It has a certain movement and drive to it, and it&#8217;s surprising we don&#8217;t see this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/the-5-most-iconic-double-bass-grooves\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iconic double bass groove<\/a> in more songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this video, Simon Phillips shows you how to shuffle with your feet while playing some tasty goodness overtop. He fills in the triplet gaps with one hand on the snare while his other hand plays a swing pattern on the ride. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then he goes into the song &#8220;Space Boogie&#8221; by Jeff Beck. Simon keeps the double bass going <em>the entire time<\/em>. He&#8217;s developed the freedom (aka <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/drum-independence-made-easy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">drumming independence<\/a>) to play essentially anything he wants over top, and practice and repetition can get you there, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re excited to share more Simon Phillips lessons and performances in the Drumeo members area.
