Is this a shuffle and could you show how to play it? Sarah McLachlan - "Black & White" kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6KbfIB8qcSLhs0

Probably the most simplest, concise explanation of shuffles I've seen. You covered a ton of ground in a short amount of time. Nice video!

I'm an old guy but a new drummer (gotta do something) and I've watched a ton of KZbin drum shit. That Swedish Drummer is at the top of the heap: clear, concise, effective. Hair color - different story, but I'll be back. Thanks. O.D. (old drummer)

[@Kram62]

I had the good fortune to have a drum kit left at my house for about a year, 30+ years ago. I learned as much as I could as fast as I could (mainly jamming to the live Skynyrd album One More From the Road) and really haven't played since...I play Bass in a band now and the drummer wants me to play the kit for a couple tunes (while he sings). This lesson was great! Thanks man. Trying to get back in drum shape again.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

That's awesome, Mark! I'm glad you find my content helpful. And that sounds super fun, switching out instrumentalists like that!

I hope i can do this one day. I can play drums but i always struggle with the shuffles.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

There's only one trick to learn it properly: Practice slowly (for a long time!) and then gradually bring the tempo up :)

Hello CJ, . Love your video's. The "beginner" videos have been perfect. Im an appreciative member. I am 52 and have late stage Parkinson's disease. While at times I can't even hit the drum head and other times have to cut the fills short. Regardless I am still enjoying, and learning. Rather than trying multiple drum teachers I decided to go 100% with you. Its been worth it. Congrats on the sponsors. very cool!

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

[@jokervienna6433]

The oldtimer is back - great lesson! I love the shuffle, it is truly useful in blues, which is what I have been playing the most. I won´t post the link (when I have posted links before, the comment get erased at once), but for a good example of badass shuffle, check out the "Swedish ZZ-top": Sky High and their song "I ain´t beggin´". In the studio version, the beginning is kind of "sterile" up until around 2:20. Then they have a short break, and the shuffle starts. And all hell breaks loose. With the shuffle, suddenly everything fits. 😘 For both drummers and drivers out there, please listen to this song sitting behind your computer. If you happen to drive, your leadfoot will likely "just be there" and you are suddenly driving 180 KMH...

[@ryanferris8905]

Just looking a that on the first couple bars at 90bpm shuffle , newbie here, when looking a fills I feel like you could essentially scale down on the toms back into the groove ? My background is guitar which has been years but by listening it could fit ? Just wondering

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Indeed it could! You can create really creative fills however you want, as long as they're played in time and "fits" the music. Cheers, bud!

[@lecossec1958]

Hi teacher. As a new member I would like to know how to go directly to the transcripts of the lessons I'm interested in. For example I woukd like to get the transcripts for the current "shuffle for beginners" lesson. When I search in the "see perks" section, I can't find this specific lesson. Your help will be much appreciated. Thank's in advance.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

This lesson is from before I started the channel membership, so the transcripts from this lesson does not exist sadly😕

[@lecossec1958]

Ok. So I will copy them from your video as I did before being a member. Thank you for your reply@@ThatSwedishDrummer

[@Ibidski]

This is really helpful and you gave me an idea!And by the way those toms sound sooo fat and punchy! Is this because of the mic, tuning or the shells?

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

All the things you mentioned play a factor in sound. The core sound is from the tuning. But the room, the shell, the drum heads, the playing-style, the micing etc. play a big part in how any instrument sound 🙌

[@woodchopper7962]

Should have gone over the shuffle in Pete Townsend's face-the-face. Could probably call it a double-time shuffle. Difficult to play but great for building stamina.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Maybe for another video!

[@woodchopper7962]

Great. Might be an opportunity to introduce Simon Phillips to some drummers that are not aware.

[@warburtonpaul]

Have been attempting to play drums for 6+ years, but am still pretty basic. Know what to do for the shuffle; can count the shuffle, but my 1 and 3 hold me back and flatten out the groove when playing to tunes. Any tips, anyone? Thanks...

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

I'm not 100% sure I understand what you need help with, is it the half time shuffle? I'd gladly help out, but I always recommend - practice reeaaaaally slowly (and I mean ridiculously slowly), and gradually increase the tempo to analyze where the problem starts.

[@warburtonpaul]

Very kind of you to reply. I am trying to learn the groove to Return to Sender by Elvis for one, and yes, I have reduced its speed to around 80%. I'm guessing it's around 118bpm when played properly. But progress is hard going. Currently, just playing to a metronome between 100-105bpm. @@ThatSwedishDrummer

It is a blues shuffle. It's called Texas Blues Shuffle

@@ThatSwedishDrummerbeen playing this stuff since the early 80s. It doesn't have the right feel for a Texas shuffle. Or indeed, any blues shuffle (except rock-blues). It's good, but it's too straight.
