Yes! Matt Cameron was my first 'favorite' drummer and I still try to emulate a lot of his style to this day. Great breakdown of a killer fill.

[@oldben1800]

The more I breakdown Matt, the more insane his product becomes...what a legend

[@JeffBowders]

Legend indeed!

[@CarlosGonzalez-mr5qz]

Nice job man! I always wondered how that fill was done.

[@JeffBowders]

My pleasure. Glad is was helpful!

[@Cvitandrums]

The whole Temple of The Dog album is filled with magical Matt moments, but the ultimate for me is the verse groove in Wooden Jesus. Keep up the amazing work Jeff.

[@JeffBowders]

Absolutely love that entire album. Matt's playing is perfection!

[@ObsidianLife]

I've always said that Matt Cameron plays the fill you SHOULD have played!

[@JeffBowders]

Haha! Sounds about right!

[@conversacionesbaterapeuticas]

Matt is ,with Tony Williams, Elvin and John Bonham one of my absolute major influences .An absolute master.

[@JeffBowders]

All Legends!

Awesome lesson! Matt is superb! What about a lesson on track ten on that very same album.... ...Never the Machine Forever. 9/8 all the way!!!

[@JeffBowders]

Now that's a great idea! One of the tastiest grooves ever!

[@heylad]

Really great job on the tutorial for this great fill, Jeff! Thank you! Matt has always been one of my favorite drummers. To me his drumming has always been on another level, as far as creativity and musicality. Because of that, I've always firmly believed that he must also be a guitar player. I've never looked into confirming my theory, but I still believe it.

[@JeffBowders]

Thank you! And you are %100 correct. Matt is a great singer, guitarist and songwriter. Which, as you suspected, makes him such a musical drummer. Definitely helps to see the "big picture" when you can relate to the other musicians. You obviously have a good ear for that too.

[@heylad]

@@JeffBowders Ah, excellent. Thank you so much for confirming what I've always believed. I appreciate the reply and the very kind words! Really love your channel, by the way!

[@DAGDRUM53]

I see you're playing your rack toms mounted on cymbal stands which allows them to move. Do you do that because having them mounted on the bass drum decreases the resonance of a freely moving tom? Does one option outweigh the other, or is it just personal choice? Those are some badass sounding drums by the way.

[@JeffBowders]

I mainly have them mounted on stands to limit the restrictions of where I can place them. Generally I like to have my bass drum a bit more to the right but I want my toms to stay in a more traditional position. Having them on stands allows me to do that. I know sonically some people will make the argument that mounting toms on a bass drum will some how compromise the integrity of the tone - and sure that's possible, but honestly not enough for me to be concerned about. If you have a well made drum, with some good heads tuned decently and (most importantly) you play it with intention, just about any drum will sound good, regardless what mounting system is used. Hopefully this helps!

[@DAGDRUM53]

@@JeffBowders Thanks for the reply, Jeff.

Matt Cameron is Drummer of Pearl Jam I like fills in 32second notes

[@JeffBowders]

Matt sounds great in every band he's in. Legend!

[@jamesbuckley9108]

Matt is always in my Top 10 lost of favorite drummers, and your excellent lesson clearly demonstrates why.

[@JeffBowders]

Thank you, James! Yes, Matt is a legend!

[@tkelly830]

Great lesson man, glad I came across your channel. You have a new sub 🤘

[@adamliljedahldrums9882]

Great lesson! Matt always plays such great fills!

[@JeffBowders]

Thank you Adam! Yes, Matt is the definition of musical!

[@flamecolumn]

Thx for another awesome lesson. The variation with the floor tom was a bonus. One of my fave all time fills is at around 3:05 in Trampled Underfoot by Zeppelin. Bonham builds tension in the first half of the fill, then releases that tension with a massive roll across his snare and toms. It’s tight and well thought out.

[@JeffBowders]

Absolutely! I've always loved that fill for that very reason. Classic Bonham fire!

[@Curtis.720]

Another great video Jeff! I was wondering if you could take a look at Tommy Lee’s work on the ‘94 Crüe album; in particular the fills in Power To The Music. The 16th note triplet fills (Bonham style) have always been a bit sloppy and tough to get up to speed. Cheers!

[@JeffBowders]

Curtis! Easily one of my all-time favorite drumming albums. Tommy at his absolute best. Great fills all over that album but, yeah I should do a "quality control" lesson about this classic fill! Thanks for the great suggestion!

[@Curtis.720]

@@JeffBowders would be much appreciated Jeff!

[@Littleneddygtw]

awesome.

[@smellyou]

Snare sound is very close to the album I think it's that small wood wall roomy vibe good job!

[@JeffBowders]

And some creative EQ!
