Single Stroke Roll Drum Fill Workout!

Had lots of requests for more single stroke workouts/warm-ups, so here you go! This is just the sort of warm-up we’d do at the beginning of a face-to-face session :)
It's a nice simple format - three bars of drum groove, followed by a one-bar drum fill around your snare and toms - in turn 1/4 notes, 1/8th notes, 1/8th note triplets, 16th notes, and 16th note triplets (sextuplets). And repeat!
Song is “Say So” by Doja Cat

Mike Barnes Drums Amazon Shop
I now have an Amazon store featuring all the gear, books etc you see here in these videos, and that I use myself on gigs/in the studio and recommend. It doesn’t cost any more to buy from this store than it does from regular Amazon, but you’d be supporting this channel by doing so, which would be very much appreciated!:

Hello Mike. It is quite a pleasure to listen and learn with your clear instructional process. You have a very effective teaching style and it is very apparent you have a passion for playing the drums and sharing your expertise and skill while making it easier to absorb the details from a students perspective. I have subscribed. And will check out your video library,

[@michellea8010]

I really appreciate your vibe and teaching style. Thanks!

Are your pattern lengths based on time or number of beats

[@rayboreham2648]

Why the switch to an e-kit, Mike? I have one but prefer acoustic any day. Please bring the acoustic back! Too many fake "drum kits" around these days. Thanks.

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Thanks for watching Ray. I haven’t switched, I play both. You’ll find plenty of acoustic kit videos on this channel too. Electric kit is at home for practice teaching while not disturbing my neighbours, 2 x acoustic kits at my studio. Cheers.

[@rayboreham2648]

@@MikeBarnesDrums Understood, Mike. I have an e-kit for the same reason, but only use it during "off-peak" hours to avoid neighbour complaints. Other than that, it's all acoustic all the way!!
