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.

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

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

With inverted doubles the pulse will be felt on the second stroke. Practise at low tempos to begin with.
