Welcome to ultimate drumming calm. I'm going to show you this really great sand and double 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. When playing these great sounding shuffle beach, you got to be thinking, eighth note triplets with the right pattern. I count triplets evenly, evenly, evenly evenly.
The right pattern would go like this 1234 the then Li 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'd 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 it, I'm going to count 123 a four a one 234 but I have to maintain that triplet feel throughout, it's gonna go like this evenly, evenly 341-234-1234. In this shuffle pattern, I'm playing the left hand, on one, a two, right hand has gone on to a three.
So the left hand pattern is going to be like this. One, a two, a three, a four, a one. right hands gonna be playing the swing pattern on the closed hi hat or ride cymbal. What a two a 342434 I'm going to coordinate the two together, a one, a two, a three, a four. Just like the other shuffle patterns, you want to try and get that accent with the left hand on beats two and four. To give it that nice shuffle pulse.
It's gonna go like this, a lot, a two, a three, a four. The bass drum is going to go on beats, 123 and 413. Once you Get comfortable with that. I'm gonna pick up the speed. It's smart practice to switch from ride pattern on the closed hi hat to the ride pattern on the ride cymbal. Something like that.
So what I do there you have it another excellent sounding shuffle pattern that you can add to your drumming repertoire. I'm Joe McCall and thanks for visiting ultimate drummer calm
