Tasty Intermediate – Advanced Drum Lick

Description

This lesson builds upon last week's Thursday lesson by adding an extra measure of a more dynamic and complex sticking pattern to "buff" it up to a more advanced-level drum fill.

I advise that intermediate level drummers to check out the Tasty Intermediate Drum Lick lesson before taking this little beauty on.
