Simple Drum Fill, But Not Simple Sounding

By Nate Brown

This lesson focuses on a sixteenth-note triplet fill that's easy to grasp, but because of the syncopated snare strokes that really stand out, this groove sounds much more difficult than it actually is. Of course, playing difficult-sounding drum fills shouldn't be your main goal. This drum fill has a lot of tasteful applications.
