Dude - the bass drum and snare never hit together on 4 during that groove like you are demoing here. It's just the snare on 4... Other than that, nice job.

[MisterMR44]

@thegougeman Yeah... I'm starting to realise that everyone plays this groove different. Even Jeff himself!!

I based my demo on Jeff's break down of that groove on his instructional video (if you search YouTube, you'll find clips of it) where he appears to play the kick and snare on 4. I know... it's not like that on the original recording... but anyway! That video is where I got my info from.

[thegougeman]

@MisterMR44 Yeah, I went and saw his break down of this beat even though on the original the kick is not there. Regardless bro - you still have an excellent feel on this song. You nailed the shuffle. Keep drummin my man...

[MisterMR44]

@thegougeman Hey, thanks dude!

[MrZilippo]

thank you very much

@MrZilippo

Thanks for the positive comment!

With regards to my trigger settings they are as standard / default. I haven't changed them at all.

[CHEAPTHRILLONTHETUBE]

Your technique is so solid, always fun to watch!

[Loutjuh1991]

I bought the TD-9kx + twinpedal today, it's freakin' awesome !!!!! i REALLLYYY like it .... so many options etc. !!

@d0bbb Dude, just listen to the original tune.. The bass drum and snare never hit together... Jeff may have modified it later on during live performances, but the original recording the bass drum and snare are always separate during the groove.. Just give the intro a listen again on the original recording and you'll see that we are right....Jeff even said that he did it both ways during a clinic....

[d0bbb]

@thegougeman : you are wrong, the bass and snare hit together on 4. Why dont you listen to Jeffs Rosanna groove explained.

[SamKillickProduction]

Sounds so good! Great work, please keep the videos up! Inspirational. (16 year old drummer)

[Komodovaranen]

That is so clean! Many props, that sounds great. The way I learned it I play both kick and snare on the 4 the second time, but only the snare on the first time.

Great accents and timing man!! Except the real intro goes Snr-Snr Tom1 Crash...Not Snr-Tom1-Tom3...This is the real album version. But great video. Thanks!

[studsesquire]

you are correct with your bass and snare hitting at the same time... Jeff explains this a a bass drum bo didley, and he plays them together as well. GREAT JOB!
