11 Groove Displacement Tricks to Confuse Your Bandmates (In the Best Way)

If you’re looking to spice up your drumming without learning loads of complicated fills or time signatures, groove displacement might just be your new best friend.

In my latest full-length video, I’ve combined all 11 of my Groove Displacement Shorts into one easy-to-follow lesson. These simple tweaks will completely change how your grooves feel—without actually changing the tempo. The result? Rhythms that sound fresh, surprising, and seriously cool.

You’ll learn:

• How to shift the kick and snare by 1/4 or 1/2 beat

• How to apply displacement to quarter, 8th, and 16th note grooves

• How to make your playing sound more advanced with minimal effort

These are perfect for beginners wanting to explore creative ideas—or teachers looking for a fun way to challenge students.
