The Purdie Shuffle: An Iconic Drumbeat | The New York Times
/ thenewyorktimes
never realized that tapping on the snare w his fingers was part of the beat but it adds so much
It's a wonderful technique,Benny Greb also utilises this technique it adds a while other dimension to ghost notes while also allowing to play the snare with cross stick with tremendous ease
I have to try this out! Never thought to, super interesting technique
@@theflyingcrud it takes a bit of getting used to but once you do the possibilities are endless
@@hectorsanaifric343 seems like it! Definitely want to try it playing along with some Lynn Taitt and the jets
John Bonham uses the Purdie shuffle in “Fool in the rain” fits perfect with the song ❤
1:34 What a great shot of his cross stick finger ghost notes. That is an underrated and truly innovative feature of his playing. Next to nobody uses stick and fingers like that.
It sounds amazing
Listen to Babylon sisters steely Dan wicked!
Oh snap, that's amazing. I gotta try it
Luke Holland does that in some of his clips, I also do that when playing rim/cross sticks.
Adds a different texture and sound for sure.
"You also got to remember that song has to groove, hehehe"
Man, he got the point.
Listen to Jeff Porcaro's drumming on the Toto hit "Rosanna." It's the Purdie Shuffle...and the late great Mr. Porcaro acknowledged it as such.
It's great. He used the Purdie Shuffle combined with a 3-2 clave on the kick to give the track a really unique groove.
@@dinglepringle1380 The kick is the bo diddley groove. jeff even said so.
Purdie has gone on the record that young Jeff P used to sit/stand behind Purdie when he was working with Jeff's dad watching and learning from Purdie
He's a drumming angel
Dude I love this man! I get chills by just hearing his laughter. He inspires me.
me too!!
bonham and stweart copeland,,learned from this guy man.
yup lol
Rosanna
Include porcaro in the list
Big facts! @_o
So did Steve Smith and Jeff Porcaro
what an entirely wholesome human being! 80 this year, let's hope he makes it into the triple digits
If anyone deserves to make it to the.... triplets, its Purdie. Ok, I'll show myself out.
@@michaelinglis8516 👑
He has such a sweet and happy soul. God bless this man!
Masters of their art make it all look so easy - keep on truckin' young man.
The best part is he is so graciously humble. He deserves to hold the record for most recorded drummer.
I've a feeling Hal Blaine holds that title
even john bonham used the purdie shuffle in "fool in the rain"
everybody knows that Bruh
it’s how i learned the shuffle!
Pretty, Purdy ! The groove master !The Purdy Shuffle, my favorite beat ! I think that's one of the things I strive for most, it's getting that perfect feel ! Thank you Bernard,for the constant inspiration ! Groove on my man!
@gyro62 Easy there, with the exclamation marks young man.
One of the most honest and soulful drummers I have ever heard. He plays exactly what he feels, and feels exactly what he plays. Such an inspiration.
I watch this every week. He aligns my metronome every time :)
I love this drummer. He distills joy when he plays.
He's such a fun, lovable guy and is also an absolute beast on the kit. immense respect for Mr. Purdie.
We love you, Mr. Purdie. THANK YOU, for ALL the wonderful music, you've given us, over these many years! God Bless, You!
i love how he plays the ghost notes with his finger tips
It's badass
This guy is so inspiring. Truly one of the greatest ever
Man o man thank you for posting this. Bernard Purdie has been a huge influence to me as a drummer. Amazing talent! I never knew he was on so many records either, amazing. Keep shuffling!
OMG amazing love this guy!!
I'm all into speed, which was a mistake when I started learning to play drums. But now I realize I gotta take a step back and play simpler stuff tightly first.🥺
ok Im convinced Bernard Purdie is the king of the badasses; he deserves the title of most recorded drummer.
ALWAYS will be grateful to his shuffle. 💗
LOVE HIM!!!
Keep drumming Bernard! We need to keep the groove in the world!
Amen! Ja, det er viktig å tenke større. Gud velsigne deg, Purdie!
God let him live this long because he knows that he'll have to give his seat back to Purdie when he passes on
What a great spirit he has. Incredible man. Awesome!!!!!!😆😆😆
Hope I can see you again in San Diego blessed love , Bernard
I love How Humble he is.. 😭
I never thought I’d legitimately love a good shuffle groove, glad to have made time to learn this one. 😊
Absolutely an iconic shuffle-timeless!
And Mr Purdie you are the greatest groover of all Drumming Time, Right in the pocket, Absolutely love your Drumming 🥁🔥🥁🔥🥁🔥🥁🎼
Congrats Purdie and keep on going!
Amazing!
I love this guy
Legend
The Lord of groove, and such a lovely man too.
yeah baby....groovin al the way...A true master of the instrument!
Kudos to the NY Times for reporting on a genuine and innovative musician who isn't the product or marketing.
legend
Your my drum inspiration
What a lovely human and musician...
His last sentence was so freaking spot on. Songs have to groove. The most important thing. We kind of do a disservice to drumming first timers by teaching them the 2,4 snare rock beat as their "home base" first groove.
You can make a 4/4 rock beat groove just as deep.... Feel overrides everything....
I want to be like this, when I grow old,,
So now I know where John Bonham got half of his stuff.
Mainly just one song. "Fool in the rain"
What's not to absolutely love about this man?
This man is drumming history!!!!
All the best...
Late Night with Johnny P Show
Drummer from NYB
Legend!
GROOVE ON Bro. Purdie
Thankyou Bernard.
And thankyou.
Thankyou.
xoxo
I love the guy.. legend!
what a pleasure it was to meet you .. can't tell what an honor it is to know you
Bonham and Pacaro have this man to thank.
Legend.
What a great accomplishment!
That shuffle feels so good.
What a lovely fella
cross stick ghost notes with his fingers. incredible
God bless you Purdie
Love for Havve
God Bless you Purdie! Home at Last is still my favorite song to practice to for feel and timing. Being able to lay down a Purdie Shuffle is essential to being a complete drummer. Two other essential grooves to know are Kid Charlemagne and Green Earrings. Green Earrings being the more difficult of the two but also slightly more fun. Not to take away from Purdie but also check out the “in the cracks” feel of James Gadson on Use Me and Kissing My Love from Bill Withers and lastly there’s Cissy Strut and I Just Kissed My Baby by the Meters. Now that’s a drumming toolbox!
Bernard's groove is simply impeccable, it's the most relaxed yet "here it is mofo!" you'll ever hear, no person with a pulse can help but be taken in by its complete authority & charm, just like the man himself, there's no other way to put it.
Off topic, but I love that Epifani 410 NYC bass cab in the background. I own one and it sounds incredible, favorite speaker cabinet of all time.
Now that was Purdie cool 😎!!
the drummer with the best smile😁
'Songs have to groove".
Never a truer word spoken.

Bernard Purdie. The best!
What a legend!
Met him in Las Vegas, having a coffee asked me about my t-shirt it had Manchester printed on the front, he asked me which state, I told him no it was England UK, he told me he was a drummer and gave me his card...OMG I checked him out when I got back home.... This guys a living Legend.... wish I could turn back time and meet him again....."Your Amazing"
Bernard" Pretty" Purdie.
BP you Forever!!!
One of the best drummers of all time
With that being said, I wouldn't expect Jeff to play Bernard's groove better than him...or vice versa. Each has their own feel...
Bernard likes to name drop when all he needs to do drop his own name in . The man !!!
Man... Last of the Iconic Drummers 🎉🎉🎉
BP .You Master!!!
the legend himself
Long live Bernard "Pretty" Purdue!! 💙💙💜💜
A legend.👌👌
When I think about the word "groove", I see Mr. Purdie in my mind.
What a legend
Yes
He was on Vulfpeck's latest album, played a few shows with them.
Quit fighting and start grooving everybody ;)
What. A. Legend.
that sort of "brushing" with the right hand (a kind of moeller) helped me to keep triplets (2R 1L) against the kick that come on 1 / 1and / 2and / 4 (counting in 6/8)
This saved my life :)
You are a tough guy, aren't you? A real hero.
Best beat ever.
He is human's treasure forever!
Watch it again and look at his left hand. He's tapping the snare head with his fingers on the second beat of the triplet.
And it's a thing of BEAUTY! Prominently featured on "Home At Last", at least - the slightly slower variation. Gotta love "Pretty" Purdie.
dude is a legend
The Man.
Beatles to Bernard “ Ringo cant make it- we need a drummer for Yesterday-“ Bernard “ Purdie shuffle- perfect for that tune”. He would have made it work. Brilliant.
Great shuffle
Da dum ba do ba da chick! Doesn't get any more funky and groovin'!
