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.

The Bonhadiddle (Moby Dick)

Happens around the 2 minute mark. Swap the double 'L' in a regular paradiddle for 2 bass drum strokes.

Street Beatz 01

Practice linear patterns between snare, hihat and kick in 4/4. RLF, LRF etc.

Alternating Linear Fill

Play the linear pattern without accents. Next accent every third note, alternating between hand and foot. Switch hands.

Playing Across The Bar Line

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

7/8 Groove

Use a metronome at a low tempo to memorise the intricate rhythms before you attempt them at full speed.
