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.

32nd Note Fill

Work on the basic 6 note pattern between the hands and feet (RLRLFF).

Linear Drum Beat

Learn the R,L,F and L,R,F combinations slowly and lightly with an emphasis on moving from the forearm/elbow.

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.

Triple Stroke Bass Drum Exercise

Use the heel-toe method to play a double stroke. Add another toe stroke to complete the triple stroke.

Unison Fill

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