straight 4/4 cover songs. Also, once you can play the Rosanna shuffle, you’re not far off from the Bonham shuffle. Adjust some accents and learn Bonham’s groove from “Fool in the Rain.” (Latin drums and whistle optional.)

[@BrandonKhoo]

Hi PIPI... thank you so much for that awesome compliment. It means so much! Please omit out that second half of your comment from your mind. By saying that your body won't allow you, you just disabled half of your ability to play that groove. I believe a lot in mind over matter. The mind is a powerful thing. If you keep telling yourself that you cannot achieve something, you would be limited your ability by half. I sincerely hope that by following these steps that you would be able to play the groove in no time. Keep me updated! =-)

So I’ve taken a lot of notice of the current drummers and techniques and especially Jeff Pocaro, RIP . But try as I might I’ve really struggled with the Rosanna Shuffle getting my head around it. Then I come across this video by Brandon Khoo and finally I found an instruction video that really does break everything down into understandable and workable sections.

Like how outta nowhere you let loose on the full Bo Diddly Beat, then pause at 8:50..... you're like dang I nailed that one.

[@MNDrummer]

Excellent breakdown of the groove. I know for many drummers syncopation, ghost notes, and really anything outside of a 4/4 beat is intimidating. Often times some of the grooves or fills that sound complicated are really not that bad once you break them down into their parts. If you can't just listen to a song and learn it instantly, then take your time and break it down. Learn the pieces. Learn it at a slower tempo. Once you get a few basics down then keep turning up the tempo. When your playing you ultimately don't want to be doing too much thinking. You want to feel the song and you should be comfortable behind your kit. If a song is a chore then you have to evaluate why. Rock on!

[@hzilla5550]

Very interesting in that I had to finally resort to reading sheet music to get this and learn Morello's Take 5 groove after 30 yrs of playing drums by ear! I am right handed and "play"drum open handed style. So I use my left hand on the high-hat shuffle triplets for Rosanna and then when I get tired, I go to my right hand on the ride to play Take 5. At 68 yrs old, it keeps me young and gives my brain a work out. You ain;'t kidding about the need to practice. Also started rudiments (paradiddle) on the drumeo practice pad I won from Drumeo!
