In this drum lesson, I'll dissect and demonstrate a tasty groove by funk drumming master, Nate Smith. This groove uses a shaker instead of hi hi-hat and features syncopated offbeat snare accents. This hip drum beat is from the band The Fearless Flyers from their song "The Baal Shem Tov."

Here are two additional videos I've made on funk grooves that also have a syncopated snare on the ah of one. The first is based on Harvey Mason's Chameleon beat:

This second one is an extension of the ideas presented in the previous video:

The hardest thing about this groove is getting used to playing a shaker instead of your hi-hat while you play a funky kick and snare groove.

Nate is a killer funk drummer and his history playing with Betty Carter, Dave Holland, Chris Potter, John Patitucci, Joe Jackson, Kinfolk and many others has honed his groove making skills to ridiculous levels.
