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.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - 'Dani California' Intro

Work on one-handed ruffs, bass drum double-strokes and, of course, timing and feel...

Solo Groove

Try this on the practise pad first. Get comfortable with the right hand sticking as much of the bass drum pattern copies this.

Kick Hat Snare 05

Practise the 6 stroke roll: R,L,R,R,L,L. Next play it in groups of three as triplets.

Alternating Linear Fill

Play the linear pattern without accents. Next accent every third note, alternating between hand and foot. Switch hands.

Foo Fighters ‘Rope’

Practise playing the bass drum with the crash cymbal on your weaker hand (See bar 3) @ 2mins 50.
