Crash Your Fill

Nate Brown2013-09-22T15:29:16-04:00
By Nate Brown Drum Lessons, Level 3 Drum Lessons, Monday Drum Lessons, Techniques & Concepts drum fills

Description

This lesson explores the creation of a second layer using the crash cymbals. Often we get stuck into a rut of using the crash only to end a drum fill. Using the crash in a similar way that you would use a tom or snare creates a unique and fuller sound. As with any technique, there is a time and place where it's appropriate. Use this as a tool to expand your options.
