Epic Intermediate Rock, Pop, Metal Drum Fill

Description

This lesson explores a two-measure drum fill split between the hands and foot. This is a great intermediate drum fill that can be applied to rock, pop or metal situations.

This idea can be played with either a single or a double pedal and is a great workout for hand/feet coordination. The pattern is solid 16th or 32nd notes depending on the speed of your groove.
