A Sweet Sounding & Sexy Looking Drum Fill
Description
Hello and happy new year guys! I thought we would kick off the year with a drum fill that looks as cool as it sounds.
It is two different sticking patterns stuck together played as 16th note sextuplets. The first pattern is single stroke rolls around the kit followed by four single strokes and then two kicks. Throughout this fill you will end up crossing the hands over each other which is great for builing coordination and visual splender. To me, it has a Buddy Rich look and sound to it which is never a bad thing. In the video, I am using it as a two bar drum fill and ending it with a group of single strokes to make it easier to drop back into the groove.
