One Minute Drum Lesson - The "Purdie" Shuffle

Today’s One Minute Drum Lesson - The "Purdie” Shuffle
Named after the master, Bernard Purdie who popularized this type of groove - a half-time shuffle with the ghosted snare drum hits played “in-the-gaps” between the hi-hats.
Have fun and please let me know if any questions

This took me two months to play cleanly, no way one minute XD

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Ha, not saying anyone would learn it in one minute :) Thanks for watching man!

[@toptrump1499]

Mike Barnes Drums no worries, keep up the good content. Any chance you can do a cover of seven days by sting on the grade 8 trinity syllabus

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

@@toptrump1499 Yeah will be coming up soon man :)

[@MidwesternCornbilly]

Great breakdown of the triplet shuffle but...and there is always a but...I wish you would have continued the shuffle beat for the rest of the minute instead of adding in the flourish.

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

[@snarecat3441]

Here’s your lesson, bam ! 😅❤🥁😎thx Mike Barnes! You are absolutely on it..

[@steveanderson6180]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! That moment of incredulous, jaw-dropping, you-gotta-be-kidding-me, this-I-GOTTA-see, etc when I read the notification of this lesson made me forget all the cares of my day. Your quick chuckling comment of "seems like sacrilege to try to do this in a minute" restored my faith in you. Rosanna was being A Fool In The Rain, but when her other Babylon Sisters found her, they had to take her Walking On The Moon before they could get her to come Home At Last.

[@patriodiames9715]

Man, this is by far the best drum teacher on YT. No much talking!

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Ha, thank you man :)

[@Rubsbenz05]

Fr man

[@bsb1975]

Succinct explanation. This is such a cool groove, too. Excellent video.

[@flybatramirez350]

Love me a good halftime shuffle and I'm with toptrump on this - been playing nothing but fool in the rain for the last two weeks and I only just managed to stop it kicking my rear end. Worth it though!

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Great man - thanks for watching. Video about Fool In The Rain here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqq8koCigZ6FiaM :)

[@pclindholm]

You have to bob your head to that beat, so good

[@mio_e_jag]

Picked up drums two months ago for the first time. Just learned this, real nice tutorial.

[@extremeprejudice0]

Great feel you've got there, smooth as ever.

[@EarthtonesCymbals]

I always learn something from you. Thanks and best wishes always! ♫♪♫

[@jesperthorsson3586]

Lovely groove there Mike, flowing beautifully

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers Jesper! Thanks for watching :)

[@ahackercalled4chan]

nice explaination!! thanks for the vid

[@MonkeyChamp]

Always awesome, Mike. Cheers

[@dean4662]

Best drum teacher in the uk

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers Dean!

[@dean4662]

@@MikeBarnesDrums can u really not teach if I dont have a kit😕?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

@@dean4662 ?! There's LOADS of good drum practice you can do away from the kit! But in the long-run if you're going to learn any instrument you'll need regular access to it.

[@charjl96]

I don't know why it's in quotations. In a thousand years they'll still be calling it the Purdie shuffle

[@Aditiyan]

Bloody marvellous. Thank you

[@oobenoob]

Don’t worry about those ghost notes. They ain’t nothing but rebound!

[@Twobarpsi]

Haha! Yes he did say that!

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Nice lesson, man! Fun concept 👍

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers Carl! Thanks for watching man :)

[@TheSativastorm]

Been following purdie himself for a month so ive nearly got it but man.. watching this was so much more coherent and concise. Fucking nailed it

[@nishdafish258]

Great video 👍

Not as easy as you make it look, but better lesson than the clinics bernard did himself

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

[@themenardbros5708]

So is the snare hits (including ghost notes) at a constant quarter note?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

No. The ghosted notes are technically one quarter note apart I guess, but I don't personally find that a helpful factor to focus on when building this up with students tbh. Two more detailed breakdowns of this groove for you here... kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6vUdJZ3lrSBY8U&pp=ygUgbWlrZSBiYXJuZXMgZHJ1bXMgcHVyZGllIHNodWZmbGU%3D kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHy1aqNoh8lqfNE&pp=ygUgbWlrZSBiYXJuZXMgZHJ1bXMgcHVyZGllIHNodWZmbGU%3D

[@flybatramirez350]

I've always wondered, do you double up on those ghost notes? They're coming out like machine gun fire!

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

No, just clean single strikes - as quiet as possible while still staying clean hits. Cheers!

[@MidwesternCornbilly]

Great breakdown of the triplet shuffle but...and there is always a but...I wish you would have continued the shuffle beat for the rest of the minute instead of adding in the flourish. We beginners are too easily distracted.

[@MidwesternCornbilly]

@@MikeBarnesDrums Wow...Thanks for the link. This groove is driving me bonkers...but in a good way. I look forward to experiencing my Ah-Ha moment with this one.

[@boomer3150]

@@MidwesternCornbilly Tell me about it. I had my "Ah-Ha" moment for Fool in the Rain, after 3 years of "hit and miss". Now, this Rosanna beat is slowly coming together, especially with Mike's help. However, when I get frustrated, I revert to more familiar 4/4 or 7/8 beats -- or even the Bonham shuffle -- and groove on those. Fool in the Rain still mocks me, however, as I cannot grasp the middle part of the tune. As a drummer, I am a veteran, but have conveniently ignored these shuffles for decades. Time to face the music, lol.

[@staticchannel1]

Great lesson but I still can’t get it🤦‍♂️
