Here's an advanced lesson on applying a polymetric shuffle on top of two common latin grooves - the Bossa Nova and the Partido Alto Samba.

I created this video to accompany my Drum! Magazine Groove Analysis article on the great drummer Todd Sucherman. I had bronchitis, tendonitis and a freshly broken toe when I shot this. Lol.

I created this video to accompany my Drum! Magazine Groove Analysis article on the great Hal Blaine.

Here's the video from my educational feature article in Drum! Magazine that covered a wide range of techniques that drummers use to make grooves funkier.

Here's a step by step groove breakdown of a cool tom pattern from Jason Sutter.

This Quick Lesson is based on playing quintuplets with your hands while playing different subdivisions on your bass drum to create 5:4 and 5:3 polyrhythms. The final exercise also switches the leading hand. The sheet music can be found on my Drum Teacher page.

This lesson demonstrates how to take a simple linear beat and expand it into a linear “time feel”.

This lesson demonstrates how to play quintuplet based grooves using a Paradiddle Tap. Note: I don’t play this at gigs! Lol

This lesson demonstrates how to create complex linear patterns out of simpler and shorter “building block” patterns.

This is an excerpt from one of my many Groove Solos. I teach these to my advanced students.

This one is a linear groove that involves some tricky motions

Here an exercise I wrote that uses two polyrhythmic grooves. I play a 2 over 3 polyrhythm with my hands over a halftime 2 over 3 polyrhythm with my feet. That results in a 4 over 3 polyrhythm between my right hand and left foot. Yikes!

In this one, I use a paradiddle as the hand pattern for a series of funky grooves.

This video was a soundcheck from a product review I wrote for Drum! Magazine of Tama’s Star series drum sets.

Here’s a little jazz. This is an excerpt from a product review video I did for Drum! Magazine many haircuts ago.
