  • Hey whats the differences between Half-Time Shuffle and The Purdie Shuffle?

  • @ArtoTheLouis: The Purdie shuffle is a Half-Time shuffle.

  • very nicely explained, i found it better explained than the jeff's rosanna's shuffle! :) gonna nail it tomorrow on my kit :D

  • @WusshA: thanx

  • I'm kind of a novice drummer. I feel like I get this but I'm not entirely sure how to count it. I can get to the accent on 3 but then I seem to loose it between sticking it and counting it- 1anduh 2anduh 3anduh- I keep feeling like I have an extra right left over after. If you could shed any light on this I'd greatly appreciate it. Also, the accent on the down beat of three is together with the right hand, yes?

  • try counting in triplets 1 tu tu 2 tu tu 3 tu tu 4 tu tu

    the Right hand and the Left hand play together on 3 and the second tu of 3.

  • Best explanation on yuotube, thank you man!

  • Its the placement of the bass drum in different configurations that makes it tough for some, me included. I think of Jeff Porcaro's beat in Rosanna and John Henry Bonham's go in Fool in the Rain.

  • Could you please upload the score/sheet of this exercise? it would be much better for us all. or is there a website where I can download exercises like this? would appreciate your help, you're very good teacher

  • @ArtoTheLouis A half-time shuffle is simply a triplet based groove played with a RlrRlrR sticking pattern.  In half time, you would add a back-beat on 3. The Purdie-Shuffle is simply Bernard Purdie's take on the half time shuffle.

  • mY DRUM MACHINE WOULD BLOW THIS GUY OUT OF THE WATER....

  • Extremely well explained and built up. I have subscribed off the back of this.

  • @uwepetersen Cool but its a kind of confusing

  • Thanks Man,People like you make learning a pleasure
