Welcome to ultimate drumming calm. I'm Jim McCall. I'm going to show you this really great sound and shuffle pattern. First I'm going to play it for you. Then I'm going to break it down note by note and show you how it works. What I do In order to play these shuffle patterns, you got to be thinking, eighth note triplets.

I count eighth note triplets, evenly, evenly, evenly evenly. I play on everything that I say. It's gonna go like this. evenly, evenly, evenly, evenly, evenly, evenly, evenly, evenly, evenly, evenly, evenly even. Now, when playing the shuffle pattern, I'm leaving out the middle note of the triplet, which would be the end note. So I'm playing on everything else, but every time I get the end, it's a rest or silent.

It's going to go like this. evenly, evenly, evenly, evenly, even evenly. Even the E Bay leap. Now the problem with that when you start picking up a little bit of speed, it's kind of a mouthful. So we're going to simplify it and candidate 12341234. But it's important that I maintain that triplet feel all the way through the pattern.

Whenever I'm playing a shuffle, it's going to go like this 12341234 evenly, evenly, evenly even we want to up the snare drum, it's going to go on beats two and four. I'm going to coordinate the two hands together. What a two, a three, a four, one 301 the bass drum is going to be a combination of shuffle beat number two, and shuffle beat number three. In other words, I'm putting the bass drum on beat one, and beats three. I'm going to coordinate it together just with the right hand on the hi hat. Nice and slow.

It's going to go like this 1234 Now I'm going to add the left hand on beach, two and four. I'm still keeping it nice and slow. What, two or three or four Once you get comfortable with that tempo, we're gonna pick it up a little bit And there you have it another great sounding rhythmic pattern that you can add to your drumming repertoire.
