Would you like to do a quick reality check? Then this is for you. The idea is really simple: record yourself playing 100 bars of the most basic drum beat, at the comfortable tempo of 100 bpm and playing along to just the metronome. In less than 5 minutes you are going to find out exactly what you need to work on. The key is that it has to seem perfect even though it’s never going to be so. Then how do we do it? The answer is continuity and consistency, which are achieved through micro corrections.

What if instead of just two feels, straight and swung, we could experiment with endless shuffle variations?
With these studies and beats we are going to develop control over 5 levels (straight, in between, on the triplet, narrow and hard), which will set the foundation to start using this parameter as a powerful tool to sound modern and groovy.
Check out the 13 page PDF with the full lesson which includes transcriptions, grooves and examples from records:
