Displaced Groove - Sunnyside

Displaced Groove


Drum Lesson by Alain Rieder

Mike Stern - Between The Lines

Track 01: Sunnyside
Drums: Dave Weckl

This lesson is an example of a displaced groove pattern, created and played by Dave Weckl in this Mike Stern CD.
Here's a short excerpt from the song:

Example 1
Here is the main basic pattern:

Example 2
Here I displaced all the notes from the bass-drum & snare-drum pattern to make them start on the first beat, which means that now the whole pattern starts half of a beat earlier.
Let's say the pattern is now in its fundamental position and becomes a much more usual type of groove.

Example 3

Example 4
Now the second element of the pattern, both in its fundamental and displaced states:

Example 5
And now the third element of the pattern, both in its fundamental and displaced states:
