This lad is a good instructor. Besides breaking things down slowly and progressing gradually, he has EXCELLENT vocal interpretive skills. When I was his age, all we had -- I know, I know, "I walked two miles in ten feet of snow to my drum lesson" -- was a record that we had to raise and lower the needle a thousand times to figure out parts like those double-stroke fills mother-effers like Ian Paice were doing on Deep Purple tunes. Later, it was cassettes and then when CDs came about, we thought THAT was high tech. Cheers, lads. At 65, I still practice 2 to 4 hours EVERY day.

This kid has a way of simplifying and executing things that could seem very difficult to play at first glance and listen. Sign of a great instructor.

Awesome video! very informative and explained very well. Thank you!

My friend, many have explained it to some extent well... but you have gone beyond. You did it slowly, and you explained the details, you went into detail.
Thank you so much!!

You play these grooves with such grace and ease, man! I hope to get as good as you one day 🤩

Man that purdie shuffle sounds awesome with the hat opening into the fourth beat, thanks for teaching!

The Rosanna shuffle is the bane of my existence! Thanks for the breakdown bud, it’ll help💪

Snare sounds delightful

Insightful video. In Bernard’s video I love it when he says: “ Don’t worry bout da ghost notes! Ain’t nuttin but rebound!” Lemme splain sumtin to ya! Great shuffle demo. Thanks for sharing.

This is the best shuffle lesson I've ever seen! Well done and explained, bro!

Excellent drummer, amazing sound, awesome instructor.

Thanks for breaking these down. I want to learn that 12/8 shuffle.

The Rosanna was played nicely, nice tempo too.

Thank you for all the great stuff you share and teach.

Again, your breakdowns helps me so much!

Aw geez… I’ve been working on these for YEARS and you play them all really well.
Interestingly, I’ve just earned a slight improvement in my ability to play these grooves just by watching you play them from this camera angle. Somehow, being able to see it done properly from this viewpoint must have given my brain something it needed to decode how these are done.
Thanks boss!
😎👍👍

Didn’t realise how hard the purdie shuffle really is. Thanks for the vid

This is awesome🔥🔥🔥

Your Bonham shuffle is just right!

That was the best way to teach how to play Rosanna 😊
Thank You

Awesome drummer and a very good explanation! Keep up the good work!

Your feel is great, straight up!

My favorite particular kinds
Of shuffle are the fast swinging double
Shuffles you know Albert Collins style,
Srv style etc...

Hey ,you did an outstanding job,on demonstration of the Shuffle. Thanks..

Great video. Huge fan of Jeff Porcaro, John Bonham, Bernard Purdie, and now you. Shuffle is a spice of drumming you must have in your cupboard.

You can find this “ ghost note”pattern in the George Lawrence stone book “stick control”! 6:24
published in 1935! It’s played on the snare drum between the two hands but can be adapted to the groups it obviously I forget which page is on but it’s in the section of triplets in the George Lawrence Stone book“ stick control!”!

This was an outstanding lesson video!! Great player+great sounding drums+excellent teaching+relevant notation shown=two thumbs way up my friend!! This video should be required for all drum set students.👍🔥🔥🔥

LOVE the sound of your snare.

Really like what you are doing Bro. For me you are one of the best drum teaching master in the world. You are simply the best I learned much from you.

Thanks for help with the Purdie shuffle. Wonderful demo. CHEERS!

Love these shuffles. Gotta work on them asap!

Wow, thanks so much for this! Crystal clear in every way: verbally, visually and with a very clean notated transcription. And all in 15 minutes. Right on!

Great vid. You, sir, are very talented!!

CJ make a video where you show us how to tune the toms and snare👊🏻💯

Really tasty stuff. Absolutely gorgeous. Brilliant video. Thank you. 😀👍🏻👏🏻

Wow thank you I watched quite a few videos and I have have to say that you have really helped me and your a one-of-a-kind teacher seriously I can relate with you I look forward to watching more of your videos as you have made my day cuz you are one of my favorite teachers!!! as well Toto is my top three favorite bands as well their sound quality is top notch 15th of March I'm going to see Toto and journey here in Salt Lake hey my new friend thanks again God bless!!!

🤯 nice!

This video came in at the perfect time for me, awesome video!

Your playing is top notch and you did a great job breaking down these shuffles.🤘

“What are you doing with your life?…” haha! Love it!…… Subscribed….🤩🤘

Just one addition: it would be nice to have a jazz shuffle, Art Blakey style, as well. Basically the foundation of the Texas shuffle but more loosely swung and with different dynamics.

I love your explanations. Also in other videos. Thank you very much

Complimenti per la tua professionalità

This is perfect! I’ve got to learn a half time shuffle for an assignment in 2 weeks so I’ll take that Purdie shuffle 😅🙌🙌

Purdie makes me wanna sing Rosanna 😄

GOOD TEACHING THANK YOU

I have watched some of your videos now, and as a Swede I recognize much. Might be stuff that is common in Sweden? You have great explanations and teach very well! In "the shuffles every drummer should know" I do count in some blues shuffles (I have mainly played the blues). ZZ top with La Grange is interesting. He only does the shuffle with his left hand. His right hand goes straight on the highhat. The playing on the rim-thing, also has a shuffle feeling to it. Since it goes kind of fast, it is difficult to hear what he actually plays, but variations are possible. Anyways, I think drummers should know some blues shuffles too. All the best and keep up the good work!

Hi ! I was looking for shuffle drumming and found your video now you got a new follower ;) Great Job !!!

I love Groove lessons. I am now a fan on your channel.

Very good.. you're the best..from Indonesia here❤

Thank you so much for this

You are one smooth mother drummer! Very nice sound and feel on your shuffles! Great lesson!

Great lesson, I'm trying to improve my shuffles, so this is a timely video. Your kit sounds great as usual. Thanks, CJ... look forward to more lessons.

thanks man' I already had the foot work right , but seeing it spelled out as you have done for us , I am just going to have to put in a lot of practice to get the hi hat & ghost licks on the snare right !

Thaaankss bro🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Excellent playing. You should consider the shuffle by Frank Beard on La Grange. Killer Texas shuffle with the bass drum doubling with the left hand on the shuffle and quarter notes on the right hand.

Really fab insight into the various shuffles by breaking them down and thanks for sharing. Great playing and the tight but resonant drum sounds and clear Paiste cymbals sound really good (I mostly use Paiste 2002 and Signature).
Regards from a 67 year old 1/2 Danish drummer (hence my surname ... Lassen) based in the UK.

I got it Sir. Thank you.

Very nice! 👏 Great explanations. Love the breakdown and gradual step up to tempo. Nice work! Tasty groove too ( Bass player here 😎🤘)

On the Rosanna shuffle, I add from time to time a kick at the same time as the last snare drums just before the double kick. Jeff does it in the original song. And it gives variety to the groove. Awesome video. It tooks me a real couple of weeks, playing the Rosanna every day before mastering it. Then to groove it, it requires months. I think I m getting there now. Cheers bro and thanks for the video.

Lovely shuffle grooves! Thanks for teaching❤

As usual superb instruction, sounding awesome. Thank you so much.😀 Purdie Shuffle just wow..

Heyy Swedish,.... that's awsome,,,,,!

Hello CJ. Lots of comments here. Great vid. I play all of those, except 4 Texas shuffle. Never practiced left hand shuffle w/backbeat. I think it's hardest one. There's version of it called "swing shuffle". It's how Buddy Rich would shuffle-I don't do that either. Need to hit shed once again.

You are a born teacher . Very clear and clean explanations. BTW< You really do sound like the greats you mentioned and then some.

Shuffles change by region. For example the Texas Shuffle is a west southern style. Then you have the Detroit Shuffle, The Chicago Shuffle, The L.A. Shuffle, the New Orleans Shuffle, the Memphis Shuffle, the Atlanta Shuffle and the New York Shuffle. These Shuffles developed decades ago and really took off during the Jazz era of the 20's. Then continued to develop as music genres changed etc.. Nice sticking on the grooves !! Keep On Drumming !

Great explanation, especially on the 12/8 version! The 4/4 version I'm largely good on, I've been working Bonham's version (It's the easiest to get down IMO) As far as Porcaro's "Bo diddly" version, I'm having a hard time getting that kick pattern to flow like it should. Thanks a ton!

awesome lesson, buddy! Nailing it!!

thank you so much for this video

Good job (Thank you ขอบคุณครับ)

Solid lesson, buddy. I need to try them slowly one beat at a time haha

Well done nice sound as usual and great break down of the subtle differences between each song , it’s so cool how purdie, porcaro and bonham, have this piece of history. There is another “Sting” if I ever lose my faith in you

Sounds so good dude! Cool channel. Shuffle walking bassline will work nicely.

I looooove your drumming and your sound!

3:54 baam that’s a clean purdie shuffle.

Hey Brother, I been playin' more years than U probly been alive, and I think you're one of the best players, but more importantly *_TEACHERS_* of this beautiful art we call drums that I've ever seen! I love your sound, & ESPECIALLY that awesome snare! It's a great sound, and the haters probly got a sub- $1K electronic kit with an "808" kick & "cannon shot" flanged '80's snare patch, lol!!! 💥🥁

Fantastic Tutorial!!

This is great!!

Very good. Thanx

O.lala..awesome 🥁🔥

Achei fantástico . Alem disso você explicou tocando bem devagar.

Great, thanks!

Awesome as always!!!😊😊😊

I learned alot of u brother 😊

Good job ...💯💯

14:10 "All I wanna do when I wake up in the morning is see your eyes, Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that a girl like you could ever care for me, Rosanna"
This part of the vid shoulda been a sing-a-long...

Wow! I'm from Texas and I'm very proud that we actually have a shuffle named after us! :) I always just called it a shuffle, I guess since I'm FROM Texas. I mean, I never really added the "Texas" part. I guess it's like Old Fashioned Oatmeal. I doubt it was called "Old Fashioned" back in the old days. They probably just called it Oatmeal. Just like I called it a Shuffle. Oh well. Good day everyone!

I need this lesson

U. Best of best❤❤❤

Nice to🎉

Surely man you are gifted, yet am a beginner I still got your explaination on them shaffles... hoping to much upto to your talent 😅
