Groove Essentials 2.0: Groove 57

[Gunesseedrummer]

Love watching this dude drum, he feels it right down to his bones:)

[thejamman555]

Its nice to see that hes playing almost a half time shuffle groove, but hes not playing the shuffle constantly on the hats, interesting choice

[sabadoadrianovich]

thank you very much: Many people do not know the real name of this pattern. and the term "Shuffle" confuses me

I was looking for the SNL closing song (rock waltz Swing "waltz in a") and ask for the rhythm, but nobody knew the answer ...

Thanks again!!!

[gutchera1]

1 person thinks joey jordison is the best at drums.

[ThomasMetal75]

I could imagine Toto playing this song!

[zzzzzushi]

fool in the rain.



[Hannahrox347021]

Who's the loser who disliked this?

[Easleytee]

I was playing this shit when I was 15. I'm now 58.

[ThomasMetal75]

@Easleytee Your point!?!?! Good music is good no matter what are you are!

[Edwardo1993]

Purdie shuffle!! The best grooves are stolen!

[Jesses84]

What kind of hi-hats is Tommy using?

[easonsiu]

@Jesses84 left is the 14" K custom Session HH; right is the 12" A Special Recording HH~=]

[et720]

Sounds like the Fool in the Rain groove

[davss5]

@et720 For the triplet part leading up to the backbeat, I thought the same thing

[drummakid101]

A Quick Question: What's more dependable In-Ear Phones or Outer-Ear Headphones? I see a lot of Drummers like Igoe, Weckl, Chambers, Harrison, etc. Use In-Ear Phones but, then I get a lot of recommendations on Outer-Ear Headphones.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

That's all in preference. You can have the in-ears or cans, which ever feels better to you.

[TheHydroponica]

wow yeah i really hate people who think this is from john mayer. john mayer plays some blues, so he needs his drummer to play some blues beats FROM THE PAST

[Gernads]

@TheHydroponica We all are pretty much playing ideas from the past...just infusing our own twists on it...

And I'm pretty sure Steve Jordan and J. J. Johnson know how to handle themselves. lol

[BrainDamage769]

Sounds kind of like an altered Purdie Shuffle, I like it.

[ticklevids]

As Tommy says in the book, this beat has been around forever. It was around for a long, long time before John Mayer was even born. It's amazing how people only know what they know and think it all started with themselves. Learn some history!

[shadow9Ox]

this is the drum beat too gravity by john mayer

[ThisIsMyFridge2]

Man, I think this is kinda a rip off of John Mayer's Daughters, but no ofense to Tommy Igoe, Love him!!

[puppyspud]

It's funny you should say that, because it sounds like that song. But, this chord progression and feel were around WAY before John mayer. He just had a hit with it so most people have heard it.

Actually, this simple chord progression is one of the most common sequences in popular music. If you listen for it, you'll notice it everywhere. That's all those years of piano lessons coming out! :)

[f2theorrest]

omg ur right!!

[naedsukram]

common progression, also sound like a jeff Buckley song.

[cruzebaby]

@ThisIsMyFridge2 This Melody/Beat was out wayyyyyyyy before john mayer's Daughters song....

[whiteboyedmund]

does anyone know the size of the hybrid ride on his right? thanks

[angusbeefoo]

looks like a 21 to me but yeah sounds like sex man

[inimicalODDITY]

he's such a pro, playing wise and teaching wise.

[ocdrumboy1]

whats the point of playing it on the electric kit at the end? you can hardly hear it... sounds like a variation of john mayers tune for sure... i also like the comment of jeff porcaro out of love... you cant hear a shuffle like this and not think of jeff porcaro...another great shuffle of jeffs like this is "these chains" check it!

[percusmann]

I think he plays it on electric kit because there are a lot of people ( like me) who can't play acoustic drums in their house. I'm glad he did it, it makes me feel like I'm not alone. Nothing sounds like acoustic though, that's for sure.

[splashy44]

yeh i agree, even tho i don't own an E/kit anymore it would be really benificial to e/players cos u can feel a little detached, i know i did when i had s set.

[SnareBuff]

I think percusmann is right. Playing the electric set shows that for those that have sound limitations where they live, it sounds perfectly ok played on an electronic set.

I myself have those same sound limitations due to where I live, and an electric set makes practicing a much more available thing, and also it doesn't annoy my neighbors who don't share the same passion.

[ZacharyMEdwards]

MINI TOMMYIGOE!

[b3rnar2]

song like toto out of love

[shanghaiKISS02]

TI is awesome!

[felipecabeca]

Sounds like John Mayer's "Daughters". Nice groove!

[Spudbass]

@felipecabeca Exactly the same chord sequence

[USMCdrummer06]

@felipecabeca Same progression. Good choice of songs, Tom!

[persini]

awesome grooving, love the snare

[Trentinja88]

great groove... i shall put it in my tool bag of useful grooves..
