Welcome to ultimate drumming calm. I'm Jim McCall. I'm going to show you this really fantastic sounding shuffle pattern. First I'm going to play it for you. I'm going to break it down note by note and show you how it works. In order to play the 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 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 arrest or silent, it's going to go like this.

Eventually, evenly, evenly, evenly, even. Eventually, even the event loop 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? A two, a three a 41313 bass drum is going to go on every number that I say, all the quarter notes. bass drum, in other words is going to be put on beats 1234.

What? A two, a three, a four. Now once you get comfortable with that, we're going to pick it up a little bit. A one, a two, a three In some styles of music, you might want to be playing a cross stick, click on the snare drum with the left hand. It goes something like this one, a two, a three, a four. Now once you get comfortable at that tempo, we're gonna pick it up a little bit.

There you have it another great sound and rhythmic pattern that you can add to your repertoire. And ultimate drumming calm. Joe McCall. Thanks for watching. I'll see you soon at ultimate drumming.com
