Drum Lessons

3 Pedals 2 Feet

A Dennis Chambers-inspired 'fat foot' technique which involves playing the hihat and slave bass pedal together.

32nd Note Fill

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

Deep Purple - 'Fireball' Drum Intro

Get the double bass pattern down first. You can play this with a slight swing to give the right feel.

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.

Solo Groove

Try this on the practise pad first. Get comfortable with the right hand sticking as much of the bass drum pattern copies this.

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.
