The answer the the question "Do You Really Need To Learn World Grooves?" is easy... YES YOU DO! The real question is WHY? How can they help you develop as a player? Well, I plan on explaining exactly that in this week's drum lesson. Enjoy :)

Four on the floor is a world groove somewhere.... so I'm working on world grooves. 😅
Okay so, I just started (four hours ago) to look into Latin grooves for the next bigger theme to practice, and you uploading exactly this video exactly now, I think it's a sign. :D Last time I tried, paradiddle over samba was not going well for me.. Anyway, thanks Mike!
Aija, that's so awesome to hear. A sign indeed. Hopefully hearing my nightmare "paradiddles over the samba" story made you feel a little better, lol.
As someone who mainly plays metal, I started practicing latin grooves a few weeks ago and I haven‘t had that much fun in way too long.
Needless to say, I freaked out when I saw you posting yourself practising this on Instagram! Gonna give this a shot right now!
Love it, and thanks for the new groove to practice. World grooves are great to learn not just for independence but the feel and the immersion into different cultures of music. Plus how applicable they are in a drum solo setting. Next time you’re playing out and they go around the room introducing the band and you get to do your little 30 second solo, lead into something like Steve Gadds “late in the evening” Mozambique….Crowd will love it!
Hope you get around to doing some more of those tuning videos
Dang, you so smooth, leaned so much from you.
Awesome, Mike! I´m from South America and I´m convinced about how useful is to learn different grooves like these and to apply them to the music you play on a regular basis giving it a more "spicy" feel whether is rock, jazz, funk, etc. You are a great teacher, man! Thanks for posting this.
That’s exactly where I am am right now, learning singles, doubles and paradiddles over samba on the feet. Literally had the same through of self doubt 😅 thanks for the lesson
Time to figure out how to adapt this for death metal. Better invent the Mozamblast
Oh shit, paradiddles over samba… on that tomorrow….
Great lesson!
Check out One Man Tribe
Is that your Transition Ride? Sounds nice.
SOOOO stoked to learn this ! Thanks for being the best instructor not only on the internet , but just all around !
It certainly won't make you worse!
6:53 - My fav Mike referencing my fav Mike. My life is complete.
Beautiful music to finish with. Cheers big ears. 🍻✌️
Q: starts with "Do you really need to learn..." A: Always "Yes"!
Cool as shtuff!! Thanks Mike I needed a laugh and a new avenue of playing!! LEGEND!!
You added a mic by the floor tom!
I want to lean African grooves sooo much. It's a mystery to be unfold for me
What your metrnome program you use, is so cool?
The more grooves you got the better no doubt
You want to really change your game? Get an Off-Set kick drum pedal. It physically eliminates stereo phase issues between kick & snare for your overhead microphones, so they will be rock solid center imaged, plus allows better playing ergonomics.
Yes!
Another great 'demonstration ', Mike... and, yes, it really challenges independence, which, as you say, and I think we all know, can only improve your skill on the kit, and translate to all genres of music. Thank you.
Great advice given there Mike, killer video.
Love it.
Yes of course we do .. “late in the evening”. Gotta know it. Great job Mike 👏👏
Watchew got in dat cowbell?????
I bit of white gaff tape :)
That sounded brilliant, thanks for sharing that. Bob M.
Mike, you are so inspirational 👏 I wish I could find more down time, alone time to go practice my beautiful kit
Thanks Mike for an awesome demonstration.
World music is really cool.
My brain does not go well with this. It's just way too much independence involved. But i really like the way it can sound with orchestrations and dynamics.
I remember my first teacher around 1988/89 showing me the basic paradiddle/samba groove, on snare/kick/hihat, wich I spent quite much time trying to learn. I got it to sound like a total train wreck at best before I gave up. Still can't do it today 34 years later. Too much stuff is going on at the same time.
That's a sweet samba rhythm. Nice video.
Damn hot sauce chili habanero combination
Thanks God bless always
just wow all your videos i just love it
Sorry Mike, I had to unlike this video for a split second there, just so I could like it again! Great lesson, and really reinvigorating the drive to push my musicality on the kit!
LOL! Much appreciated my friend!
Steve Gadd - Late in the Evening
Mike - I want to send you a copy of my new Afrobeats book please! But I can't get any of your team to send me any details. Can you help? PS you'd love it!
That's because there's no team, there is just me. You can email me anytime mike@mikeslessons.com or you can ship it to the studio - 705 Gold Lake Drive #320, Folsom CA, 95630
@@mikeslessons That's brilliant thanks!
I learned to play Songo from your old Gospel Chops video. It was the only video I found that really broke it down enough for me to learn it. The purple and neon green walls were lit.
LOL!!! OMG, going way back! So glad you enjoyed it my friend :)
Awesome thankyou
I love this dude.
Glad to see the ExpII back in action. Is there a lesson or course at Mike's Lessons that works on the paradiddle never the samba?
Sweeeet fancy Moses that sounds good!! 🥁❤️
Awe man... Thanks John, that means a ton brother!
Jason Bittner said during his Drumeo lesson that even though he's a metal drummer the most influential and important concept he learned during school was a Latin pattern.
Try out everything at least once and you might find something you enjoy and can use for other styles.
Yes Mike, Yes I Do! Definitely need to learn this stuff and open up my independence and vocabulary on the kit! Thanks as always for everything you do for us family members! 🙏🍵
That's so great to hear Dan! I would love for you to set a goal for yourself to upload a video to the Family page by October 1st of you playing the groove from lesson 6 in Mozambique Course 1. Your In?
@@mikeslessons Absolutely! I need something like this to push myself! Thank you for the inspiration and the push/challenge! Time to get to work!
🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵
Thanks Mike
LOVED this video, Mike! Definitely inspired me to start learning this stuff
YES!!! You just made my day Austin :)
@@mikeslessons You replying made MY day! :D. And I know it's really you because you didn't ask for any crypto lmao
Man, you make it look so easy. I love the way you play drums. Someone once said (I believe it was a comment on 'Fool in the rain' drums only video by John Bonham) and they didn't understand all the hype about him (J. B.) and that you have an equal if not greater talent than him. I understand what that person meant. You're an inspiration. You take drumming to a whole different level. Just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your content, and all of your channel, even if it's all theory for me, as it goes beyond what I am able to do on the drums. So yeah, keep it up! You rock, melodically. 👍
Been on the Mozambique course today!!!!
That's awesome to hear Arthur. Course 1 or Course 2?
@@mikeslessons Hey Mike!! Course 1 but WHAT there’s a course 2?!?!?! Bring it on!!
@@arthureakin1192 LOL! There is indeed my friend. It went up on the site last night :)
@@mikeslessons On way way!!!
At the beginning of the video my mind automatically shifted the downbeat by an eigth note, I heard the "1 and" as the "1" and the hihats as offbeats. Now THAT's some spicy sauce!
...
As always: great video, Mr. Johnston! =)
Agree! I’m an absolute beginner at samba, and it’s already changed my fills, I sometimes just do something, think “what the hell was that”, and i realise it’s some samba related pattern that just flew out of my hands and made noise. And the 4 limb independence- definitely. That opening to “a pattern per limb” is a whole other level of independence from your typical rock groove, and you can then do some funky stuff with a groove whilst keeping most of it simple.
