Nothing Else Matters - Drum Fill Concept

By Nate Brown

Learn a cool technique used by Lars in the song Nothing Else Matters.

The first and second endings below use an interesting concept of playing a common 4/4 sounding phrase within the context of 6/8. This throws off the listener just enough to be cool ... being unpredictable keeps a drum part exciting to listen to.

 

Drum notation for the "Nothing Else Matters Drum Fill Concepts" drum lesson.

 

Don't go too crazy, however. It's most important that what you play fits the music. If it fits, go for it!
