This Is The Steve Gadd Shuffle Drum Beat Lesson
Let’s check out a Steve Gadd style shuffle drum beat because….well anything that Steve Gadd gives a magical twist to is worth investigating. If you’re new to the world of shuffles then you might like to check out Blues Shuffle 101 Course which starts from the beginning and delves deep with various shuffle grooves and fills as well as a drumless playalong track.
You could also grab this blues shuffle backing track so you have something to use to make your blues shuffle beats more musical and fun.
But here we are breaking down a more advanced shuffle drum groove. Steve Gadd is a master of taking something very familiar and giving it a twist to make it fresh and new.
The standard way to execute a shuffle is to play the full shuffle pattern on one sound source such as a hi-hat or ride cymbal. On this blues shuffle Gadd splits the shuffle pattern between the hi-hat foot pedal and the ride cymbal. This has a subtle change in the feel and emphasis of that pattern and also frees up your right hand to play variations.
