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.

Drum Solo Triplets

Blistering singles and doubles between the hands and feet in a triplet pattern.

Halftime Groove

Work on the 16th patterns in bar 3 between hand and foot separately. Be careful to play the ghostnotes lightly.

Solo Groove

Syncopated Groove

Master the Swiss Army Tap to allow you to play syncopated patterns like this one.
