Learning the Purdie Shuffle moved me from the depths of frustration as a novice drummer to a confident player having much more fun. It gave me a completely new understanding of groove, and allowed me to incorporate its principles into many other styles of playing. Thank God for the Purdie Shuffle!
I'm genuinely not exaggerating when I tell you that for the better half of a decade, I have been trying to find a way to help my brain understand and process the mechanics of this specific groove. That fundamental breakdown was so helpful, it allowed me to tie everything together. It's like I just leveled-up or something 😂
"So what you're going to do is start with the Spang-a-Lang and then you're going to tell the Spang to go take a Union break or somethin' ..." Cracked me up. I'm dead.
After not playing drums for nearly 20 years i recently picked up the sticks again. I discovered this guy after trying to figure out how to play doubles properly and now im on the way to being able to shuffle properly. Love this channel!
Yep...you NAILED it. My jazz swing sucks! I always knew that, but. FINALLY a Purdie Shuffle lesson that focuses on how to get better at THAT, and then builds from there. My dude...love your channel, and your teaching style.
New old drummer here. Just found you scrolling around and am sure glad I did. 'Was' a drummer many moons ago and had some chops. Now as an older guy I'd like to become as well rounded as I can and your vids inspire that. Can't say how much it's appreciated when you break down stuff like this so I can find the count easily. I literally walked from my PC down to the kit and did a half decent shuffle right out of the bag. Look forward to seeing and hearing more from you, will be taking some of this down to blue tooth into the elec. kit. It's really frustrating as a guy who used to play to have it in the head but not be able to get it out. Your vids have really aided the motor coordination company again. Thank you kindly.
Really enjoyed just watching you PLAY this one. Rob. You broke down this one better than all others I've seen. Right on about the left hand. He's just going slide in there when the hi hat and bass start thier dialog. Great one today.
This entire video is amazing, but that 12/8 at the end really sealed the deal. And is there anyone you love watching play than Bernard Purdie? I don't think anyone else ever experienced more joy when playing drums.
Getting back to drums after 14 years off. I need to learn this shuffle. I think I have been playing it by feel without understanding it. This is very helpful. Beautiful Drums by the way!
Rob Brown is a very generous teacher. He will not miss even the smallest detail. I have some difficulties getting the speed up with the important right hand shuffle. But I guess it is mostly a technical and routine 'problem'.
Man you made me realize the ghost notes on the snare were just the "and" or the 3 part of the triplet, like my mind just couldn't see it that way, thank you so much I discovered your channel through this video and you are amazing
DUDE NO FREAKIN WAY! I just learned it while watching your video!!! THX SO MUCH Rob Brown!! This really improved my groove! It's time to experiment with it..
My man beat down Brown I'm telling you I've been playing drums on and off for 10 years and I always wondered how do drummers get such a tight pocket groove like that I appreciate it just this one groove helps tie everything I know together perfectly thank u your a great teacher please 🙏 keep it up peace and love brother ✊🏾
Pro drummers get that tight pocket by practicing for hours a day & then playing five shows a week & maybe a couple of recording sessions in-between...Definitely no time for another job..."on & off" wont cut it>
I was always a metal drummer, and recently I've been branching out more on the drums to learn some of the basics I missed. I have been trying to get certain shuffles down, and to absolutely no success. I always thought it was my left hand playing too loud, and hard focused that but for some reason the shuffles I play still sound very stiff. I have had success with the jazz swing, but only on very low volume dynamics. I grabbed my practice pad and realized my right hand has been muscling out each stroke on the 'a-lang' part thanks to this video. Thank you Rob Brown! I have been stuck in the mud on these and I finally have something to work on to make them better, and I couldn't find instructions elsewhere that really covered this. I already am seeing a difference because it softens the 'a' part of the 'a-lang', and now my right hand is starting to understand that loose characteristic.
Look up Tony Allen. He talks about how he NEVER bangs his drums cuz he sees his drums as a woman he loves. But when you see him drum, he sounds dynamic af. He was Fela Kuti's drummer.
You nailed it! I recently watched a video on the history of the shuffle. It comes from the sound of a steam locomotive shuffling down the tracks. The high hat / ride cymbal "spang-a-lang" is the pistons in the engine driving the whole thing.
82ND AIRBORNE Happy birthday Amigo!! My birthday is on June 16...60 years ese!! I've been playing a kit now for approximately 20 months?? Your content is solid.
Ok now. MIND BLOWN. I was a pop session drummer in Hollywood in the 80’s & 90’s working with Grammy artists and SUCKED playing a shuffle. Good thing I was only called upon once for a rock shuffle and it worked out . I would call someone else if it were a song that I needed to swing on:-( it was better to lose out on $$$ then embarrass myself. However I’ve dropped out of music in the mid 90’s and just now want to play again (just practice for fun) and I now believe BECAUSE OF YOU SIR, I suspect I will finally be able to swing and shuffle. Yay. You’ve unlocked the Rosetta Stone for shuffles . I can’t wait to try your method. I’m excited to play drums again .
Thank you for your great explanation and breakdown, I finally managed to learn the purdie shuffle after years without playing drums, I sat down and watched your vídeo and it went through. Now I just need to practice more and polish it and work on the variations. But thank you very much, your video really helped me.
He man Good explanation! I have played in a reggae band for 25 years, this drum riddim looks like a halfdrop . The swing feeling is about the same. Had a workshop from Jim Chapin ones, he talked about the muller techniek. One hit going down one in the middle and one going up. I would play the first and the last .thanx for sharing 👊
Rob is a great teacher, and unlike so many other shuffle instruction videos - he correctly reveals the true secret here... it's the right hand finger motion.
This guy is awesome at instructing that applies to all levels...I was first impressed with rim shots...after giving up playing decades ago and coming back to it now...and the 70s when I played was all about rim shots being accents not the constant...I could not maintain constant accuracy of rim shots until Mr. Brown gifted the way to measure height of the snare...Man... that so instantly worked I've been a fan ever since...Happy B day...
Just coming across your page. I've been learning the basics for a year (sheet music, rudiments, beats and fills), but your content is KILLER real world stuff. Loving how you're able to take my fundamentals and now teach me to have FUN with with! Looking forward to diving into your videos!
This beat confused the living shit out of me when i was learning drums in the 90's. Someone finally showed me the Bonham shuffle and then it dawned on me lol.
You got me regular I’m in Scotland, I’ve been playing for quite a number of years on and off, I’m self taught and I thought I knew how to play, I knew it all, till I watch Your videos and then I realised I had of a lot more to learn, thank you Bob
My 2 favorite groovekings are Bernard purdy , and Rob brown!!! This is gold. There are thousands of amazing drummers out there, but very few can make me really feel a sustained groove. Thanks Rob!!!
Thanks Rob! dude, I've played drums since I was 16 - started in jazz band then went on to gig at venues playing swing, etc. I unfortunately never had lessons was self-taught so didn't learn a lot of my basics like the 40 rudiments, reading, etc.. I am embarrassed to say this is the first time I've learned the Purdie shuffle for its true feel. I played this shuffle today for like 2 straight hours but will be focusing on my shuffle now for a while to perfect it. I always played these shuffles without the ghost notes on the snare - which changes the whole dynamic of the beat. the triplet feel between the hats and the snare are so awesome. I'm also deaf in one ear and a lot of times when I'm learning a tune I can't quite hear the highs so I miss hat work and some ghosting, so videos like this breaking it down are so helpful. thanks for breaking it down man! also, your 5 shuffle beat video is EPIC, thank you so much for breaking the shuffles down (Pocaro, Bonham, Purdie, etc). I'm glad to have found your channel man, much appreciated! Justin - Atlanta, GA
Happy birthday Rob ... from Egypt. Sorry for being like one year and a half late!! Thank you so much for your effort and time. You really inspire me. I am a beginner, and I am 48!!! So wish me luck! Thanks again
THANK YOU so much mate. I could do the basics of this but like you said, it still sucked. I looked at a lot of Purdie/Porcaro shuffle vids but as you say they didn't show how to do the right hand even though it's clear that this is the most important bit. It's taken ages for someone of your calibre to put this much needed video up there. Respect.
Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard someone breakdown the Purdie Shuffle quite like that. Thank you so much for REALLY breaking things down in such a simple way. I just started playing drums a few years ago and I’ve been playing on and off since then. I recently got very serious about my playing and after watching this video, you definitely blew my mind! I was focusing too much on the ghost notes and not working on tightening up my hi-hat work. Thank you so much for sharing!
Love your feel with that groove. One thing that helped me tighten up this groove was practicing my right hand high hat patterns at different volumes while keeping the kick and snare volume consistent. Specifically playing the hats as quiet as possible allowed me to feel the shuffle without focussing too much on it.
Excellent lesson. This one of those things that's not all that hard to play, but it takes real skill to get it grove. Great playing and demonstrating.......
Learning Shuffle grooves are like leveling up. You will not pull it off without proper technique and timing. It's a simple and recognizable pattern that involves some of the more complex ideas, and it forces good mechanics because without them it simply doesn't sound right. Probably the most helpful thing to practice as a drummer besides rudiments (get your rudiments down people!)
Thanks so much Rob! Happy belated Birthday Brother. Your video’s help me so much! Stated playing drums at 55 years old and still having so much fun. Love your vid’s Warm wishes from Holland 👍😎
One more thing Rob. You could not have been more correct about revealing that the spangalang Jazz pattern is the key to that shuffle. For some reason I have never heard it explained that way nor did I ever notice that myself. Talk about life hacks... As obvious as it seems now, I don't think that I would have ever had that revelation. Thanks again!
Man this guy grooves!! :) I love Bernard Purdie, the man oozes class and character, a total individual, out there for so long bustin some great grooves and coming up with more than a few along the way. His instructional videos were and are so entertaining, informative and inspiring as well, I really can't say enough about how much the man himself made me feel at ease with his off-the-wall approach and very humane way of seeing things, he was a confidence booster for me and I have never even met the guy!
Rob, I dug it... I watched Burnard Purdie 'splaining his own shuffle first. Made me smile. I'm curious about the muscle memory it's necessary to develop as a drummer. Drumming is very cerebral! Good tips here, thanks.
Pretty Purdie used his voice kind of like another instrument - see that at 10 mins. Thanks for the great grooves, I might even get it from this explanation!
Don't know how I've missed it but.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY to someone who is much appreciated by so many around the world. Thank you for all your contributions to the music community entirely. Not just drummers. without us applying on drums what you teach us, there would be much left to be desired of the music that we all play. I hope your day was special and happy Bro!!
Yo I had to get on my busted chromebook just to say this video CHANGED MY LIFE. THANK YOU. I can't see my own screen so I hope this is legible. Happy Belated!
"I know there might be some of you out there wondering how old I am. I can tell you straight up, man. I don't feel anywhere near..." INTRO! That had me crackin up, man. You're the shit, Rob. Here's to many many more years of the amazing talent you bring to the groove community.
Learning the Purdie Shuffle moved me from the depths of frustration as a novice drummer to a confident player having much more fun. It gave me a completely new understanding of groove, and allowed me to incorporate its principles into many other styles of playing. Thank God for the Purdie Shuffle!
What about thanks to Bernard Purdie?
He gotta get props👈🏿🫡

"So what you're going to do is start with the Spang-a-Lang and then you're going to tell the Spang to go take a Union break or somethin' ..."
Cracked me up. I'm dead.
I don't have a spang a lang ,more like a, lang a spang .ugh.
After not playing drums for nearly 20 years i recently picked up the sticks again. I discovered this guy after trying to figure out how to play doubles properly and now im on the way to being able to shuffle properly. Love this channel!
I'm a find that 1 dislike hater I'm a get you and do the purdie shuffle on yah.
You are the ONLY one that properly honed in on THE key item! I am buying a sweatshirt for this one reason alone!
10:06 "OHHHhhhh!" Channelling your inner Purdie! I just HOWLED! 🤣🤣🤣 Faces too. 🤣
Belated happy birthday from England.
Today’s lesson was taught by Rob ‘Shuffledown’ Brown. Excellent lesson.
Super excellent. "Shuffledown" sounds like a funky breed of long haired sheep
My Spang just got back from a union break. Now we’re re-negotiating with the a-Lang 🤯
Happy belated birthday, Rob! Don't know how I missed it. What a wonderful drummer and teacher you are! Thanks again for all you do!
Thanks a bunch, man 🎉🙂
Watching tap dancers actually helped my drumming and of course Rob.
@@RobBeatdownBrown Happy Birthday from the Shinobi ken🥞.
Yep...you NAILED it. My jazz swing sucks! I always knew that, but. FINALLY a Purdie Shuffle lesson that focuses on how to get better at THAT, and then builds from there. My dude...love your channel, and your teaching style.
I’ve seen many tutorials on this drum pattern. This is the one which finally explains it. Thank you
All I can say is damn! I have been way overworking this thing. Thanks Rob! You taught an old dog some new tricks...again!
I hope the people you gig with know how good they have it. Your playing can hold anything togather.

You blew my mind! I now hear it like I’ve never heard it before. So crispy and clean. The shuffle, It’s a conversation isn’t it.
My man!! Thank you so much for being genuine and kind, plus a killer drum lesson! Very happy to find this tutorial
You dont look old but it doesn't matter,your a stellar drummer and and a amazing teacher.Its always a pleasure working on lessons with you. Thanks!
Rob Brown is a very generous teacher. He will not miss even the smallest detail.
I have some difficulties getting the speed up with the important right hand shuffle. But I guess it is mostly a technical and routine 'problem'.
You were right sir, this was indeed the purdie lesson I needed to see, Thanks
Dude, don't get NO OLDER for a time. Happy Birthday and thanks heaps for the lessons. Your presentation rules.
You're nailing it about the development of muscle memory. So well done. Excellent. Perfect.
Dude you’re awesome. Great drummer, even better teacher. Thanks so much bro your videos are making me fall in love with music and drumming.
Man you made me realize the ghost notes on the snare were just the "and" or the 3 part of the triplet, like my mind just couldn't see it that way, thank you so much
I discovered your channel through this video and you are amazing
10/10 for the "relaxed while playing" factor!
DUDE NO FREAKIN WAY! I just learned it while watching your video!!! THX SO MUCH Rob Brown!! This really improved my groove! It's time to experiment with it..
My man beat down Brown I'm telling you I've been playing drums on and off for 10 years and I always wondered how do drummers get such a tight pocket groove like that I appreciate it just this one groove helps tie everything I know together perfectly thank u your a great teacher please 🙏 keep it up peace and love brother ✊🏾
Pro drummers get that tight pocket by practicing for hours a day & then playing five shows a week & maybe a couple of recording sessions in-between...Definitely no time for another job..."on & off" wont cut it>
1000% And those triplets fit over any groove or side quest.
I've played this beat since 66. OMG! You've broken it down so that I understand what my muscles were doing. Tkx.
You explain this better than most expert drummers ..I just realised how to play this ..orsome.
I love how you morphed from that shuffle into the jazz pattern and the look you gave. LOL

Happy birthday Amigo!! My birthday is on June 16...60 years ese!!
I've been playing a kit now for approximately 20 months?? Your content is solid.
I knew you could break it down better than most, the practice pad method is perfect, thank you !!
Bernards lesson on Drumeo is one of my favourite instructional videos of all time, hes the man.
Mr Purdie is still thee dude 🏆🙂

I'm not a drummer but watching these videos really helps me overall as a musician.
Best purdie shuffle lesson indeed, i do feel confident i finally can crack that up
Knock down ur looking good Bro.. Been here from 10 thousand.. Now OVER 102 an GOING.. Thanks u helped me a lot
Love it, Rob ! "Babylon Sisters" / 'Steeky Dan' has always been one of my favorite Bernard Purdie petformances ♥♥♥ Thank you for this lesson :D
He man
Good explanation! I have played in a reggae band for 25 years, this drum riddim looks like a halfdrop . The swing feeling is about the same. Had a workshop from

I see we’ve all been watching our Bernard Purdie footage... “OOOOOHHHHH!” Such good stuff. Thanks, Rob.
I have this saved to my fav webpages. The faces Rob makes and his comments are hilarious

Top drums channel on YT for real!
Best breakdown of the signature groove by one of my favorite drummers ever.
Rob is DYNOMITE!! Nailed the feel here. Gonna grab some of that cool swag too!
Came after the mastering jazz swing video, man THANKS!!!! this video solve some questions i had.
Came here a while ago, left to work on my alang, came back. Can now do it. Thank you.
My 2 favorite groovekings are Bernard purdy , and Rob brown!!! This is gold. There are thousands of amazing drummers out there, but very few can make me really feel a sustained groove. Thanks Rob!!!
That’s a pretty big compliment, man. Accepted 🙂👊🏽

Thank you so much for your effort and time. You really inspire me. I am a beginner, and I am 48!!! So wish me luck!
Thanks again
Been chasing this for a while, always focused on left. Gonna try right. TY
No s**t man , you are such a legend for sharing everything . Your skills are ridiculous and my son is learning a lot from you ! Thank you man
It's great for you and your son, but not for neighbors)
THANK YOU so much mate. I could do the basics of this but like you said, it still sucked.

You are a talented drummer and a great teacher. Keep up the great work man God bless you and keep you! Keep um coming

Probably the most helpful thing to practice as a drummer besides rudiments (get your rudiments down people!)
Watching this again now that I've gotten better. Man my playing has just soared since I started watching your channel!! Peace
Thanks so much Rob!
Happy belated Birthday Brother.
Your video’s help me so much!
Stated playing drums at 55 years old and still having so much fun.
Love your vid’s
Warm wishes from Holland 👍😎
One more thing Rob. You could not have been more correct about revealing that the spangalang Jazz pattern is the key to that shuffle. For some reason I have never heard it explained that way nor did I ever notice that myself. Talk about life hacks... As obvious as it seems now, I don't think that I would have ever had that revelation. Thanks again!
Rob, my swing has swung and struck out (before watching this). Thx for breaking it down slowly like a true pro. 🥁💯
This video really helped me big style! Best video I have seen covering the shuffle.. going to practice my right hand triplets now! Great work Sir! ❤
Finally broken down proper
Beat down Brown you da man
Rob Brown you are the best drum teach on RUclips man,
Man this guy grooves!! :) I love Bernard Purdie, the man oozes class and character, a total individual, out there for so long bustin some great grooves and coming up with more than a few along the way.
His instructional videos were and are so entertaining, informative and inspiring as well, I really can't say enough about how much the man himself made me feel at ease with his off-the-wall approach and very humane way of seeing things, he was a confidence booster for me and I have never even met the guy!
A Happy Belated Birthday Rob ,Love The Parody Shuffles ,⛪🎊🎉.
Rob, I dug it... I watched Burnard Purdie 'splaining his own shuffle first. Made me smile. I'm curious about the muscle memory it's necessary to develop as a drummer. Drumming is very cerebral! Good tips here, thanks.
You’re so amazing.
Since this video my shuffle drumming is not the same anymore.
Thank you 🙏🏻
I had to skip back to this video through 2 others before I could watch the 6 shuffle video. Tbh I'm glad I did. Love what you do 👌
Thank you for breaking it down like this, I can finally wrap my head around the Purdie shuffle now!
Pretty Purdie used his voice kind of like another instrument - see that at 10 mins. Thanks for the great grooves, I might even get it from this explanation!
Yes, the groove of all groove - the Purdie shuffle 🔥 thx man, and happy birthday from France 👊🙏
Wuddup, France 🇫🇷Thanks, man. Shout out from Canada 🇨🇦🙂
Man Rob, you have gotten one of cleanest shuffles
It probably helps that your last name is Brown lol 😂
Thanks Bro!!! Absolutely the best Purdie Shuffle Lesson!!!!
Great video! With that absolutely primal Mr. Purdie yell, you really nailed it! 🤣 Thank you.
Awesome because i find it easy to play a swing groove your tutorial was really great-thank you
Don't know how I've missed it but.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY to someone who is much appreciated by so many around the world. Thank you for all your contributions to the music community entirely. Not just drummers. without us applying on drums what you teach us, there would be much left to be desired of the music that we all play. I hope your day was special and happy Bro!!
Finally a video that helped me figure it out
A LANG!
Yo I had to get on my busted
chromebook just to say this video CHANGED MY LIFE. THANK YOU. I can't see my own screen so I hope this is legible. Happy Belated!
8:40 is the one I use on "Rosanna." Absolutely fabulous video. Rob knows his stuff and can explain it in layman's terms.
You are the best teacher. I’m going to buy me some t’s. Thanks for the lessons.
Happy belated birthday Rob, 7 months late! Always love watching, learning and playing along. Thanks a lot for these videos. You groove!
Master Rob ' Beat Down ' Brown in the house!!+
Hey Purdy Junior, awesome job Rob, this was absolutely awesome and well presented. This is the project this week. "Spang-A-Lang" cheers. Bruce
"I know there might be some of you out there wondering how old I am. I can tell you straight up, man. I don't feel anywhere near..." INTRO! That had me crackin up, man. You're the shit, Rob. Here's to many many more years of the amazing talent you bring to the groove community.
Once again, really helpful & clear video. Thanks so much! You are the man Rob 🤛
