Love that you let us have a listen first and teach second, so good when you don't have to skip till the end of the video to hear the full beat

[sirtrixx]

Very nice, love this type of video. Thanks Jeff!

[marceloled]

As always you're The Master..
the way you explain the drill and groove is awesome. I always wanted to know this step by step.. You are the best Jeff..👐

[Richard]

Brilliant as always! Thanks a million! When thinking about the secret of your grooviness, the key always seems to be the timing and balance of your strokes. You always make rock groove stand out.

Fantastic! Ilan is one of my favorites and you nailed his dynamics, precision and feel. You play so confidently with excellent dynamic control. Makes me want to practice rudiments and my stick control. Groovin! Cheers!

I remember this guy from UNT 😊
Nice breakdown of a groove that sounds way more complicated than it is.

Love me some half time! There's just something about moving that snare to beat 3 and starting a fill or a groove on the 1

[davidkemp]

Reminds me of Steve Miller Band song Swingtown. It has a similar groove.

[duncannewell]

Could you do a lesson on more creative fills like the one in the intro? I thought the fill was amazing

[romain_ogam]

Hi your channel is amazing could you do a video on reggae drumming?!

[OleksandrBanashko]

Thanks for the video man. Please tell me which in ears are you using??

[rileydeutsch]

Legend is back! Could you do El Eastpario Sabernio? He's also cool like do a review on how to do gravity blasts? Or ect

Hey Jeff, I love the groove! Keep it up with this kind of content. By the way, you don't list your gear in the description as you used to, may I ask for the cymbals & snare used in this video? Sounds amazing!

[ryantheiron]

Bro. Love your flow and approach to presenting the grooves.
Can I ask what hats you're using?
They look like 15s possibly.:)
