Hi Joe , just turned 50 and have played in my 20,s without any teaching, now with You tube and your help I,ve taken up drumming again and love it! thanks, I love the tute on fills , I've tried to work them out alone in the past with no success!

[@rlbrett]

Your videos are quite polished regarding transition, sound, lighting. Also, your lessons are concise, clear, easy to understand. Thank you, Joe. I'm looking into your website, considering the next step and investing in lessons.

[@joecrabtreedrums]

Thanks for the feedback. I'm really glad you enjoy the content. Be sure to get in touch if you sign up at my site. All the best, Joe

[@MrJpm1989]

I was so happy to leave Pat and Debbie Boone behind in the 70s but now I will forever hear them each time I play or hear drum fills, thank you for that lol.

[@CanecaProductions]

Finally fills without talking crap and straight to the point! Subbed!

[@spark_6710]

Pat Boone & Debbie Boone were American( I believe) singers ,Father& daughter.Back in 70's. A very nice drum lesson video,by the way!

[@PetrTrafina]

Thanks Joe! Very clear and very nicely. Your lessons are absolutely great.

[@paulmaringelli5536]

Pat Boone was a singer in the 1950s. Debbie Boone was his daughter who had a hit record in the 1970s.

[@SkyeBRAAAP]

Just discovered your channel, getting back into drumming after 30 years! It's coming back to me but your videos are very helpful, trying to nail 7days and you break it down very well, i didnt have internet when i was starting out, taught by the great Bob Armstrong back in the day,keep it up Joe,youre a good teacher

[@joecrabtreedrums]

Thanks Martin. Glad you like the videos. I miss Bob. He had the biggest influence on my playing. An amazing teacher and human being.

[@timwoods115]

Joe you are such a perfectionist! You pick yourself up on any slight mistake you make.......The trait of a true master. Your videos are superb and so is your drumming. Thankyou.

[@joecrabtreedrums]

Thanks Tim. I'm glad you enjoy the videos. I just opened up some of the VIP lessons on my site. If you get chance to check the site out (the link is in the video description) I'd love your feedback. Thanks again,Joe

[@stevepethel6843]

Good lessons...just what I was looking for.Pat Boone was popular singer in America. and his daughter Debbie Boone also successful singer of ""You light up my life" I give thanks to God for you giving these lessons...

[@Julie-jq1sy]

Great sounding drum set. The pace of this drumming is nice to follow. The tom fills are actually easy to follow. Will definitely watch this again.

[@insightmetal]

Absolutely useful fills. As you said, it is important to have a bag of breaks and fills in order to survive in any musical situation: jams, song writing process, improvising...

[@B_Bela]

OMG, thanks for sharing these techniques! I was about to lose hope 'cause people are saying I am not good enough, but then I saw this. Thank you so much! ❤

[@Underdog_Drums]

Great vid. These are the fills that land gigs for drummers. Easy, musical, and very clean. I've gotta go back and listen to that tune again. Lots of great usable fills.

[@stephendoerges5073]

Tonight I’m studying drums a bit and this helps heaps thank you

[@joerico9461]

After watching many instructors including the ones from drumeo, a lot of their things just don't come across. But you definitely have a way of explaining things that I can understand. Thanks for your time

[@joecrabtreedrums]

Thanks for taking the time to let me know. I appreciate it. Most of the subscribers on my website are people that like the way I explain things. I guess different teachers have different styles. I have a lot of very in depth lessons on my website. You can find out more at www.joecrabtree.com/join

[@joecrabtreedrums]

It's a Gretsch. 14 x 5 (I think). Evans power centre reverse dot head on the top and a hazy Evans 300 snare side on the bottom. Both cranked pretty high. I think it was an anniversary model or something. It was a gift.

[@tharris1291]

BEST simple fill collectionI have come accross Many thanks!

[@AH.111]

That snare sounds just like Chad Smith's snare. It's just so.. crisp, and sounds absolutely fucking awesome.

[@TheMichaelseymour]

i hate chad smiths sound .

[@buddyrichable1]

Thanks for your redundant comment.

[@brianchisnell1548]

Are you high?

[@davidbaines1425]

I love the drums in this song. I love the style as well. I have been using it to get that double hit on the bass fluid along with the 8th notes being consistent. I have been improvising the fills to be honest, along the theme. After a few months I am glad to say I am now quite proficient at the double and even double double bass hits, but it is fantastic to find your video showing me the fills. And that 3 bass drum part is very interesting! I'll admit I never picked that up. I play it by ear, but to see the technique broken down is brilliant. Thanks.

[@davidnoah4690]

Great teacher...thanks Joe for shearing your wealth of knowledge with us

[@briandrumsandbikes]

Yes. Great sounding snare. Actually everything sounds good. Nice feel as well. You're an excellent teacher.

[@BHAKTIBROPHY]

Joe--you must LOVE Paul Weller. Especially his music in the '90s. His drummer was SO soulful. Some of the most tasteful drumming I've heard in pop/soul music. Just brilliant!

[@buddyrichable1]

Thanks Joe. Probably the most valuable information out there. These are classic fills that sound great, and will actually be used by a working drummer on a regular basis. They are exactly what’s called for in their musical context.

[@FMRebs]

Love this lesson. Easy for a beginner like me to understand and catch on to.

[@technicalydead5755]

Best one is 4:48 gulp accented with stick click. Great

[@richiecomia2547]

This was a very informative video; great explanations, fantastic demonstrations, and a nice, relaxed pace. And oh yeah---the drums and cymbals sound amazing!

[@damonlocker1787]

Just a quick thanks for the lessons and advice. It's rare to find a teacher brave enough to really slow it down. I continue to improve. (Although you'd hope so considering I practice at least 2hrs a day (totally hooked)) :) Cheers!

[@laahchan1]

Really appreciate this lesson. Te fills are so useful in so many similar grooves.

[@Mojodrwumungojerry]

Very cool and usable stuff. Thanks.

[@tednugentlives]

I'm a new drummer, these are soo helpful. These fundamental grooves explained greatly helped me out. Thanks Joe

[@joecrabtreedrums]

Thanks :) Glad they're helping. You might want to check out my site (URL in the video description). You can sign up on there for some free lessons. They're a bit more advanced, but you might find the concepts useful. Cheers, Joe

[@burakg7246]

Hi Joe! I dont often watch drum videos, trying to experiment on my own...However, whenever I watch your vids, I immediately come up with new ideas! Thx for the Vids!

[@joecrabtreedrums]

You're welcome. I try to make all my lessons like that. If you haven't checked out my site (link in video description) there are more lessons on there. I don't put as much directly on KZbin any more.

[@Gigless]

He is my favorite drummer ever !

[@lisaaugustin3223]

Pat Boone is a singing star, Debbie Boone is his daughter, she is a singer too, the song she made famous was "You light up my life" back in the 70's ,

[@drumwithmatt]

Thanks for this great workshop on the R&B fills of Gene Lake, Mr. Joe. You da Guv-na!

[@superporcinet]

My hero! One of my favourite songs! I've loved your deep purple video, and I love this one

[@hawkrider88]

Pat Boone and Debby Boone..."I don't know who they are". HA! Now I feel old. Pat was a HUGE American star in the 50s and 60s and even outsold Elvis Presley at the time. Had his own TV show as well. Debby is his daughter who was also pretty big in the 70-80s and had one big hit, You Light Up My Life. I enjoy your videos Joe!

[@joeyhandeland]

Thank you for posting. I was looking for something like what you have explained. Well done!! Great sound in your room, to.

[@kevinn4592]

Awesome lesson Joe, i got a few of these on lock already. Still working on a couple of the harder one's. Really appreciate the work you put into your lessons. Thanks again.

[@jimmydrummer]

Great work, one of my fave songs growing up too! Well explained.

[@antonhaggmeijer8418]

Your kit is amazing! Love this video, complete genius!

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

As always, nice job Joe. Keep up the great work.

[@jazzpoliceman]

Drummer Gene Lake played "Would I Lie To You" on the famous studio track :)

[@techdrums4204]

Just discovered your you tube channel. I am a beginner drummer and I like it. Subscribed.

[@alexboardman4613]

Your kit sounds amazing

[@THEMINDCIRCLE]

[@nitaicohen783]

I love your lessons man! Thank you!

[@FLAIR_DWI]

I Learn a lot from your lessons man,Thanks! :)

[@veljkorakic5763]

Dude thank you for those awesome ideas!!

[@tosinkingfishercheeseburge8901]

Really good drum beat

[@SlikkTim]

Great fill ideas ! The ultimate 'soul' fill, for me, is still the Earl Young thing he played on all the classic Delfonics / Stylistics records. I call it the "Pak Paka Dum" fill ahah ! The simplest thing really, but if you really lay it down with that laid back feel, its just "that" sound.

[@datdaotrong]

Thankyou Joe, it is very helpful

[@JulianFernandez]

Gonna work on that 3 kick fill... Thanks! :)

[@charliebucket53]

ur kit is awesome and thanks for the cool fills dude

[@kwaddy]

Thanks Joe! This lesson really helped!

[@adityachakravarty9211]

Snare is tuned very crisp. Do you have a tutorial for this

[@Wisdomgabriel]

Nice lesson Joe, thanks alot.

[@edinkorea]

Hi Joe Thanks for your great instructional videos. I'm a beginner drummer, and I really enjoy learning your drum fills. But I need some clarity on Fill No.2. I tried to watch it in slow motion, but I still can't see where your sticks are going. Please could you give me that drum sequence?

[@joecrabtreedrums]

It's just single strokes - R L R L R L R On some of them I have an extra right at the end. Just move your hands around the drums until you find things that you like the sound of. One example is Sn Sn F T Sn T F (where Sn - snare, F = floor tom, T - rack tom)

[@ecclairmayo4153]

Subscribed! I like your teaching style

[@manifestgtr]

man...I haven't heard that song in years would I lie to you baby, would I lie to youuuuuu

[@cliffordesolomon8923]

[@BritishBulldog4]

Joe, thanks for your videos! :) Could you check that the intro fill video link is the right one please? I have a recollection there was another one you did... I found it very useful and wanted to go over that fill with my daughter who's learning drums :)

[@MattSudeta]

Amazing Tutorial!!!

[@joecrabtreedrums]

+Matt Sudeta Thankyou.

[@rockybalboa2526]

Hey.. just found your video.. AND happen to have the trivia pat and debbie boone answer! : ) lol.. pat boone was a singer in the 50s'-60s and is the father of debbie boone! who had atleast one hit record that i myself liked in the mid 70's.. called.. " you lite up my life ". ......... there you go..

[@rockybalboa2526]

Hey, i wasnt finished watching the full video before when i commented. now after seeing the full video. i wanted to come back and say nice fills! and i also wanted to comment on your comment about how you struggle at times to come up with new fills, so your not playing the same ones.. and i teach music too. ( drums too ) and i want to suggest that you go back to " your feeling"! this may sound ridiculously simplistic and basic! BUT! i do find so many people forget it! so that needed to be said. music is a feeling! when your " riding the wave" just " feel " it. feel the groove! and you will be surprised at one comes out of your musical consciousness! dont think abou it. FEEL IT and FOLLOW THE GROOVE... if there is no groove? and your not feeling it? then dont expect to be able to play to it.... ~

[@hering67]

Great Video - thank you - To answer your first question, the drummer on WOULD I LIE TO YOU and the whole album DUOPHONIC by Charles&Eddie is Gene Lake. I found the album not long after the song was a hit in the bargain section of my favourute record-store and was very surprised to find some of the big names of the 90ies-NYC-Jazz-Fusion-Scene amomg the personell. The album itself is quite lame and boring, i guess that was the reason for the ONE-HIT-WONDER. Same with the follow-up CHOCOLATE MILK in 1995.
