COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Here’s a fact that may surprise you.

Just about every style of popular music that we play today – including rock, blues, funk, hip hop, jazz, metal, country, gospel or reggae – can trace its roots back to shuffles. And I can pretty much guarantee that whatever your goals are as a drummer, the odds you will encounter a shuffle are 100%.

With that in mind, the core message of this course is quite simple. Learning more about shuffles will not only make you a better drummer, it will make you more EMPLOYABLE. Whether your goal is to audition for the school jazz band, play in a tribute band on the weekends, make a living as a professional freelancer or become a million-selling rock star, knowing more about shuffles will help you reach that goal. In fact, learning about shuffles might be one of the smartest decisions you can make as a drummer, period!
