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.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - 'Dani California' Intro

Work on one-handed ruffs, bass drum double-strokes and, of course, timing and feel...

Linear Swing Fill

Practise triplets of R,L,F and L,R,F in time to a metronome. Then shift from hand to hand singles and back to the linear triplets.

Street Beatz 03

Jojo starts the beat with pull-out accents on the snare hand. Start at a slow tempo and aim for accuracy and good dynamics.
