Drum Lessons

12/8 Groove

Count this out at slow tempos in order to get comfortable with the 12/8 feel. Count every second 8th whilst playing to improve timing.

Guitar Center Solo

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

Toto - 'Africa' Drum Beat

Play the bass drum hits on beat 1 & 3 slightly louder to create more of a bossa nova/samba feel.

'Rock And Roll' end solo

R,L,F is a signature Bonham triplet. Move it around the kit.

Quintuplets - Groups of 5

More information is covered in my book 'Filling Time'.

Kick Hat Snare 08

Practise the 'closed' roll on the edge of the snare. See how many times you can get the stick to bounce on each hand. Then increase the tempo.
