Are you an ‘experienced beginner’ or intermediate drummer looking to add some more complex-sounding vocabulary to your arsenal? This is the lesson for you.
In just 10 minutes, you’ll learn three fills that are actually really easy, but sound difficult.
0:00 Intro
2:25 #1. Groups of 3 as 16th notes
5:47 #2. Groups of 5 as 16th notes
8:47 #3. Groups of 7 as 16th notes
Since drumming is mostly a combination of singles and doubles - just changing where you place them - the sky’s the limit when it comes to writing and playing fills. These ones help build skills with your left hand leading, and involve odd groupings of 3s, 5s, and 7s translated to 16ths.
Don’t forget to experiment with these combinations around the kit in whatever order sounds or feels good to you. Start slowly and then try them out at higher tempos.

Been following you guys for about a year now and I have to say a massive shout out to you for not only providing some of the best teaching content out there but also for opening my eyes to drummers I had never heard of and styles I had never considered before. Keep on doing what you are doing and spreading that positivity 😁

[@LikeaGlove90]

The first fill is something I'm practicing and I've never felt I sounded cool until now (even tho I know I still sound like a dork!). I'm having fun, that's all that matters. Thank you so much for these simple videos - this changes everything for us!

[@fuzzydrumming1759]

Jared, I just wanna say how impressed I continue to be by your transparency and humility in your drumming. You are obvious;y far beyond most drummers, yet are not afraid to admit your struggles....well done.

[@varin9066]

Amazing fills👌🏻👌🏻 Thank you drumeo for these lessons!

Cool! I never thought of doing these, especially the 5 and 7 group patterns. I tried them and they're all very playable. Thanks!

[@connerdavenport7282]

[@aptopowerup]

[@erensametkaratas6593]

I've been struggling for a while now with how to do fills while having a nice rhythm. I've watched some videos and none of them helped. Not that they were bad videos, it's just they didn't work for me. But with this one, I think I finally got it and it feels like it clicked. Thank you for this foolproof video.

[@mrvy33]

These are excellent Jared! This gives me a lot to work on. I appreciate it!

[@assassin660]

I never really looked into playing fills with different sticking, so I always play RLRL. But man, this sounds amazing! Definitely going to try this! Hopefully it will take my fills to the next level. Thanks so much Jared! This is why I love Drumeo

I've been doing these odd groupings right hand lead with 16th notes for years and have loved it, but to simply lead with the left as a variation makes total sense. Thanks for reminding me I have a left side of my body. I can't wait to put to practice. Lastly, this lesson motivates me to try these odd groupings within triplet based fills- doing some recalculating math during the process.

[@AD-Dom]

I swear I found this at exactly the right time in my drumming journey. Great stuff!

[@shadowlandstudios86]

I stumbled upon the RLL and LRR fills many years ago. One of my favorite and most versatile patterns.

[@jesse29barton]

I've been watching your videos for years. You are an absolute scholar of a musician. Respect.

[@Fire-de3ru]

Thank you so much because i have always had troubles with my fills but those hand movements are what i warm up with because i usually play ghost notes and so it has put my warm up into a fill which i am really happy about so thank you for showing us this.

[@hejter4454]

It's great that you can take simple 16th notes, group them like that and surprisingly it sounds so cool and fresh. Also you can take triplets and group them 2/4 and so on, and it works the same. Great video! Cheers.

[@xNARCx]

I’m ambidextrous and play drums fairly evenly but I’ve naturally led left on fills even though I have my kit set up regularly so this is GREAT! I’ve always felt like I needed to retrain myself to lead right but now I know I just need to practice more however it’s comfortable for me.

Great video. I appreciate the idea of developing a concept to it greatest potential. I also agree with you statements on your students surpassing you. As a teacher myself, it remains my primary goal (Build them up and move them on). Thanks for great content.

[@gregpatnude4264]

Great video and tutorial. Really spells it out for people. I got lucky -- I'm a left handed drummer that plays right -- I was trained in public and private and learnt the standard rudiments in 1969 at age 7. I'm 61 now and play/practice regularly with a band or two. Because I was trained by right-handed people, I learned to lead right when playing the drums but would naturally try and lead left. Everyone should master their triplets, diddles, flamadiddles, paradiddles, and any kind of odd-number (3-5-7-9-11-13-15-17) patterns as fills, and single-stick patterns with either hand. Once you can switch your lead- and patterns back and forth start dropping/missing beats out of the pattern (simply rest (^) instead of sticking it) -- start moving the sticking onto the various drums and other noise makers and you get cool-ass syncopated -arpeggiated odd-meter-patterns and grooves that sound like nobody else... The trick I had to learn was being able to fluently switch patterns, sticking, and target (drum/tom/cymbal/cowbell, etc).

[@jford1]

Really great video, explaining some cool ideas which I can't wait to try - thank you so much!

Always good stuff from the Drumeosters. A follow up would be to take each grouping and play them in every subdivision. For just the three note combination (RLL, LRR, RRL, LLR) it would be playing them over triplets, sixteenths (quadruplets), quintuplets, sextuplets and septuplets. Same thing with all the other groupings. Then permutate the shit out of everything and add a kick in the mix. 10 years of practice right there.
