Red Hot Chili Peppers - 'Dani California' Intro

Work on one-handed ruffs, bass drum double-strokes and, of course, timing and feel...

Guitar Center Solo

Learning the R,L,R,F combination is key to playing this pattern.

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.

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

Practise cross-handed sticking between splashes and cymbals.
