[DrummerMike2708]

Only this man can pull off wearing that EPIC Polo!!!!!

[FrankonKX96]

Something that never needs to be splained is that Purdie is such a smooth Mutha F*cka on the kit.

[recon375]

why is there always someone who wants to compare purdy with portnoy?

it's the same as comparing copeland with haake they are heroes in theyre own right but cannot be compared!

[DSCRAPRE]

The.....ghost notes! D:

[Limited113495]

haha so awesome.. "Not Explain, But I'ma splain to you" and he goes like haha ooh man,... do you feel that?! and there's this shuffle.. so awesome

[thejolf]

[GonzoDrummer27]

Laughing makes the best drum fill.

[trumpetnbass]

[herefordmsv]

Loving his laugh

[kAmi9teen8y5]

[andrewbautista23]

[erickBUENO2009]

this is the exact feeling when you love music

[OmarH26]

i dont wish i had his drum skills... i only wish i had his laugh!!!

[justanotheraustrlian]

My life goal now is to be at least HALF as happy as this man is.

[Jungleritter]

That's some great humour!

[KodieGregory]

He is one cocky mother fucker, but he has a damn good reason to be, he earned the right to be :)

[shortbuspileup]

1 person is Mike Portnoy.

[DCSIGNR]

@shortbuspileup Genius comment. Great shame Purdie didn't jam with his namesake bassist, Bernard Edwards. Or did they?

[gleventhal]

@shortbuspileup Don't you mean Jeff Pocaro?

[rockstar59678]

@gleventhal he probably means bonham, he's most notable for using it in fool in the rain which sounds alot like purdie at 1:24 , pocaro and bonham are both known for the half time shuffle, alot of people fight over who did it first, but theres no reason to fight, the fact is that the shuffle is there not who made it

[Typenice]

@shortbuspileup or somnone who thought John Bohnam was the only one to do this type of groove

[PsycoLunatik]

@shortbuspileup Another person is joey jordison

[DreamStuffed]

@shortbuspileup well, it would be a bit hard for 2 people to be Mike Portnoy

[kook1028]

@shortbuspileup thats just incredibly ignorant, they play completely different styles, mike portnoy is a good drummer, along with MANY other drummers out there. Get over it!

[shortbuspileup]

@kook1028 It was sarcasm. No need to get mad.

[kook1028]

@shortbuspileup you need to brush up on what sarcasm looks like...

[shortbuspileup]

@kook1028 Well, considering 71 other people got it, I think you're the one who needs to brush up. Just enjoy the video. Purdie is more entertaining than this argument.

[kook1028]

@shortbuspileup your statement was farfetched, not sarcasm. I think the 71 people who "got it" dont like Portnoy...i know what sarcasm is, im not stupid...

[Jimmygoodein]

1:24 - "oh"

[razor131001]

this guy  is having sex with his drumset....

[jman40194]

@razor131001 and thats how drums are supposed to be played :D lmao

[leahlu15]

this guy was my drum teachers drum teacher!

[monsterzero415]

This guy prolly lays serious pipe!

[bveracka]

I LOVE THIS GUY thank you for posting this. I know it's on drummerworld but this dude can shuffle like no one's business, seriously. If you can't shuffle at least a little bit you're not a good drummer.

[ShiftStyle]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAF!!!!!

[TheGogo9er]

Nice snare drum.

[Metalingus]

1 person is a dick.

[Roddeo29]

1 person doesn't know what the Purdie shuffle is all about.

[WORMED3]

I Love this man!!! What heart and charisma ;^D ..."HALF! notes..." X^D

[lilejamie93]

SPLAINED! i love Bernard Purdie!! heyy hoo!LMAO!

[CrazyLeCarlson]

1 person needs this 'splained to them.

[Chaddwell]

it's also...HALF!!!

[ROCKSTARCRANE]

Probably the most egotistical musician living, but....he puts his playing where his mouth is. I personally believe he was the drummer on several Beatles tunes including "I FEEL FINE".

[AFatGuyNamedPete]

@ROCKSTARCRANE Either that or Ringo was better than most people are willing to admit -)

[adoll000]

lol that man LOVES drums.

[yonatawodi]

Purdie's the man!

[LeopoldGold1]

He makes me happy... I love this guy!! Ha,ha!

[MrJheman]

the 1 person who disliked is dead now

[ggill1970]

@MrJheman haha - i love this comment.

[snooters]

.. it's also HAAAAALF notes.

[thedrumman7]

To All:

I have noticed some drummers actually DOUBLE tap their snare (on the 2nd and 3rd note of each triplet rather than only on the 2nd note) during the shuffle. For a good example see MVKbzLW6HQ0 video and go to :53 into the solo and watch his left hand closely-it sounds awesome. BTW you have to set the viewing down to 240p (from the default 360p) to hear this for some strange reason. (Curious what you think!)

-Drumman

[Urtleteudede]

@snooters oh my god yes.

[ajblasing]

I love to hear him speak just as much as I love to hear him play, everything from the heart ! Purdie is THE MAN!!!!

[sh4ne]

i love his insidious cackle while he's splainin'

[Ahlstroem2]

He's so fucking good, but also so fucking hilarious!

[R3v3r3nds]

1 person hit the wrong button

[DrumRehab]

1:23 ooh lol

[chancedrums]

splain it!

[BleedingWalls420]

You know somethin? Its also HAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLPH!!!!!.....­............notes.

lol this guy rules.

[jemmani22]

its also HAAAAAAAALFFFFFFFFFFF notes

[beefjaba]

Oh look 1 fucktard missed the like button...

[jurrien22]

@beefjaba It was the guy Mr. Purdie beat out for the job like 50 years ago!!!! lol

[TheRealGodIsComing]

This looks easy, now play it.

Tell me when you quit. :]

[djslipdisk]

What a guy! always makes me smile when I here Purdie play and I love his personality too.

[jokerjun1]

Grooviest mothafucka on earth!

[lonelegion]

ahh mah splain tuh ya

[high0nfire]

I could watch a weekly TV show where this guy just has fun on the kit and tells his stories. I hope I'm as happy as him at that age!

[pampdog]

BP simply channels the groove, son. Period.

[halldors78]

great, and he looks like a black Roger Dangerfield :)

[proto35]

HHHAAAALLLFF.... notes. haha gotta love his personality

[Dubconferencedotorg]

good eLearning stuff :D

[cantthink0f0ne]

i also wish he was my grandpa

[jonanjello]

badazz

[tailback43]

The cornbread is in the oven.

[AnthonyDavid94]

Hehe evil laughs...

[jonneb21]

Old black dudes are funny (not a racist comment you tube).

[NoisePolice]

@LiveYungDieFast you don't know what I mean when I say BAD then

[klank67]

... one thing he doesn't tell ya is that he's 'pumping' his highhat on the triplet ever so slightly which just grooves the hell out of this beat .... man that's tasty!

[NoisePolice]

THIS IS BAD!

[LiveYungDieFast]

@NoisePolice you dont know drumming then.

[Croatch]

@NoisePolice You've got a lot to learn about drumming. And more to learn about music. Good luck.

[NoisePolice]

@Croatch when I say BAD, I mean GOOD (how can I make this any more clear?). You guys are thick

[Croatch]

@NoisePolice Hard to read sarcasm, when reading comments briefly.

You are correct, Bernard Purdie is one BAD man:)

I stand corrected.

[NoisePolice]

@Croatch now we in agreement!

[Crazyegg1234]

it's also, HALFFFFF.............. notes.

[UsedNewsToday]

Such a spirit in him. I saw him in Anaheim last year and he is amazing.

[ikhaathippies]

i only see his red shirt!

[TheMarquistador]

@thecravenator42069 your comment totally cracked me up, cuz I was laughing at that line already!

[ZINCOVIX8754]

the coolest laid back man on earth

[goldenhopper]

What a great man!

[Kenteman]

If everyone had the attitude of Bernard Purdie, the world would be a better place to be.

[stroketheboat]

search "kutiman purdie" and check out the remix of this - legnedary!

[stroketheboat]

There is a chap called KUTIMAN who does a fantastic remix of this with some guitar - I cant find it, but its on YT somewhere and WELL worth a look! :)

[willplez]

Hahaha! I love how at 1:43 he uses a laugh as a sort of fill!

[KawzKaos]

omfg I love him.

[jamastermike]

i met him friday!!!!!!!! =DDDDDDD

[iamanalogaudio]

and as long as you "BOOOOOM" groooooove

[reverseengine]

Genius.

[mani1mann]

What a legend!!

[grandmothersfunck]

@ neechee5150 :

his middle name is "Pretty" ! :-)

[dillipod7]

its also HALLFFFF.....notes.....

[neechee5150]

When has any music instructor/professor ever had so much fun teaching students how to master their instrument. Purdie is a amazing, and his middle name should be Groove!!

[xjerseyballer23x]

as long as you..........Groove. lol this is the definition of smoothe

[ricardodrumz]

"its quaters HAEhaehae"

lol cool laugh

[JD101PRO]

this kinda sounds like the beat from Zeppelin's fool in the rain song

[SH3L70N]

@JD101PRO This is where Bonzo got it from

[RyQuin7850]

@JD101PRO It IS the beat from Fool in the Rain =] Bonham credits Bernard Purdie for giving him the idea!

[metarocks81]

lemme splain to yall: i love that laughing :-)

[oskarveliky]

As we can see, Mr. Purdie, there is nothing more simple than playing drums :-D

[atty1chgo]

He is so full of himself. Ain't so "Pretty" are you? What a condescending fucking attitude. Isn't this the guy that claims to have been drumming on all of the Beatle's early hits in place of Ringo? What a fat ass blowhard.

[adamvbass93]

I wish i was him.

[MK88Ultra]

lemme axe yall bout the purdie shuffle?

[DilutePeople]

His laugh at 1:42 is priceless<3

[lostfeelinggonegone]

[schnozz87]

No idea what in the hell the 'splaination means, but that is the single best groove of all time.

[ParnvoL]

it's also HALF...notes

[pokeisthermz250rider]

i wish i had his laugh and his drum skill

[The311Junkie]

I wish he was my grandpa.

[robmeaduk]

Just look at those ghosts, so subtle..

[wackojacko18]

Brilliant Shuffle, Brilliant Drummer, My Favorite Shuffle Along With The Bonham Shuffle !

[Zaul2410]

@rumbaparumbero you must be a drummer don't you?

[Antiks72]

That's the sexiest shuffle beat ever.

[command66]

Do you really believe that such a drummer as Bernard doesnt know what a Quarter note is?

[rumbaparumbero]

Yeah he doesn't know and apparently you don't either, so let me break it down for you: A shuffle can either be counted in 12/8 or 4/4 time. Going with the pulse that Purdie calls the quarter note, he's dealing with 4/4 time. Given that, what he calls 'eighth notes' are actually triplets. What he calls "sixteenths" and really sextuplets. What he calls "dotted" are again triplets, and his "triplets" are sextuplets.

Basically this is all math and you can groove without it... case and point Purdie

[rumbaparumbero]

But if you are serious about understanding this for the purpose of learning to read music (a great skill to have in the industry) then I suggest you disregard anything Purdie trys to "Splain" to you and just learn from what he actually plays

[drum6banger]

HE IS COUNTING IN 12/8!!! dude thank you iwas racking my brain trying to count this and how i couldnt figure it out.. appreciate it

[cami7700]

This is the coolest guy ever :D

[sourboydrummer]

as long as you groove

[foketesz]

Im white and Im a drummer, but I wanna say this: please, give me a black drummer !!!!!!! what a joy!

[WyldeSDMF]

Lmao this guy is awesome!

[Masterfilm15]

hey ppl of utube who digs this feel,,, check the video response

its a rock band from the sticks ,,, the drummer is using that beat in a heavy swamp rock tune,,,,

[xXxkrisxXx]

Legend! The one and only :)
