In this lesson I talk about a simple concept that'll let you turn one simple fill into 28! With a couple of alterations you can turn that into thousands of fills.

I was actually searching how to make electronic drum fills. Your video was the best one.

[@dkp920]

This is a real creative and great way to create drum fills! Thanks for sharing this Joe!

[@TokiWardguitar]

Me and my bassist were sat here trying to programme fills, this helped a whole lot, awesome video. Thank you!

[@MikeyCiancio]

What a great method. You're a fantastic teacher Joe.

[@joecrabtreedrums]

Thank you. I have a lot of stuff over on my website too. If you haven't checked it out the link is in the video description.

[@scottmacgregor4622]

I'm a keyboardist wanting to add some drum fills to my recordings; this was invaluable!

[@spdhegde]

The best video on this topic, hands down

[@speakthetruth110]

" If you maybe found this useful " , that's an understatement ! I'm a keyboardist, struggling to program some drum fills from scratch. So glad I stumbled on this channel. Actually it was a Google Search " What is a drum fill ? " and your video popped up in # 1 position. Thank you so much Joe. 😁 😎 Awesome ! !

Joe is an awesome drummer and teacher.

[@urbanfox93]

Really simple but smart concept - Thanks

[@quintengromowski277]

this is actually ingenius

[@Samastano]

nice tutorial, the live drums sound so nice and natural. I ll give this a try in fl studio asap ❤

[@HoldenMcG]

Nice way to visually communicate a fill concept - - also a more compelling way to show the concept than ordinary written drum tabs (or more formal notation). I also like the newer studio setup - lighting and layout is much better than the early days! Keep up the good work!!!

[@ZeroTheHeroGOAT]

Sweet simplicity. Great idea, Joe!

Of course. It's just a concept for generating ideas. you can do with it whatever you like.
