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.

Deep Purple - 'Fireball' Drum Intro

Get the double bass pattern down first. You can play this with a slight swing to give the right feel.

Walk This Way - Drum Intro

Timing the bass drum with the open hihat bark is the key to nailing this beat.

Linear Drum Fill 03

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

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.

Unison Fill

Practise moving from flams to unison and back again to improve accuracy. This example is mostly finger work.
