"Sweet Home Chicago" Basic Shuffle Groove And Fill Practice-Along

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Simple play-along for drummers looking to drill and solidify their basic shuffle groove, and basic triplet based fill to compliment it. Shoutout to all viewers and channel members that have requested this type of vid, which recreates the sort of drills we do in face-to-face sessions on two drum kits :) Notation on practice-along notation formats on the channel members' page, here: www.buymeacoffee.com/mikebarnesdrums/notation-practice-along-for-sweet-home-chicago-shuffle-drill Other videos relevant to this... The Shuffle: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3-bdGaons-Wftk Building up a shuffle groove: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIjPf3aOnN-anc0 What are triplets?: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZLcoaiXjsuBaMk Just a note about the on-screen notation - To save space I’ve just notated one bar of groove and one bar of fill. As I say in the vid though, the idea is to play three bars of groove followed by one bar of fill throughout. In the third bar of groove btw, feel free to leave off the very last hi-hat hit on the “+” of beat 4 to faciliitate getting smoothly into the drum fill if you like.

Hey Mike. I'm a 67 year old who always wanted to be a drummer. I can sit and watch you all day. The way you smile and play with such ease is an inspiration. I just wish we had the internet back when I was younger and could have learned from yourself.

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Lovely, thanks for watching!

[@shanaston2932]

I'm 65yrs!!! Because of you started drumming, thank you 😊

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Rock on! Thanks for watching and glad you dig 🙏🏻

[@CrackedCandy]

Man, there're so many little nuggets here, priceless. Things no one took the time to tell me as a kid. Now I believe in myself.

[@Michelle-un8nk]

thank you very much mike ! i'm a french young lady drummer of 68 years and my problem was with the shuffle that I didn't practice at all... You are with me every days since 4 weeks and now I can play this song nearly properly... 1 week more and that will be nickel !!😂 very practicle for me !!! many, many thanks 😅 Michelle

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Very cool Michelle! Thanks for watching and glad you dig. Just a reminder if I may that what we're doing here isn't playing the drum part from the song as such, we're using the song as a backing track to drill our basic shuffle groove and basic triplet fill. Cheers! :)

[@paddy4710]

Well that was a lot of fun to play to after Friday night down the pub after work 😊

[@BellaKarlsson-e3t]

[@reniets48]

Hello MIKE, of all the great drummers on you tube you are the one I watch the most. I have to go to ENGLAND in 2022 and I would like to know where you live to visit you and improve me with you with courses of course. See you soon, jack

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers Jack!

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Hi all, just to be super clear, this vid is a groove and fill drill along to this song, rather than how I would actually play this song in real life! I wouldn't play as many fills when actually performing the song! Cheers! :)

[@fernandoschiraldi6770]

Love it Mike.I'm 76 (!) and restarted to play in a friends rock band after 50 years. Your lessons are wonderful and easy to understand. Thank you and, when possible, try to add the PDF, even if it should cost some euros. Thank you, friend.

[@68Bards]

What have I learned here…? That a 12 Bar Blues Shuffle(…!) played on E-Drums(…!!!) can be something appealing to aspire to. Quite a revelation. Blinkers removed 😀

[@joannemorris1488]

This is soo fab x

[@EnochGilbert]

So sweet
