This slow, not so typical shuffle groove for “Black Velvet<\/strong>” just kills me every time I hear it. I thought it was worth transcribing and posting this as many drummers out in the world want to know how to play it and\/or read it. You’ll notice that although it’s a *relatively* simple triplet\/ \/shuffle \/ rock beat, Anderson’s accents on the hats (3rd beat of 1st triplet and 2nd beat of 2nd triplet, the whole song seriously swings. He just nails it on the track, laying WAAAAY back on the back side of the down, up and back beats of this sweet shuffle.<\/p>\n
