Hi G, thanks for watching glad you liked my videos. That ride is a K custom Dry ride 21" I actually just sold that one. It's a nice dry ride great for recording cya P

Drummers are judged on their shuffles, most cannot do it well. Flexibility is key in this day and age.

Cool stuff but the mic is off? Audio while speaking is rather bad.

Good stuff but he looses it in a few places. Get out the metronome!

Thanks for a great video Phil. Simple and easy to practice, then apply. I appreciate your help.

Phil, this is not a basic shuffle beat, its pretty advanced.

This is a Texas shuffle, a Chicago shuffle would be more basic and much easier for beginners.

F**kin beautiful man. Great playing and splainin'. Love that old Rogers kit too. This is one of the best drum instructional vids on the interwebs, I hope them kids are listenin.

Very nice. This is pretty much the only instructional video for shuffles on youtube that actually shows the proper way to play a shuffle (which isn't a good thing -- it'd be great if all of the other teachers and players knew how to do this). The gig advice is also completely correct -- a musician with a blues background will never hire a drummer who can't play a real shuffle.
