3 Extremely Fun Metal Fills You Should Try! | DRUM LESSON - That Swedish Drummer

Want to expand your drum fill-vocabulary? Awesome! Because in this drum lesson I'm showing you 3 extremely fun metal fills you should try!
A lot of metal drum fills are meant to be played fast and heavy, and you'll most likely use double pedals to a achieve maximum smoothness and speed for your drum fills.
However, if you don't own a double pedal or a double bass drum set - you can still play all of these 3 drum fills with a single pedal! (With some practice of course!)

What a great video! Excellent teaching and production work, too. Having the sheet music on the screen is also helpful! Thank you!

[@MN-ez3kx]

This vid may be a year old, but man, thank you. I've been lost on fills for a while. Always playing the same boring ones. Been wanting to try something different. Those are all awesome! I can't wait to practice them!

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Have fun!! :D

[@montanalife3530]

TY for breaking down #3! That's the one I'm trying to learn the most and it's eluding me. Hannes in Sabaton uses it all the time and they're one of my favorite bands to play \m/

"The raining fire" was new to me. I'd also like to know what is it called that is played "RH RK LH LK RH RK LH LK.....". It sounds awesome like a rolling thunder.

[@-JeffreyDahmer-]

Damn those toms tho ❤ killer sound

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

🙌🔥

[@BrianH020]

I like the "raining fire" 6 note fill phrased as 16th note sextuplets, played on the quarter for three beats, then a hard flam on the snare on beat 4. Tasty fills CJ! 👍

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

I'm glad you enjoy it! Let me know if you have any lesson-requests! :D

I like how you get right to the point on these lessons. The production and presentation are great too. Im surprised you weren't a Paiste user having being in Europe and their presence there. Glad you switched. I prefer them even though I use a little of everything.$$

Glad you liked it, Sully! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words 😃🙌

You have some of the best sounding drums on you tube bro!! And I'm so glad your playing Paiste cymbals!! I can tell the difference. Those cymbals compliment the drums!!

Let it take time, bud! And have fun with it 😃

[@colonel__corn]

I might not exactly be the target audience for this, as I don't really play drums at all, but this video was so amazing and helpful. I'm an aspiring composer that is gradually learning more about drums and, as I'm trying to write some video-game style music this is definitely one of the best tutorials that I've found to help me with metal and metal-style drum patterns (not just the fills). Seriously, this is so cool. Thanks!

[@colonel__corn]

aaaand subscribed

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

WOW! Thank you so much for the kind words, I really appreciate that 😃 Hopefully the rest of my content (and up'n'coming content) will be as entertaining to watch 😃

[@francisalpers7252]

Thank you for that great tutorial! Do you mind telling me a little bit about your Drum Set Up? Which Set are you using? Is it a 20 inch Base Drum with the Toms mounted on a rack system? Greets Francis

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Thanks, Francis! I have a Pearl Reference Series kit, and it’s a 22x18” bass drum. Yes, I use a drum rack to mount my rack toms and cymbal stands.

Amazing video ! I love how your snare sounds. What is the model and the drumhead you are using ? :)

Is there any trick to playing hertas fast or is each stroke still a wrist stroke? (No rebound is there?)

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Of course there's rebound :) There's no specific trick. All it takes is practice and keeping a relaxed grip!

[@stevealexander415]

@@ThatSwedishDrummer sorry I didn’t word that very well haha do you think of fast hertas as all wrist strokes or does the right hand lead use double strokes to keep up?

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

@@stevealexander415 nah I never put double strokes in hertas. 😊

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

If I can do it, so can you!

[@lavitikis100]

I have never ever in my life learned left to right ever I just did what feels right. Also I play laft handed on a right handed set up. Horrible habit and it's hard to break. But I definitely could call me self intermediate from practicing for hours by my self. I play metal with a double pedal but I usually play a lot of rlrlrlrl stuff 😅. Or rlbbrlbbrlbbrlbbelbb for my metal fillers. So this stuff it's really hard. I need to start practicing llrllrllrllr on a drum pad or I feel I will never break my skill level.

[@artzidelijohndrummer]

Awesomeeeeeeee video my dear friend ,i want to send you some songs of my band to tell me your opinion if you want when you have time

[@lobbyrobby]

Slow it down about 75 bpm and I'm ready lol

[@stevenking6036]

Isn’t the third fill essentially what’s called a “Portnoy”?

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Not really 😄 I mean he uses it frequently, but a lot of metal drummers use it (and drummers long before Portnoy) ^^
