Bass Drum Placement – Shuffle Part 1

Correctly playing and subdividing 8th note triplets is a very challenging task, especially with the bass drum. As challenging as it may be, it is essential that we are comfortable with this concept in order to play many different styles of music. In this lesson we will focus on being able to comfortably play 8th note triplets with our bass drum. We will first use our hands as a guide to make sure that everything we are playing is on time, and then we will develop the ideas into grooves.
