in this video i'm going to show you how to do that drum fill and how to incorporate
a couple different stickings with that same pattern to put it in your drumming
let's first start off with the two first groupings of five so what are they exactly basically
they are just five so you're going to go on the snare between the snare and your feet
so three in the hands two on the feet
that's just practice to help you feel comfortable playing those groupings of fives
because we're going to move the right hand and put it to the first and second
rack tom so the pattern is going to be like this at a very slow tempo
one thing you want to note here is we're not going to place an accent on the left hand on
the snare we're just going to do a grace note or a ghost note in between the two tom hits so
let's speed that up a little bit
all right now that's the first half of the drum fill the other half is two groups of three
because we're playing this pattern in four four in a subdivision note group of sixteenth notes
we have six notes left to fill out our first bar so how we're gonna do that is with two groups of
three and the second half of the pattern is just that all it is is right left left right left left
and that's between the floor and the snare drum so it's going to look and sound something like this
faster what i like to do to finish off this drum fill is to hit the crash
and kick the kick drum at the same time on beat one of the following measure
so it brings your rate back in to a nice feel it's gonna look and sound something like this
so instead of playing it on the tom surface we can move it over to the
surface of a ride to get something that'll sound something like this
sped up
here's another way you can play the groups of five and three just do it alternating between
your snare and your kick it's kind of like a mike portnoy cross rhythm or linear drum fill
so we're gonna go right left right kick kick right left right kick kick right left
left right left left crash and kick at the same time so slow
again but a little faster
if you want to actually play the same sticking just play it on the snare
and then do the tom fill you actually get a pretty long sounding interesting tom fill
without even changing the sticking you're just changing the surface in which you're playing on
remember not to feel constrained to play these groups of five in that specific hand pattern or
foot pattern just take the five and try and disperse it between all your limbs
and different surfaces and see what kind of pattern you can come up with yourself
just remember five five three three and then you have your bar of 4 4 at a 16th note no rate
if you like this video give it a thumbs up so other people can learn this too i will see you
in the next video thanks so much for watching my name's cam fleury and have yourself a great day
