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 Offbeat Groove

Work on the hi-hat pattern first. Next introduce bass drum. Introduce the snare when you can play steadily between hihat and bass drum.

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.

Syncopated Groove

Master the Swiss Army Tap to allow you to play syncopated patterns like this one.

Unison Fill

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