So tell me, what are your favorite ghost note beats? Btw, I'm now available for online lessons and would love to work with you! For details: JeffRandallDrumming.com
I absolutely love your content bro. Your video is so helpful and so well layed out. Easy to understand and to the point. I can't exaggerate this enough, thank you for a super helpful lesson and your drumming is inspiring. Thanks for being you.
Funny that after almost a half a century I didn't know what everybody was always talking about, when they were talking about "Yeah yeah sure I play these Ghost notes on my kit!" But then I find your way of showing what it is. Well in a matter of fact, I had been playing these so called "Ghost" notes all the time, especially in the beginning (around 1968) when I wasn't so GOOD on the bass drum, so I often used my Snare drum to fill up what was missing. But luckily I managed to get how to do that famous "Double Beat" on the Kick drum that in a way came instead of these ghost notes on the snare.
My personal favorite Ghost Note beat, and one that I was hoping you would have added, is Digital Bath by Deftones. But I will note that James Brown's drummer was on point. Dude stays funky fresh and I swear he never messes up.
Awesome, I'm not even a drummer but watching and trying to understand what drummer or other instrument/instrumentalist do is essential for music production, I think it's even easier to program midi drum if we can imagine what a drummer would do.
Definitely. Apparently a drummer pet peeve is trying to play parts written by guitarists or non drummers in general and contain parts where you need 4 hands lmao
Great video Jeff! Incredible material for the beginner and intermediate drummers also, because these beats sound fantastic, help you build a great skill, but are not RIDICULOUSLY hard! Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the one on shuffles!
As soon as you mentioned Chad Smith I knew the song you were going to play. However, I was even more pleased to hear the Steve Jordan reference on Steve McQueen. I had NO IDEA that was Steve Jordan.
I realized after years of amateur playing how we use the word "beat" in a bunch of mutually exclusive ways and somehow we drummers can still understand each other lol. You beat the drums on beats 1 through 4 to play a beat 😅
Sounds like there's 2 separate bass drums or undertones notes on some beats (like the Sheryl Crow ne), is it only due to your playing ? Great videos, thanks !
most difficult I ever faced was Porcero and the half time shuffle from Rosanna. just learned it last night (not very well, but I can sync the roots). for a year I tried ot learn that song and was misinterpreting the ghost notes on snare as highhats. I would get frustrated and say "my hand cant move that fast dammit!" ha ha..
Yeah, he ghosts the snare so delicately that it almost sounds like a hi hat, your mistake is totally understandable LOL! And that's exactly why it's my favorite too, the way those ghosts fit in with the hi hat is just ungodly smooth.
The 2nd to the last one is difficult for me. I dont hit my snare and bass drum together very often unless I am playing double bass. Gonna take some getting used to.
Hi, I'm Joseph, I really support your teachings. These videos are very valuable to me, I learn more and more every day. keep it up, I greet you from La Paz Bolivia. bye bye
One dislike! Probably from the far-too-busy, ghost-note hating bass player that I played with for a short period of time. Seems he had all of that covered and wanted me to stick to 2 and 4. Huh!

I remember when Travis Newman would debate with me about this beat.
Ooops 2 princes ....
OH EM ZI, THIS IS MY CHANCE!!
Any Gavin Harrison beats
Jaki Liebezeit's beats! Vitamin C, Mushroom, Halleluhwah and so on...please!
I love how instantly applicable your lessons are to my playing with my band. Most other lessons are so theoretical and less directly relevant.

Yess love the stuff. Been here for a while and you have my continuous support. Two bar fills soon ?
Love that idea! I’m prepping some fill videos and will definitely consider that one.

Your videos always make me go jump behind my kit!
Love that. Do work bud!

Agreed 100%. The video grabbed my attention immediately and it was so interesting and fun to watch
I was just searching for ghost note grooves yesterday and then this showed up today. Good stuff. Thanks!
Right on! Hope you have fun with them.
halftime shuffle is my favorite groove with ghost notes, bernard purdie's drumming is a gift from the music gods
I am a metal/core drummer who loves groove. These beats are so amazing for warming up my ghost notes
Totally agree with the last one ( clyde stubblefield ), i think as a drummer this is my favorite of all time
Nice playing my man
AMAZING selection, 4mo in and these gave me a really good practice run
0:40 this is legit just the amen break lol.
plus im pretty sure its originally from the song "amen brother"
That’s a pant load of sick grooves right there!
Useful video, just what I was looking for. Thanks!
Great video Jeff!

Yeah, Steve demonstrates the groove in his DVD “The Groove Is Here” which is how I picked up on it.
Your videography and mixing are 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks, Jeff!
Man that is a nice sounding snare! great sounding video - Massive fan of ghost notes
Your videos are so good. Thank you. 😃😃😃
You’re very welcome Yaroslav.
Came here looking for something else but stayed and learnttttttt. (Didn't know they were called 'The JB's)
On that note, I don't even play music anymore but I'm sending you a like and sub. ( I was proof reading before post... on that note! DUHDUMCHIIIII)
I realized after years of amateur playing how we use the word "beat" in a bunch of mutually exclusive ways and somehow we drummers can still understand each other lol. You beat the drums on beats 1 through 4 to play a beat 😅
Very Interesting hi hat combination with those 17" crashes👌
Ah I need to correct that actually. Playing 16” K Light hats in this one.
Would love to see you take on a Biffy Clyro cover. Maybe golden rule, you’ll love it!
Amazing as always! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You da man Giles.
Great stuff Jeff. Love your videos!
Thanks!
Amazing as usual. Thank you
Thank you Julien.
Great stuff Jeff , keep it going 🙆♂️

The 2nd to the last one is difficult for me. I dont hit my snare and bass drum together very often unless I am playing double bass. Gonna take some getting used to.

These get better as the video goes on really cool! How about Fool in the Rain Bonham?
Great call Joel! I’m saving those shuffles for another video though. :)
Ah! Cool

Purdieeeee shuffle x
CLYDE STUBBLEFIELD!!
Yessir!
Imagine a vid on ghost notes and not featuring any Gojira
Again, giving us something to practice and have fun. Thanks man. Shuffle beats next time?
Shuffle grooves are definitely coming Alejandro!
@@JeffRandallDrumming can’t wait!
Nice great job jeff 👏. Did the lewitt mics come with clips?
Thanks Ron! And yes they do.
Hey Jeff, great video and cool playing. Do you have the transcriptions of these beats available to download please? Many thanks, Elred

Hi, I'm Joseph, I really support your teachings. These videos are very valuable to me, I learn more and more every day. keep it up, I greet you from La Paz Bolivia. bye bye
Happy to hear they’re helping you out Joseph!
That's quite my tempo !
9 : listen Denis Chambers's Ghost-Note on this fabulous groove : ua-cam.com/video/0xf-stZ5vOQ/v-deo.html&ab_channel=DennisChambers-Topic
Can transcribe Cherish from Maddona?
Listening to you lets me know you can J.B like a Mutha.
Eloy 'GhostNote' Casagrande
I have a question what is a ghost note all about🤔
You’re going to have to be a bit more specific for me CJ. What exactly are you confused about? Thanks.
@@JeffRandallDrumming I taught myself how to play the drums was it a silent one
Was it a kick drum or snare drum?
The ghost notes are the softer notes on the snare drum in between the backbeats on 2 and 4. Try a google search on it for more clarification!
@@JeffRandallDrumming thank you so much and I'm a one-handed drummer
cool man, it's 1 thing 2hear a thing and try2 play it
and another 2actually c how it's done.👍
Glad it helped yah out!
ghost note kan ?
LMAO
Jeff porcaro Rosanna
LTE Chris and Kevin excellente adventer for ghost not
One dislike! Probably from the far-too-busy, ghost-note hating bass player that I played with for a short period of time. Seems he had all of that covered and wanted me to stick to 2 and 4. Huh!
Haha
