Drum Lessons

Grammys Fill (transcribed)

Break down the fill into parts. Work on the hand and foot combinations separately first, then put it together and gradually increase the tempo.

Nirvana - 'Scentless Apprentice' Intro

Focus on the hand pattern in order to execute the flam comfortably. Heel-up will mean more volume.

Halftime Groove & Fill

Play with a metronome set to a low tempo and count in 16ths.

Songo-inspired halftime

Play R,L,F,L with accents in different places. Keep right hand on Hihat and left hand on the snare.
