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.

Toto - 'Africa' Drum Beat

Play the bass drum hits on beat 1 & 3 slightly louder to create more of a bossa nova/samba feel.

Toto - 'Mushanga'

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

'Rock And Roll' end solo

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

'50 Ways To Leave Your Lover' - Drum Intro

Practise linear patterns between hands and hihat pedal.
