One thing I've really wanted to work on in my playing is to add more linear beats and fills to my arsenal. I hear people playing this stuff all the time and it sounds amazing but I can't seem to pull it off myself. I try to practice it and not psyche myself out but I still seem to have a hard time picking it up. Here is one linear beat and fill that I've been working on...tell me what you think and help give me some more ideas on how to overcome my learning curve.

sounds good..
Other than the left hand lag that you pointed out it sounds good. As far as the beat goes.. You could try mix in some light snare strokes in place of the extra sticks on the HH's or put some kicks in on the uh's of 1 and 3. However, i think what your doing sounds good.. You can experiment with add and subtracting certain strokes on different notes in time. Ex. snare on the "and" and "uh" of 2 and then snare on the 4, "e" and the "uh" of four.. Does this make sinse.. I think i just went crosseyed!

I may have confused you and myself more than i have helped. Its just easier to play than explain!
