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.

Toto - 'Africa' Drum Beat

Play the bass drum hits on beat 1 & 3 slightly louder to create more of a bossa nova/samba 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.

'Rock And Roll' end solo

R,L,F is a signature Bonham triplet. Move it around the kit.

Linear Drum Fill 03

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

Unison Fill

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