Filling Time - Chapter 2 (sample)

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

Linear Drum Fill 02

Practise to a metronome at a slow tempo to ensure the cross-sticking is clean.

Kick Hat Snare 05

Practise the 6 stroke roll: R,L,R,R,L,L. Next play it in groups of three as triplets.

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.

Songo-inspired halftime

Play R,L,F,L with accents in different places. Keep right hand on Hihat and left hand on the snare.
