Drum Lessons

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 Swing Fill

Practise triplets of R,L,F and L,R,F in time to a metronome. Then shift from hand to hand singles and back to the linear triplets.

'Rock And Roll' end solo

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

Filling Time - Chapter 2 (sample)

Convert simple hand-to-hand patterns into advanced linear sticking patterns...

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.

Unison Fill

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