As I said in the video, I am constantly striving to be a better player and am always working on my feel. No one will ever play it like Jeff Porcaro, but I felt comfortable enough to teach it. Based on the 96,000+ views and 639 likes I think a lot of people are using the lessons and liking it. So on this one, I'll stick with the majority. Thanks for your comment! - Jared Falk

Mr. Jared sir. The number of views...or likes..isn't the standard . The standard should be ..is it correct. THAT is the problem with KZread stardom. It's not gospel..it's not remotely correct many times and I am sorry but that matters to me and it matters to the people I have taught. The only thing that having 96,000 + views does is send a whole ton of players into the world who play this groove completely incorrectly. I love what your channel does 90% of the time. I have NO issues with general lessons..or anything remotely like that. If that had been just a video about some of the subtle aspects of a shuffle...I wouldn't have felt the need to comment. But it's billed specifically..(again to attract some of that 96,000 viewers) as THE Rosanna Shuffle..which it is not. That is my single biggest issue here.

Classy Response! Circa 2013

Jared, I'm in my mid-forties and I wanted to be a drummer all my life but didn't really have the chance. Now a few months ago I bought a kit and I practice every night with your video's. What a fantastic help that is, and what a great teacher you are. Thank you very much for all your effort, I (and as I see many many more people) really appreciate it. Best regards from Amsterdam, Holland.

@@brandoncollinsdrumms Glad to hear it. He is an absolute treasure. The most important thing I learned from him wasn't even drums. He taught me how to learn. But his concepts on time and groove are priceless. Have fun and take a lot of notes.

I'm an intermediate drummer, and I so love Drumeo. I think the tips are helpful, insightful, and for me, very unpretentious. I'm sometimes intimated by drummers who are so much better than me, and are sometimes cutting in their remarks on videos and websites. I know I'm not great, (I'm very good with a band, though), but I'm here to learn and get better. To me, it's all about improvement and the music, and pushing yourself. I really appreciate the caring, accepting, and encouraging tone of Jared and all the guys who give us tips, exercises, and training. Thanks guys! (that all said, I'm STILL Struggling with Fool in the Rain, Rosanna, and Babylon Sisters!) ;) Oh well, we can't all be Purdie/Porcaro/Bonham!

@TheRudyStrong More then just the head play a factor in the sound. You also have to consider the snare wires, the shell type, reso head, number of lugs etc. - Jared Falk

Jared, I am a professional session/live drummer for over 30 years and I bought into your online drumming a while ago and think it is such an asset from beginner to advanced. I have also been a huge fan of Jeff for a very long time and you absolutely have this groove down my friend. Thankyou for sharing yet another stellar video. One day our paths might cross but until then keep up the great work. Steve

Porcaro explains it as a hybrid of Purdie/Bonham/Diddley The Bo Diddley Kick rhythm is missing from this lesson.

Loved Jeff's drumming on Boz Skaggs' "Silk Degrees" album and on Michael Jackson's "Beat It". My all time favorite drummer. RIP, Jeff Porcaro.

Porcaro shuffle, which Jeff says (said) he took from Bernard Purdie and John Bonham. :-)

@royalsfanatic I only started to play drums when I was 15... I played a little piano before that. It's never too early to start. Don't expect them to take it too seriously and don't push them to practice or they might end up hating it...If they are meant to be a drummer it will happen. I have an 11 month old son and can't wait to get him a kit (if he's interested). I'll start him as young as possible. - Jared Falk

Love the way you break down the parts to build on the full groove. I found when you played along with music on the screen very helpful.

Not a drummer here but an RN with a neurology background, so the sophistication of & difficulty mastering this groove has always fascinated me. When really really slowed down, the addition of the bo diddly bass rhythm seems such a misfit to me - not until it speeding up does its recruitment really synergize with other 2. What a visionary Pocoro must have been intuiting possibility of whole new groove from synthesis of all 3.

I have this bookmarked on my phone. Keep telling myself I’m gonna figure it out. I need to quit making excuses and learn it. Great breakdown of it, this is a fantastic straight to the point lesson. Thanks man!

Wow,I have to say that your respect and admiration for Jeff Porcaro is truly amazing! To be honest, most younger guys don't have a clue who he was or how amazing he was as a drummer! Anyhow, good lessons. I appreciate what you teach and how you do it....I'll keep learning!!

I began to practice this groove with “These Chains” on Toto’s “The Seventh One”. It’s kind of a slow version and shows the dexterity of Jeff’s playing.

@theman82 Great tips...thanks for sharing!

Yes, this was inspired by John Bonham, but it's not the same. Jeff Porcaro played a variation of The Bonham shuffle. I have transcribed them both, and the ghost note, kick, and accent patterns are different. So I think this one should be called the Rosanna Shuffle or Porcaro Shuffle. Don't get too caught up in the semantics of it. Just play drums.

Thank you very much for the lessons , now i can do it. Very happy to do That. Your lessons are perfect , with solfege , metronome, etc.....

Jeff said the bass drum was a combo of fool in the rain and the bo diddly shuffle. Great job, you sound nice

Hey man, you are really good at what you do. Your playing, your teaching, and you are humble. Bravo! And you turned me on to Toto. I had no idea they grooved like that. Just never listened to them. Thanks for the video and I am now a subscriber.

I love that roll he does at the end of it. I always thought it was singles but it goes lrr lrr lrr lrr k s with the accents on that third r.

Amazing feel and timing Jared. This groove has eluded me for years. Lol

Love your honesty an approach to teaching

What a cool beat. I always liked that song and i can hear it going through my head just from you playing this beat so you have a good feel Jared. Thank you for this video.

Thank you for breaking it down. I couldn’t start learning this without your video.

Kudos on a great lesson Jarred. You are spot on about your struggles with this groove. My ear tells me your excellent technique is just getting in your way. Lay it back a bit and let it get a little sloppy here and there. Much appreciation to you and all the Drumeo crew!

Thank, thank and thank you!!!! Watching you from São Paulo Brazil🇧🇷

@2112jamac I transcribed this groove from the recording of the song Rosanna. I will re-check it later, but I am 99.99% sure that this is the correct way to play it...

@InfliktionDrums I have two editors that put these together. Kyle and Victor. They do a great job. I have written a Songo lesson and just have to get into the studio to film it. It'll come soon... - Jared Falk

I am amazed by the way you "broke down" the piece in such away that I managed to play it. Excellent.

Excellent video. Thanks drumeo!!!

Jeff was inspired by John Bonham (Fool In the Rain),and more so by Bernard Purdie's "Half Time Shuffle" as heard on Steely Dan's "Babylon Sisters" and "Home At Last". He went into this groove in great detail on his Star Licks tape that he put out in the late 80's or early 90's. That tape is available in segments on You Tube. It inspired me to start playing again after a 25 year hiatus. Great job Jared. This is a tough groove to play "right".

Hey Jared, great explanation and great way to show the groove. Keep it up

My all time favourite groove! Nicely done Jared

Great job Jared! 👏 this has helped immensely

Thank you so much for your awesome lessons. They have made a big impact. I've been trying to learn the Purdie shuffle for about 6 months on and off now and this is one of the best instructional videos I've seen. I have a couple more that I will add in the next post but I can't fit it all in because of the character limit. Other great instructional video links will follow. One from Max Sanselone who I also find to be a great teacher. The other two are from Purdie and Jeff Porcaro themselves

@Gunbardo Playing along to straight quarter notes was very challenging due to all the space. Having the triplets in there helps a lot. - Jared Falk

Hi Jared, I just talked with my drumteacher the last time about this groove. He just showed how to play but without instrunctions. He just played the groove one time. So I am glad to find it here inculding the transcription. Now it will be able for me to learn this one, thanks for that. I realy like your videos of freedrumlessons... quite good idea and for free, thanls alot for this... and keep on with that stuff. With kind regards from germany, Markus

Excellent breakdown. Thank you for the score

Body movement is key also. Moving with the groove helped me. Dance while you play!

Thank you so much for this one great job Fantastic teacher

@PrimalRhythm Listen to his drumming, that will answer your question.

You got my sub man, love how you break it down.got some mad skills man!!

that kick sounds awesome!

Nice one Jared! Those subtle ghost notes on the back beat that Porcaro masterd and delivered with perfection along with shuffle grooves to die for, You have brocken it down perfectly for us mear mortals who endevour to even dare to come close!! Thank you sooo much..... Nice T Shirt by the way!!! ;)

@steinable It's a sign!

Thanks Jared. Definitely worth of watching. R.I.P. Jeff Porcaro you are the GOAT

@2112jamac Ok... I learned it from Jeff Porcaro, so for me, it's the Porcaro shuffle :) For some reason everyone on KZread gets hung up on semantics all the time. We all need to understand that there are sometimes MANY different names for the same thing. Just saying'... - Jared Falk

great and humble way to teach that wonderful drum beat, one day il get it !!!! on the drum

This has been so helpful! Thank you sooooo much! ❤

@GabeRiseAndFall Nice, I already have and though it was awesome.

I like seeing this broken down as I have been 'feeling' my way through this shuffle~ I was close, but no cupcake. My aim currently is to learn to play some of these important grooves correctly. I appreciate this lesson, and you know it's up to each of us to 'find' the way to groove this pattern (and all others) for ourselves. Is it possible to capture the rhythmic feel of a piece while playing it perhaps incorrectly? I think so- to a degree. BUT When you learn the right pattern everything eventually falls in place...Thanks Jared!

Thanks Jared,amazing insight, Thanks,Ian

good job, thanks! you did it great!

Baby Jared Falk! I just came here, searching for what was folk-named "the Rosanna Shuffle," because of a new song by Fredrik Thordendal, used for demonstrating "Area 33 - Origin" in Superior Drummer 3. That song sounded completely awesome, and I need many more like that in my playlists. Great lessons AS ALWAYS, Jared! ❤️

Thanks for sharing, love it!

This breakdown really helped a ton, more than Porcaro's, and I can now play Rosanna and Fool in the Rain. Thanks!

This lesson is GOLD!!!

thanks Jared! this video is so helpful..

Thanks so much this helped a lot and once you learn the main groove and play the song a lot the other versions of it just happen and the shuffle becomes muscle memory

I found this video very helpful, thank you!

I'm one of those someones reading your shirt! and awesome drumming Jared! You made me fall in love with the Rosanna shuffle after I watched one of your previous lessons on shuffles (if I'm not wrong), and I've become a big big big fan of it! Plus it's nice to be introduced to awesome music through your videos!

I think having the metronome play the triplets makes it harder to swing this and make it feel right. I would have it play 4/4 and allow myself to swing the triplets to get this to groove. Nice lesson as always Jared.

My drum teacher loves Jeff also man and no wonder. His beats are out of this world. I'm far away from this myself but man I'd love to be half this good.

Hank you Jared for this fine lesson. I wanted to learn this for a long time :-)

The key to getting this groove is the Bo Diddley beat on the bass drum, which I didn't see or hear in this lesson.

Thanks a lot for your videos man.. Your great and I ve learned al lot from you!

This is great! I love the graphics really help. Great teacher!

It was me. I was reading his shirt.

Everybody who is complaining about it: show us a video of yourself and prove that you can make it better. I think it`s great anyway that a lot of people here trying to help with drum - guitar - pianolessons....whatever. Nobody is perfect, at least he tried. And for me it sounds very good, im a girl -guitar player and i would be glad to have a drummer like him.

Your kit sounds great!

Great lesson. Thank you.

Jared siento como si tú fueras mi único profesor, muchas gracias, desde ahora la forma en la que toque batería va a ser gracias a Mike Wengren y a ti .

Thank you for the lesson

Yeah great explenation and lesson, i learned it from a double paradiddle perspective. This one hit's the nail! :)

I don't usually chime in on these things , but I wanted to add that we should also include Bernard Purdie in the discussion. "Home At Last" from Steely Dan's "Aja" record, and "Babylon Sisters" from SD's "Gaucho" record are 2 other versions of the groove, from 1977 and 1980 respectively. I'm a huge Bonham and JP fan, but I have to say I heard Bernard do this first. Also, great job explaining the groove, Jared.

I had to go back and read the shirt. I think the shirt is cool. Very hard song to show and play Jared. Great job! It was also great to hear you have played this for some time and still try to get it better! It shows we are not alone when playing drums!

Love the channel mate. Thanks so much. 🥁 🇦🇺

Excellent lesson!! excellent groove, thank you. I may have already commented this but: The hard non ghost snare hits are on the 2 and the 4 beats. You are playing the snare ghost notes that immediately follow the 2 & 4 hard snare- You can ditch them- watch Porcarro break down the beat here on KZread & listen closely- if I remember I don't think he plays them. In my opinion the groove sounds better with those two ghosted snare notes omitted and a nice bonus is the groove is much easier to play (still a challenge regardless!)

Excellent tutorial

Great lesson thank you so much

well done!!! very helpful,
