More information is covered in my book 'Filling Time'.

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.

Unison Fill

Practise moving from flams to unison and back again to improve accuracy. This example is mostly finger work.

Manky Beat

A manky sounding linear pattern played open-handed between hihat, snare and floor tom.

Insane 4-way Co-ordination

Try playing the left side ostinato without doubles as a 16th note pattern, to begin with...

Ghostnote Groove

Practise pull-out accents on the snare hand. Watch for this accent on the second double of the shuffle.
