Smooth Samba Groove - How to Play Samba on Drum Set

Want a smooth, buttery Samba groove for the bandstand? In this lesson, I break down how to play Samba on drum set in a super fun, easy, step-by-step way. This is the same juicy groove my mentor Noel Okimoto showed me years ago and it added a whole new dimension to my playing.

We’ll walk through the foot pattern, the hand coordination, the textures, and the floor-tom move that makes the whole thing pop. And don’t worry, you don’t need blazing speed to sound great. This groove is all about feel, flow, and that classic Brazilian vibe.

What you’ll learn:
• How to play Samba on drum set (step-by-step)
• How to break down the feet, hands, and coordination
• How to move textures around the kit for a fuller Samba sound
