Drum Lessons

Drum Solo Triplets

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

Walk This Way - Drum Intro

Timing the bass drum with the open hihat bark is the key to nailing this beat.

Kick Hat Snare 07

You can change the pitch of the hihat bell by applying some pressure to the pedal. Find the sound you like best.

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.

Linear-Type Beat

Practise cross-handed sticking between splashes and cymbals.
