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.

Guitar Center Solo

Learning the R,L,R,F combination is key to playing this pattern.

Toto - 'Mushanga'

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

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.

Sneaky Shuffle Variation

Time the drop of the stick to allow the ghostnote to land between the shuffle pattern. There is no need for much force here, simply timing.

Foo Fighters ‘Rope’

Practise playing the bass drum with the crash cymbal on your weaker hand (See bar 3) @ 2mins 50.
