Drum Lessons

32nd Note Fill

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

Learn the R,L,F and L,R,F combinations slowly and lightly with an emphasis on moving from the forearm/elbow.

Filling Time - Chapter 2 (sample)

Convert simple hand-to-hand patterns into advanced linear sticking patterns...

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.

Unison Fill

Practise moving from flams to unison and back again to improve accuracy. This example is mostly finger work.

32nd Note Inverted Doubles

With inverted doubles the pulse will be felt on the second stroke. Practise at low tempos to begin with.
