“Sweet Home Chicago“ Basic Shuffle Groove And Fill Practice-Along

Simple play-along for drummers looking to drill and solidify their basic shuffle groove, and basic triplet based fill to compliment it. Shoutout to all viewers and channel members that have requested this type of vid, which recreates the sort of drills we do in face-to-face sessions on two drum kits :) Notation on practice-along notation formats on the channel members’ page, here: Other videos relevant to this... The Shuffle: Building up a shuffle groove: What are triplets?: Just a note about the on-screen notation - To save space I’ve just notated one bar of groove and one bar of fill. As I say in the vid though, the idea is to play three bars of groove followed by one bar of fill throughout. In the third bar of groove btw, feel free to leave off the very last hi-hat hit on the “ ” of beat 4 to faciliitate getting smoothly into the drum fill if you like.
