[rico123453]

[mattlevell1994]

[JekloppeMitStoecken]

Wanted to go to bed early but first I need to figure this out.....This was really a great help, thank you!

[TeenageTitFreaks]

is that really your voice? helpful lesson tho

[iioha1]

oh god!

you`re a god!

[paulard666]

My shuffle doesnt quite sound like this are you supposed to accent on the last hit of the triplet on the hi hat...1 and A or is it 1 and a

[drummerdude2222]

its 1 a 2 a 3 a 4 a... jus listen 2 the begginning again.... ull get it....

[shadowskillz88]

I love your voice!! It reminds me of Kermit the Frog!! :) thanks for the lesson I'll be practicing this like crazy

[O1445]

Me too! But great lesson!

[BayonneNick]

lol, skills tho

[markotd44]

Very good video my friend. Best on the net hands down! The end fill was a disgusting auditory masterpiece completely saturated in funk... loved it.

[cleric252]

great vid man... best expaination i've found crystal clear

[nevermeant12]

thanks a lot i was having trouble with this beat and the vid cleared everything up.

[Tb0neZ5]

i love your voice

[Ratamaswiss]

Nicely explained. Very easy to follow. Well done.

[hebronsawyers]

Marvin the martian !

[YoungInfrared]

Nice. I kinda suspect you're consciously trying to channel the Swedish Chef character from the Muppets, but uh, I feel like I actually learned something. Thanks.

[geoff11752]

Really impressive, thank you for the clear explanation. How are you playing what sounds like a 4 stroke roll at 2.18? 2kicks 1 tom 1 snare? Sounds fabulous.

[rullante]

yes !! 2 kicks (double padal in this video), 1 tom and 1 snare!

[uhoh38125]

is it the same thing to play sixlets and accent in the right place? theres no double sticking in it this way....

[DrummerboyBD94]

hey, it's adam, i'm marching with carlos next year

[welshboyjonny]

he must of got bullied

[pensivechild]

so this is what kermit the frog does now

[pacifusion]

clearly explained! haha

i agree on the 1-tree-plet 2-blahh.. being troublesome =D cheers

[kyjello12]

so theres a ghost note on the snare right after the accent?! this is madness. ive been trying to wrap my brain arround this groove for like 4 months but cant seem to get it.

[primamater]

DADADADA

[gordonjlightfoot]

Very helpful. Just one critiqie.

You describe triplets as counted...One-Trip-Let, Two-Trip-Let..but switched to counting your triplets as One-And-Ah, Two-And-Ah...

confusing to an amateur trying to follow along.

[benjaminwiseman]

Yes, But at 40 sec I explain why I do this cause saying One-Trip-Let, Two-Trip-Let...etc is a mouthful!!! Thanks and enjoy

[kclemas]

Hey bro, Can i ask what sanre your using?

Btw thanks for the lession, kick ass x

[adicobai]

10x mate 4 da lesson

[futureBLU]

if that's your real voice, it's a damn good thing you're a good drummer.

[rastajigz]

is that voice serious??

[doctordrums8]

no. in real life he talks nothing like that.

[DaveyBoy22211]

I never knew kermit the frog could drum...

[froggpond1]

Kermit is an honorary member of the Froggpond1

[kazt7]

jajaja rare voice

[mapexmadman]

There's no way you actually talk like that dude!!! That's insane!!

[Warehouse0127]

hahah

[DrummerboyBD94]

he doesn't.

[jaalckex]

haha listen to kermit say triplet hahah pissing my pants

[babsaloops]

i think its played too fast....how do you accent the snare on beat three when that beat falls on the hihat???

[surleydrum]

i think it was just fine annnd u need to learn to count i guess cuz hi hat is played with snare on three dumb shit thats how u play drums??? snare and hi hat on 3 is the standard for all beats

[babsaloops]

who the fuk are u calling a dumb shit???it was a question knobhead.....iv seen other instruction videos and they are far easier than this....shithead

[surleydrum]

im calling you a dumbshit lol cuz u cant count to four and just cuz u dont understand the video that doesnt meen he played to fast he slowed it waaay down for ya

[babsaloops]

i can count to four dumb ass..stop being knob...your comment was fine...but dont so nasty by adding a dumb shit in there....

[69PapaSmurf]

dude thats crazy my name is ben wiseman too and i also play the drums thats really random. i like that beat u got it down tight.

[markaim23]

did he just sau half-time shovel?!LMAO

hahahahaha

[ZildjianDrummer244]

Nice sound quality

[beefjerky3]

Good quick video, to the point, and the instructions are easy to understand and put into practice. Keep the voice!

[greenclover93]

THANK YOU!

[delacerdaa]

Is that Kermit the Frog drumming? LOL

[mapexmadman]

It's KERMIT!!! Great Video though dude.

[mission100uk]

you sound like kermit the frog..or russian gangster, but very well explained.. funny!

[sdrury123]

Oh my gosh, you are awesome. I wish you could give me lessons. Thanks for sharing what you know on youtube so the rest of us can dream of being like you!

[tagapagtambol]

great drumming. What's with the muppet voice? : )

[beagleman123456789]

Great Drumming, it sounds like are a Bonham fan ie "Fool in the Rain"

[zoom598]

thank you very much! this is one of the best videos for learning the half-time shuffle i've seen here on youtube!! thanks

[Barbosa123]

You sound like kirmit the frog!!!! hahaha, this was awsome man, great lesson and one of my all time favorite grooves.

[ikillmonkeys123456]

Excellent groove my man! Can I ask...all ghost are played on the 'trip' of one, trip, let? The on beat three the snare is hit followed by a ghost? So is it 2 snare hits immediately together? so...3 trip let...where the '3' is a beat and the 'trip' a ghost and the 'let' a hi hat? Hope this is clear LOL!?

[benjaminwiseman]

YES!!! You have it, that is correct, beat 3 is the hardest because of the double stroke, Good luck!!

[tophermonkey]

real nice grooooooove man i'm gonna go play it now i couldn't play it by ear but once you broke it down its a piece of piss. thanks

[aaron24ii]

i can almost play this... but i have trouble with the feel of the ghosts... what makes this half time? because of where the loud snare hits?

[benjaminwiseman]

Hey, what makes it half time is the snare lands on beat 3. If the snare landed on 2,4 it would be a staight ahead pop shuffle. I hope this helps, just play it slow at first while counting triplets then bring it up to speed....Good Luck!!!

[aaron24ii]

thanks man, i've finally got it. this has to be one of my favorite grooves.

[rush30th]

Very helpful!! thanks

[gnomesayindesign]

Good break down of the technique. I've seen a few other half time shuffle instructional videos on youtube, your playing has the best feel by far.

[freedrum]

Thanks for breaking that down for us. Now only to get to it and learn it. Also, it looked like you were in a recording studio, that mirror looks like a window of the control room with someone in it. Of course i figured out its actually you afterwards. LoL
