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!

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.

That's awesome, Mark! I'm glad you find my content helpful. And that sounds super fun, switching out instrumentalists like that!
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...
LOVE this and am excited to practice the shuffle with the help of your awesome video!

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 🙌

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

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!
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.

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...

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.

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
