How To Play The Rosanna Shuffle - In 3 Steps

Показать описание
The Rosanna Shuffle is one of the most iconic drum beats of all time. The groove was played by Jeff Porcaro in the song “Rosanna” by Toto.

Porcaro explained that his groove was derived from Bernard Purdie's “Purdie Shuffle,” John Bonham's beat from “Fool in the Rain” and the famous Bo Diddley beat. This groove is notoriously difficult to play. However, if you think of the groove in terms of the following three steps, it is much easier to comprehend and learn.

I love Bernard Purdie, John Bonham, Jeff Porcaro and Simon Phillips.

When I started playing in the 80s we didn't have access to all the different teachers & tools they way they do online now. We just had to rewind the cassettes and figure it out, sometimes with a teacher but usually not. You have made this very easy to understand. It's still hard to play but thanks to you I now know what the hell is going on in this beat!

So many people play this and some even technically correctly, but few sound really clean and the shuffle doesn't have the feels like your version. Thanks man.

Hey man, you've got that "groove" going on this Rosanna shuffle. I've heard many others play this but they sound mechanical and rehearsed. Thanks for the lesson, keep up the good work!.

This is a good lesson. You covered the ghost notes perfectly. The ghost notes are the most subtle parts of this groove. Enjoyed it, and appreciate it.

This guy here is a great drum instructor. There are many great drummers who just cannot teach; then there are a few who can teach. This guy has it.

Love your explanation, that shuffle came to me in a dream on how it should be played, and I got up the next morning and it came right out of me. I'm glad to see how you've explained it, it's perfect and you make it look easy. Your a great drummer but more importantly your a greater teacher.

Clear and easy to understand. I'm not even a musician, and yet I could appreciate how difficult this is.

I am an oldman now. I played Hollywood in the 80's/ This beat was so hard to do by ear. Now I see you explaining so perfectly. I wish I was young again. Really good teacher. But my brain is fried these days. Amazing bro.

These videos piss me off, but not in the way you may think. I did a great disservice to myself by not sticking with music when I was younger. This is fantastic stuff.

So Jeff Porcaro and Bonzo BOTH authored an amazing shuffle beat that no one can really reproduce in the same time period? (1979ish). Crazy. Did they know each other? I also give huge respect for Porcaro's performance on Hold the Line. Great drum riff that never overplays, but drives the whole song into the solo break and kills it.

The Groove that separates the men from the boys - don't beat yourself up if it takes a while, and don't dare lie to yourself and pretend you're ready if you're not - it will train-wreck, and graceful recovery is nearly impossible - it really is just that hard.
