Drum Lessons

Drum Solo Triplets

Blistering singles and doubles between the hands and feet in a triplet pattern.

Drum Groove and Fill

Play R,L,F and L,R,F to very slowly to a metronome as 16th notes. This three over four feel will help you understand the rhythm.

Linear Drum Fill 03

Play this fill without the double strokes on the bass drum initially to get a sense of the rhythm.

Kick Hat Snare 04

Practise the inverted single paradiddle: R,L,L,R,L,R,R,L with and without accents on the first beat of each 4 notes.

Kick Hat Snare 08

Practise the 'closed' roll on the edge of the snare. See how many times you can get the stick to bounce on each hand. Then increase the tempo.

Alternating Linear Fill

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