Welcome to ultimate drumming calm. I'm Joe McCall. I'm going to show you this really great sounding, double shuffle pattern. First I'm going to play for you. I'm going to break it down note by note and show you how it works. When playing these great sounding shuffle beach, you gotta be thinking eighth note triplets with the right pattern.

I count triplets evenly, evenly, evenly evenly. The right pattern go like this 1234 even Lee evenly, evenly, evenly, evenly, even evenly even. Now when I'm playing the shuffle, I'm going to leave out the middle note of the triplet or the end note. So I've got like this 1234, evenly, evenly, evenly, evenly, evenly, evenly, evenly, evenly. Now saying all those evenly it gets to be a mouthful. So to simplify I'm going to count 12341234 but I have to maintain that triplet feel throughout, it's going to go like this evenly, evenly 341-234-1234.

When I'm playing this shuffle pattern, I'm playing both hands in unison. So both of them are going to be playing on the 1234. Right hand on the ride, left hand on the snare drum 123411 easy enough. Now the trick is to give this a nice pulse would be to try and accent beats two and four on the snare drum without accent. Sending beats two and four. On the right hand, remember the hands are going to be playing in unison.

So you're gonna have to separate the hands when you get two beats two and four, go like this 1234 Now I'm going to add the bass drum on the quarter notes. So every time I say beats 123 or four, I'm playing the foot on the quarter notes. It's gonna go like this. We're gonna put it all together 1234 Now, once you get comfortable with that tempo, we're going to pick up the speed a little bit. It's also smart practice to play a couple minutes. Ride pattern on the closed hi hat.

A couple measures ride pattern on the ride cymbal and alternate back and forth. Something like this What? And there it is another excellent sounding rhythmic pattern you can add to your drumming repertoire. I'm Joe McCall. Thanks for watching and visiting ultimate drumming calm
