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.

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.

Halftime Groove & Fill

Play with a metronome set to a low tempo and count in 16ths.

Linear Drum Fill 03

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

Doubling Up

You may need to experiment with different bass pedal settings to find the right spring tension for you.

Kick Hat Snare 07

You can change the pitch of the hihat bell by applying some pressure to the pedal. Find the sound you like best.
