Epic Drum Fill Idea
In this lesson we look at playing an epic sounding drum fill that can be played as either 2 measures 16th notes or a single bar of 32nd notes. In this video, I will be mainly looking at playing it as a 32nd note lick. The pattern consists of groupings of 4 and 6, with a single quarter note at the end. This fill uses a slightly more challenging sticking pattern, with double strokes, accents, ghost notes and kicks.
8th Note Drum Grooves/Fills – Beginners
In lesson we look at playing a pattern of solid 8th notes between the kick and snare drum with the hats as a single measure/bar drum break. This is a cool idea in which you can experiment with a number of ideas without venturing too far from the main groove. You can also use this concept for making up some interesting drum beats, or mix them in into a 2 bar drum groove.
More Cowbell! – Drum Beat From Feeling This – by Blink 182
In this video lesson, we are going to take a look at the cowbell groove from the track 'Feeling This' by Blink 182, featuring Travis Barker on drums. This sweet groove has got a latin style ostinato with the left hand on the cowbell, while your right hand maintains a basic 16th note 4/4 beat on the hats and snare, making this an overall tricky groove to get down. Hope you enjoy!
Intro Of Last Letter – by One Day As A Lion
This a drum lesson in which we break down the opening drum beat from the track 'Last Letter', by the band One Day As A Lion, featuring Zack de la Rocha, the vocalist of Rage Against the Machine and Jon Theodore, former drummer of The Mars Volta. This is a cool three bar groove with lots of syncopation and ghost notes to have some fun with. I highly recommend you download the sheet music for this one!
Subdivided 16th Note Linear Drum Fill
Here is a great idea in which we are subdividing 16th notes in to four groups of 3 and one group of 4 played between the hands and kick drum. This concept has a great feel to it and will catch the listener off guard, which is always a good thing. In this lesson we shall be exploring a number of ideas you can use this idea between the kick, snare, and hats. I might do a part 2 and mover the idea around the kit if you want me too.
