Drum Lessons

Buddy Rich Sixes

This is a six stroke pattern in triplets using the ride cymbal, snare and bass drum. You can play this pattern starting on any of the six notes.

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 02

Practise to a metronome at a slow tempo to ensure the cross-sticking is clean.

Triple Stroke Bass Drum Exercise

Use the heel-toe method to play a double stroke. Add another toe stroke to complete the triple stroke.

Unison Fill

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