Tom Groove & Drum Fill

By Alex Ribchester Drum Lessons, Level 1 Drum Lessons, Level 2 Drum Lessons, Level 3 Drum Lessons drum fills, green day, tom groove, tre cool

Description

For This week's lesson I have stolen a couple of ideas from Green Day drummer Tre Cool. We will be combining the tom groove that pops up in 'American Idiot' and a sticking pattern from one of Tre's fills in 'Basket Case'. We will also explore a simple, but effective voicing pattern to give the fill a bit more variety and keep the listeners guessing. I hope you like it!
