How To Make A Shuffle Sound Cool
Learn how to play cool shuffle drum beats
Here we will learn how to make a shuffle sound cool. This is a small section of a longer lesson for members inside the Total Drummer Academy.
In case you don’t know, a shuffle drum beat is based on the triplet subdivision so it is swung. Commonly the backbeat falls on beats two and four but here we will explore different snare placements to make the beat sound interesting.
In fact this particular variation gives it a sound that has Afro-Cuban favours so it’s a lot of fun.
The drum lesson is only six minutes long so you’ll be up and running with this beat in no time.
