Drum Lessons

32nd Note Fill

Work on the basic 6 note pattern between the hands and feet (RLRLFF).

Toto - 'Mushanga'

Be aware of the dynamics Jeff uses to create this feel. Some drums are accented, others are tapped lightly.

Kick Hat Snare 01

First get comfortable with F,R,L,F,R,L,R,L (whilst accenting the last 'L'). There rest is a variation on a basic paradiddle.

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.

Ghostnote Groove

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

Linear-Type Beat

Practise cross-handed sticking between splashes and cymbals.
