Drum Lessons

Drum Solo Triplets

Blistering singles and doubles between the hands and feet in a triplet pattern.

Halftime Groove & Fill

Play with a metronome set to a low tempo and count in 16ths.

Kick Hat Snare 03

The L,F,R triplet is key to learning this beat. Practise it in 12/8.

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.

Playing Across The Bar Line

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

Ghostnote Groove

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