- Chad Wright, touring drummer for legendary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees The Jacksons, demonstrates the four (4) methods that can be used to play the drum groove to "Shake Your Body": Ed Greene's studio session method, Jonathan "Sugarfoot" Moffett's method, Chad's own method used currently with The Jacksons and his "cheat" method.
Why does he only have 576 subs? give this man 1 million!
Thanks Chad!!! You just demystified one of the great rhythms in pop music history!!! Thank you Jesus/Ed Greene/Sugarfoot/Chad!!!
As all comments say it all👍🏼👍🏼! It's always so great to see amazing drummers that have such awesome humble personalities and without a doubt that together with your awesome player skills makes you worthy of the Jackson's gig💪🏼💪🏼.... and if anything, this shows the greatness of the Jackson Family, for always being Human, Humble and just Great People working with the likes! Bless you all🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼and thank you for the greatest dance groove EVER!!!
My ears are in heaven.
This is fascinating - you are such an artist - a beautiful, brilliant player - thank you very much.
Great video. You are a great teacher -- and very humble/low key for a guy who is so fantastic!
Thank you so much... you are so very kind...
Nice breakdown
and nice interpretation well played!
Pls check out the late Ricky Lawson’s interpretation as it is also a nice way to lay down this groove in performance!!!
By default, I was accidentally using the 'CHEAT" method. Thanks for clearing up the mysteries for me. (68yr old Funked up white dude.) I was in
my first SOUL BAND at age 14 playing Proms. Big fan of Green, Moffett, Emory AND NOW Chad Wright. PROPS TO YOU
Dan Stephensen Thank you, so much! I am very humbled by your kind words!!!
The band I'm in is just learning this song, and I was wondering how I was going to pull the drums off. Now I know. Thank you so much. A great tutorial!
@@melvinharmony2427 I found it much easier to play it open-handed.
Very nicely explained, Mr. Wright! You make that complex pattern groove so well. Your drums sound amazing-beautiful, clear tones, and your cymbals are perfectly balanced. Very well-produced all around. I had to learn this song for my band and I came up with a slightly different way to get a very similar result. Thank you for a great video, and a little history behind it. Cheers!
Nice Chad. I saw Foot demonstrate this at a clinic some years ago. You broke it down great. I gotta play this today.
Incredible groove and by far one of my all time favourites.
Incredible! You are one of the best player/teachers I’ve ever seen. In combining those two surprisingly disparate skills, you are absolutely in the league of the great Peter Erskine. Thanks so much for “solving the mystery” of this amazing groove!
Man awesome lesson on this crazy groove..thank u sirrrr....
A couple of years on & returned to this tutorial. forgot how good you explain this drum beat.
This is one of my favorite drum lessons on TH-cam. Its a pleasure to learn groove from a very seasoned drummer. More of “The Breakdown” please Chad!
That sone came on today while I was in my car and after all these years, I really paid attention to those arms and tied to figure out how they did that groove. Thanks for the post. That answers everything.
Smooth and straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥
So damn awesome! Well explained. A true professional! Intelligent, direct, understandable....perfect! Notice how no drum covers of this song exist here on TH-cam? Or am I a lazy idiot?
That’s so great and what a piece of educational history. One of the best drum covers, regardless of song or drummer. Thanks, man.
wow.....this is one of the best grooves EVER!!
Truly like your style of playing the drums!
Now i really need a beer and watch it again lol....tnx for this great lesson!
La Rochelle Thank you, so much...! You are so kind!!!!! Very glad you enjoyed it!!!!!
I ran across an old Chaka Khan concert where you're playing which was really nice. I googled you & it led me here, which I've enjoyed the breakdown of this groove.
Same here!
Wow, so much info with so little ego... GREAT teacher you are, sir. Thank you. While I'll probably never play "Shake Your Body" live, I've always loved that sweet groove. Which, as a drummer myself, has been a bit mystifying.
Tom Burns Thank you, so much, for the kind words...!!!!
Tom Burns was the way I gotta do best y
glad i got to sit behind you live and watch this! take care out there my friend!
Sound wise this is very well mastered, I wish I had this sound.
So glad I found this video and Chad ,does it get any better.
I incorporate both methods when playing this song because sometimes you get caught up in the groove you have to hit that tom real quick. I like having the extra floor tom to the left it helps a lot.
Great video man!. I have to learn it for a gig. And always wanted to learned it.
Thank you, so much…!!!! Have a great gig!!!!!
Fantástico, Chad. Great video and it is a pleasure to meet in TH-cam such a good profesor as you. Thank you.
Fantastic. Impeccable. Thank you.
Awesome, Thanks Chad, great lesson.
Great lesson! Also, that floor tom on the left sounds great.
Wow! I've been obsessed with this for a while now. Thanks for the video. Great song!
Thank you, so much, my man...!
Thanks for sharing these insights!
Great explanation of the the Drum Groove. You have inspired me to try it out with my students. Look forward in more ‘Breakdown Series’.
Great job breaking this down Chad. Been playing this for years per your first example, except didn't alternate from rack to floor, then floor to rack...I just did the rack to floor. Thank you for posting this.
Russ Wilson Thank you, so much, for the kind words...!
Superbly played Chad thanks for the knowledge my good man 🙏👍
Chad thanks for posting all the different ways to approach this. It positively helped me out.
john anthony Hi John... so glad I could help... Thank you, so much, for checking out the video...!!!!
Whatup Chad!! It's been a minute my dude. Sounding awesome as always Bro.. Thanks for the lesson on this btw, cause playing this Sugarfoots way is rough! Lol....
Incredible!! Thanks for sharing this. I'm not even a drummer. You're awesome!!
Great talent! Very, very envious of your skills. Don’t ever stop beating those drums!
Outstanding.
Wonderful. thanks!
Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Haha!!! Magic, Pure Magic. Thank You!! Thanks Chaz
wonderful!!!!!!!!! TY I have to record a version of this Friday :) TY, I always wondered who and how :) I thought it was JR ...much earlier TY
Damn, I just found you through watching a Chaka Khan performance from 2002 Pori Jazz Festival ( a really popular festival here in Finland) and was immediately drawn by the absolutely incredible drumming in the song 'Ain't Nobody'.
Wow… thank you, so much… you are very kind…!!!!
Thank you for that. Amazing explanation!!! 🙏🏼
Great breakdown!!! I have 2 ways I play it depending on the gig. I learned Sugarfoot’s version when i first had to do it with a Corporate band and adjusted it to the 1-2 toms you do, with my left hand on the HiHat to make it easier to get around the toms! However, I was asked to sing the lead by the band and took out the Hi Hat accents to make it easier to sing! It became my favorite song to do in all its incarnations!
You have a great teaching demeanor
Need to learn this by Sat. Guess what i will be practicing. Great lesson..not sure if I can but will try and thank you for the very clear lesson.
Thank you for sharing these methods. It helps us so much and very giving of you!
Sounds so great Chad! The groove is very cool and your execution just feels so good.
Thanks Chad! I have an audition Weds night and of course none of the 5 songs they gave me are normal, mainstream in the pocket stuff that I've played over the many years, lol ... I've been playing for 45+ and this groove is still hard to cover but I feel seeing you visually play it and how you're pulling it off will help a great dea
l! I'm going to work it on my set tomorrow since it's late to play now but I'm anxious to give it a shot ... I will be following you online from now on !!! ... Thanks again!
Thank you. This was great!
this is gold!
legendary song,great explanation great drummer!
Thanks so much. I was having an aneurism trying to figure this out.
vitus33 thank you, so much!!!! So happy that it could help in some small way...!!!
Oh yes I enjoyed that thank you for your post
Thank you! Great stuff.
Amazing breakdown!
DOPE!!!!!
Excellent lesson, thanks!
Thank you Chad for a super video tutorial. Can you tell me what type of Zildjian Hi-hat cymbals you are using and the diameter?
Thank you, so much…!!! I’m so glad you found it helpful in anyway… the Hats I’m using in this video are 14” Zildjian A New Beat top and Zildjian A Quick Beat bottom… sometimes, I use 14” or 15” A Quick Beats during the actual show with The Jacksons. Thank you, so much, for the inquiry….!!!
Thank you that really helped me
Thank you Chad
This is great!! Thank you so much!
You are the bomb! Thank you 😀
Awesome!
Thank you! great video
Very good, I managed to understand how it is playing and I am managing to play, even with mistakes more is coming out. It seems simple but it is very difficult. I don't understand why some didn't like it. Post playing to see if it got better!
love your work on this video
Thank you, so much, George...!!!
Incredible I like it 🙏
Hey Chad. So good to meet such a real brother as yourself on the tube. I have a rhythm section rehearsal this arvo, so this was a big help. So good hearing about Sugarfoot as well. .. And Barry White in the same video!
Lots o Love from Tasmania, AU. Funkrad xoxo
Konrad Park Thank you, so much, Konrad. Glad I could help in some way!!!
DAMN, THAT WAS WICKED!
Great explanation 👌
Hello! Very good Phil Collins recording! Congratulations ! You play the drums very well! Subscribed to your channel ...
Fabiano Batera Thank you, so very much...!!!!!
thank u chad this is awesome
Richard Miller thank you so much for checking it out...!
Geweldig!!
Chad your a legend
Amazing thanks
Crushed it bro.. I've not been playing this right... "my way"... Much prefer yours... thank you...
Hi from Dublin! Love this breakdown. Have you ever considered open-handed? Would make this so much easier. Play the hi-hat only with your left hand. Play the 2 with your right and the four with your left, leaving your right hand to play the toms.
Aiyic Thank you, so much. I’m not really comfortable with the open-handed sticking. But, that is another great option for approach. It would basically give the same result. I believe Randy developed this groove open-handed because he’s left handed. So, the origins of this groove prove your point. Thank you, again...!!!!! Take care and keep in touch.
If my left hand was strong enough, I would totally play this open handed. Probably a great exercise to work it up!
Thanks! You just saved me from having to figure this out
Solid Bro
Nice groove
Great!
Muito bom meus amigo
Never knew that’s where I get those Tom fills
Really cool video.
You can also hear that skipping the hihat is noticeable.
I think I may need a year to cover this song. or have you as a teacher, Chad.
Fendi-Bull lol. It’s much easier than it looks. Happy to help in any way...!!! Thank you, so much, for checking it out!
@@ttchadtt1 I might steal the technique though, on something else. by the way Thanks for explaining this.
This is gold... I always wondered too, I played it even different... Still maintaining the groove i think... Can you have a listen and share your thoughts?
Hi Chad! Great demonstations of different versions! I never heard the second toms from the original recording so I played the "cheat" version on my Shake Your Body tutorial. Check it out and thanks for this video!
Holy crap i got 10 days to learn this one before studio day 😢
Exelente MAESTRO
Excellent sir! ;-)
Jakubu Griffin Thank you, my man... how’s it going? Are you still in Vegas. The family and I are hanging in Vegas until Thanksgiving morning...
@@ttchadtt1 Im actually on the east coast for Thanksgiving, but still living in Vegas. We have to hook up soon brother.
Jakubu Griffin Absolutely...! Hit me up when you’re back. Would love to catch up!!! Have an incredible holiday!!!
Yeah 😎
Fuckin' Awesome!
You drum for The Jackson's, when ?
Great video btw.
Francis Quainoo Thank you, so much. I have been with them from 2012 to present.
@@ttchadtt1 Ah ok thanks, God bless.
Enjoy the moments with these legends ✌🏾
Chad, fantastic video. but let me ask you something: is the tom part on the recording really a two 16th note part? ah-3 ah-4? I know it's overdubbed, so it makes sense that any drummer would likely play ah-3 ah-4. But when I listen to the recording, I can't hear the second note at all. I always thought it was just our own ear that sort "assumed" there was a second note. I just hear it as the "ah" of 2 and the "ah" of 3. Anyhoo, great video man!
Thank you, so much, my man… so, believe it or not, according to The Jacksons, it’s two 16th notes… I agree with you, I can’t hear the 2nd notes on the record, either… LOL. But, on the first day of rehearsals, I played just single notes in the toms and they quickly corrected me… LOL…;)
LOL… I thought the exact same thing… LOL… but in rehearsals all four brothers told me it was 2 16ths… to this day, I still only hear one note each on the record…LOL… but, The Jacksons sign the checks so I play it the way they say to play it… LOL
I thought I had it figured out. Slickingdom said it best . . . . . . "YOU DEMYSTIFIED" !!!!!!
