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.

Moscow Groove

Practise the first 8 notes of this pattern on a practise pad only. Use it in daily playing. Gradually introduce the bass drum hits.

Linear Drum Beat

Learn the R,L,F and L,R,F combinations slowly and lightly with an emphasis on moving from the forearm/elbow.

Guitar Center Solo

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

Toto - 'Mushanga'

Be aware of the dynamics Jeff uses to create this feel. Some drums are accented, others are tapped lightly.

Quintuplets - Groups of 5
