In Part 4, it’s time to expand the Rhythms we’re playing on the kick drum during our 1/2 Time Shuffle Workout. Today’s PDF download is going to introduce the last two triplets as a possibility. There’s still no ghost notes on the snare, just a solid beat 3 for the backbeat. Be patient, this stuff gets challenging!
It’s time to continue our journey into the Funk Shuffle Groove. Today we’re going to expand our rhythms on the kick by introducing the “e” and the “a”. Don’t forget to download the PDF for 12 one bar patterns to workout with. Remember, even though you’re reading 16th notes, be sure and swing the patterns for the Funk Shuffle feel.
For Part 1 we put together a Linear Groove that consists of a 3 beat sticking pattern that repeats to make a one bar groove. At the end of the lesson we worked on accenting every single hit on the snare drum. Today we’re going to begin accenting every 2 note combination within the groove. There are a total of 10. Today’s lesson will take a look at the first 5. Enjoy!
In today’s lesson it’s time to expand our Rhythms that we’re playing on the kick drum to include the last two triplets. For now keep the shuffle hi-hat pattern with no ghost notes on the snare, just a solid 2 and 4 back beat. Note placement can get a little tricky here so be patient! Enjoy.
Today’s lesson is going to expand our concept of slipping 32nd note combinations between the kick, snare and hi-hat in a groove setting. In Part 1 we started the flow off of a backbeat. Now in Part 2 the combination will start off of a kick drum hit. Remember to slow this stuff down at first! Enjoy.
In Part 4, we’re going to look at the concept of playing two 16th notes back to back on the kick drum. We’re still keeping steady 8th’s on the hi-hat with 2 & 4 on the snare. The PDF download will provide you with 12 one bar grooves to practice. For anyone just getting into this concept, this is a great chop builder for your kick drum foot. Enjoy!
For todays groove concept, we’re going to keep the same hand pattern but now move the hi-hat part over to the Ride. After adding every & or upbeat on the hi-hat with your foot, it’s time to download the PDF file and start getting busy reading rhythms with the kick drum. This one can get challenging. Enjoy!
This lesson will begin our journey into 16th Note Triplet Funk Groove ideas. We’re going to be breaking up the patterns between kick, snare and hi-hat. Today’s idea will be based off of the Paradiddle-Diddle. Enjoy!
In today’s lesson we’re going to continue to break the Rhythms up between the kick and snare. This time though, the snare will play all quarter notes and the kick will play all of the last triplet figures.
For Part 3, we’re going to expand the Hi-Hat pattern with our left foot. We’re keeping the same hand pattern with the ride playing straight 8th notes with 2 & 4 on the snare. This time though our left foot will play every “&” or up beat on the Hi-Hat while your kick drum works out by reading the rhythms from the PDF download. This one can get a little tricky….Enjoy!
