I started drumming only a month ago. I have a teacher, but between the lessons and practices I really like to watch your videos and read your pdfs. They are amazing! You are a great teacher. Englis is not my first langueage but I still understand everything you say or explain, and you are helping me so much, and I'm so greatful for that. Thank you! ❤️

Rock With You is my all-time fill, but Two Princes feels like an honorable mention here. Signature drum intro fill

This Love by Pantera has a fantastically simple but effective fill into the solo, that when played wrong absolutely kills the song. Lacquer Head by Primus also has a pretty cool triplet fill into the second verse, that is easy but sounds great when you nail it coming into the verse groove. Great video btw! You deserve so many more views than you get.

Totally nailed it bro! These are simple yet challenging. The way they work to help the song, the band, put together a build drum section to section are perfect. One note... watch Phil Collins play the ``In the air tonight fill live`` he really digs in and plays almost the entire fill with tight flams (at a speed faster than the recording)

Ok, I'm 60 seconds into the video and that hi-hat fill stuck out as Jack and Diane, a song I never liked and only ever heard in passing, usually at CVS. So I guess we can say that drum fill is pretty iconic.

Actually, I believe Phil played In the Air Tonight with flams when performing live :-) Great video, thank you!!
@pietzsche3 жыл бұрын
Pretty much, but double stops, so no actual flamming the hits, and each hand is on a separate drum There's a few variations too iirc

Tell ya who you should have a listen to for some lovely drumming... Ian Mosley, from Marillion. So it's from 'Clutching at Straws' and 'Misplaced Childhood' onwards. Tho, Mick Pointer(their 1st stixman/thundergod), was also a brilliant 'timesmith'. The fills that use 32-16-4 in quick succession, in short fills, are brilliant. If the numbers don't mean anything to you, just have a listen to the earlier albums with Mick(then copied by Ian to keep the feel of the band drumwise), and you'll see what I mean. (Bit similar to your no.2 and no.1). Also, Mr Allen, outer Def Lepp. He's got some odd fills and drumming patterns which probably wouldn't have happened if his arm hadn't been ripped off by a fast car. It, along with Phil's iconic guitar voice, give them the sound that makes them who they are. A lot of the time, a bands 'sound' is given by the main guitarists sound, and this is no different with Lepp. It's obviously Phil playing, wherever you hear him(that's def leppard, they cry.!.), but in Lepps case, the drumming is clearly different, as it's an electronic voice. He's got a style all of his own which is a huge part of their overall sound. Not that many bands can say that. You could swap the drummer out in 90% of bands and no one would really notice. If you watch him do his solo during their main set, you do wonder how good he would be with what he has, plus an extra appendage 🤣. But listen to the first 3 albums, then their 'Hysteria' album, and it's clear to hear the difference. I think loosing his arm actually made him a better drummer, and, I much prefer the drum style from 'Hysteria' onwards. BUT... WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THESE 2 DRUMMERS STYLES.? I'd love to hear from a professional what you think. LOVE THE VIDS. KEEP'EM COMING. RICH 🥰🥰🥰.

Single strokes, doubles, and paradiddles. The "forearm crusher" is a great exercise to develop technique. All 16ths (1e&a2e&a3e&a4e&a); 1 bar of singles, 1 bar of doubles, 1 bar of single parradiddles, transitioning immediately into the next rudiment and in a cycle. Honestly, you could practice just doubles for about 3 years straight before you really get the technique down. lol! Also, understanding the difference between open strokes and closed strokes while approaching them. Developing fine touch is *super* important! You can always play louder, but developing fine touch for ghosts and rolls and whatnot takes some technique. Happy drumming!

As Blake said, focus on single strokes, doubles, and paradiddles. Rob Brown's 4800 double stroke workout is pretty good and definitely challenging. Keep your limbs loose to prevent injury and make sure you're having fun when playing

The Paramore fill doesn't have a triplet at the end but rather two dotted eighths plus an eighth. Great video though! I like that your focus is more on counting and precision rather than lightning-fast tom rolls

Straight up 12 note triplets. One and a two and a three and a four and a one. The first three triplets are between the high hat and the snare. The Last triplet is snare, rack tom, floor Tom.👍
