Austin Burcham hey Austin, this is awesome. You should do a segment on his groove on Something’s Missing from the John Mayer trio recording. Doing his 16th note high hat groove with killer ghost notes and the phrasing and accents on the kick is killer.

This is one way to look at it, unusual though. I would call this 6/8, subdivisions being 8th notes and swung 8ths instead of swung 16ths (in 4/4). But this depends on the given point of view. Actually I find your 4/4 version refreshing.

@@leaveitorsinkit242 Most competent drummers can play what he plays note for note, but none of them will sound quite like him. His particular mix of technique and subconscious wiring means he divides time in a way that is very musical and consistent, a touch idiosyncratic, very recognizable, and impossible to recreate exactly. 1:10 I mean look at his left hand. Watch Austin's primer on traditional grip, and he'll tell you that is holding the stick way too far back. His thumb is almost at the end of the stick, about a and's breath from the balance point. "You'll get no rebound that way." But you can't argue with the results.

Jeffrey Hyder YES YESSS YESSSSSSSS. Thank you. I’m not trying to hate on people, but that’s why it drives me crazy when I hear people talk about how good Tony Royster is. Obviously he’s super talented, but the guy overplays more than any drummer I’ve ever heard. His playing is just fast random noises without any feel or musicality. It’s the exact opposite of what Jordan does.

Steve Jordan is one of those guys who seems to show up everywhere. Neil Young had him play on his comeback SNL appearance of Rockin in the Free World in '89, and the song never sounded so driving and urgent. Now he's touring with The Rolling Stones following Watts' death. He seems to be one of the top 5 guys of the professional drumming world, and I think his skill is evident even to the layperson, which makes him pretty special in the musical universe.

Great job on this, especially how you noticed the details of spacing and feel. Not trying to be critical, but the only thing missing is the sound of Steve's gear; He has some ambient ring on his kick and snare, allowing the BD on 'e' (3rd note of 3 in a row) to sound a tad more accented than the other kick notes. Also his oversized Paiste Hi hats fatten up his sound. Steve has always been the Groovemaster, I want to mention an album he played on - Steve Khan's 'Casa Loco' , hope all you Steve Jordan fans check it out.

High quality stuff man, I love your videos. With groove, it isn’t as elusive a concept to describe as you think. Groove is the consistency of spacing between notes/attack points, and consistency of the sound quality of those attack points relative to each other. Steve’s sound is immense and ultra consistent, it makes you relaxed when you listen to it. Love your stuff man, especially this video which isn’t just a chop fest.

He also flams off the hi hat(right hand) on to the snare(left hand) on the 2&4 of every bar he grooves. The right hand starts the flam on the hats and left finishes on the snare. Its the Dennis Chambers pocket. You have to be very carful with it because if the timing of the flam is off the groove will be bad for the band, also the snare has to be hit quite hard to disguise the flam. It helps for a cleaner groove. Rim shots help.

One of my favorites! Great job Austin. I've studied this one alot too and a few things I have noticed are that the 16ths are somewhere between straight and 16th triplets - kind of that half way point. His 8th note grooves are too and I think that's what gives it such a nice lope. If you slow it down, especially on the 16th right hand groove, you can really hear it. Also, he keeps the hi-hat slightly open the whole time, just barely, but enough to give it a little bit of breath. Thanx for uploading this one!

His 16 or 17 " hi hat adds to his sound. His lack of muffling his drums...The Yamaha resonance on these drums, his using rim shots as an East coaster would usually do and his influence by Bernard Purdie all contribute to his stay and sound. When drummers play music they are modeling the style of someone else in their heads.....the way they groove, hit, sound, play, the sticks they use, how they strike their bass drum and live time between it and the backbeats as well as all the well felt dynamics and subtle nuances of the grooves few understand until many years of playing lots of musical styles happens.
