Welcome to ultimate drumming calm. I'm Jim McCall. I'm gonna show you this really great sound and shuffle pattern. First I'm gonna play it for you. Then I'm gonna break it down note by note and show you how it works. In order to play these shuffle patterns, you gotta 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 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. Eventually, evenly, evenly, evenly, even van. Eventually even the van life 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 evenly. We want to be up for snare drum, it's gonna go on beats two and four. I'm gonna coordinate the two hands together. What up to a 34313 bass drum in this pattern is going to go on the one of a three and a four. So in other words, it's playing on every note that I'm saying except for when I play the two and four on the snare drum.

I'm coordinating just the right hand and the right foot together nice and slow. 12341234342424 Now I'm going to add the left hand on beats two and 412 or three I'm gonna pick up the tempo a little bit. You'll see that we have a full blown rock and roll shuffle with this a little faster. What I do And there you have it. Another great sound and rhythmic pattern that you can add to your repertoire at ultimate drumming calm. I'm Joe McCall.
