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.

Linear Drum Fill 01

L,R,F triplet is the basis of this fill. Learn it and also, L,R,L,R,F.

Kick Hat Snare 05

Practise the 6 stroke roll: R,L,R,R,L,L. Next play it in groups of three as triplets.

Songo-inspired halftime

Play R,L,F,L with accents in different places. Keep right hand on Hihat and left hand on the snare.

Sneaky Shuffle Variation

Time the drop of the stick to allow the ghostnote to land between the shuffle pattern. There is no need for much force here, simply timing.

Manky Beat

A manky sounding linear pattern played open-handed between hihat, snare and floor tom.
