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.

Kick Hat Snare 05

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

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.

Manky Beat

A manky sounding linear pattern played open-handed between hihat, snare and floor tom.

Playing Across The Bar Line

Use a metronome to keep the count while you experiment with playing over the bar line.

Linear-Type Beat

Practise cross-handed sticking between splashes and cymbals.
