Drum Fill Ideas With Hertas

Description

In this weeks lesson I have put together a few drum fill ideas that have a fixed herta pattern over beats 3 and 4, while coming up with some fun sticking and voicing ideas for beats 1 and 2. This is a great way to learn how to play the herta and how to mix the pattern up with some other basic sticking patterns.
