Creating Your Own Fills

By Alex Ribchester Drum Lessons, Level 1 Drum Lessons, Rudiments, Techniques & Concepts, Thursday Drum Lessons 16th notes, Alex Ribchester, drum fills

Description

This is a simple concept that is great for creating your own drum fills. In this video we use 3 different sticking patterns A is R,Kick,R,Kick B is R,L,R,Kick and C is R,L,R,L. Each of these patterns are in 16ths and we are randomly piecing them together to create a cool fill. This is a great idea for beginners to start introducing the Kick drum into 16th note drum licks. As always feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions.
