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.

32nd Note Fill

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

Doubling Up

You may need to experiment with different bass pedal settings to find the right spring tension for you.

Sneaky Shuffle Variation

Time the drop of the stick to allow the ghostnote to land between the shuffle pattern. There is no need for much force here, simply timing.

Unison Fill

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

Foo Fighters ‘Rope’

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