Drum Lessons

Linear Drumming Pattern

A good warm up exercise. Focus on clean strokes with good time at lower tempos. Accents can be alternated between hand and foot.

Break down the fill into parts. Work on the hand and foot combinations separately first, then put it together and gradually increase the tempo.

Toto - 'Mushanga'

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

Kick Hat Snare 03

The L,F,R triplet is key to learning this beat. Practise it in 12/8.

Alternating Linear Fill

Play the linear pattern without accents. Next accent every third note, alternating between hand and foot. Switch hands.
