Drum Lessons

3 Pedals 2 Feet

A Dennis Chambers-inspired 'fat foot' technique which involves playing the hihat and slave bass pedal together.

Moscow Groove

Practise the first 8 notes of this pattern on a practise pad only. Use it in daily playing. Gradually introduce the bass drum hits.

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.

'Immigrant Song' Drum Beat

Practise the bass drum double separately then introduce the hands.

Linear Drum Fill 03

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

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.
