Drum Lessons

3 Pedals 2 Feet

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

Halftime Groove

Work on the 16th patterns in bar 3 between hand and foot separately. Be careful to play the ghostnotes lightly.

Linear Drum Fill 03

Play this fill without the double strokes on the bass drum initially to get a sense of the rhythm.

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.

Ghostnote Groove

Practise pull-out accents on the snare hand. Watch for this accent on the second double of the shuffle.

Sting - Seven Days (basic pattern)

A hypnotic pattern in 5 which sounds easier than it really is.
