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:

Being versatile drummers means not only more job opportunities but also greater freedom of expression and a richer personal style.
During my formative years I have studied, collected and synthesized, for each major music style, the most recurring and fundamental solutions, from private lessons, records and dozens of drum methods.
The result is this course, Essential Styles, which I created to help drummers who want to develop a basic but fluid vocabulary in all genres, to quickly become more complete musicians.
In this free excerpt I'd like to share with you 30 examples picked from the 200+ exercises included in the method, with two grooves and one fill picked from each section.
