KD Says Beginner Fill Ideas Part 2

Submitted On: Tuesday, May 17, 2011 - 4:30 AM

Hi Billy thank you so much for your lessons on the Fill ideas part 1 on 16 notes, you have shown me the correct way of playing these 16 note fills which i have taught myself played incorrectly before watching your lessons. Regarding to the Fill ideas part 2 where you have to omit the 1st note of every beat e.g. you play LRL (e & a), is there a way you use to help you time yourself to play your left hand on 'e' instead of on '1', '2', '3','4'? Thanks Billy

Hey Billy,
I like how you stick the fills. Initially I learned to do alternate sticking, but to leave out whatever hand needed to rest. Great for keeping the timing correct, IMO.

But now, I had to reprogram myself (with urging of my drum instructor) to use strictly alternating hands for all the rhythms. It is/was a great exercise.

I really like that you are having so much fun presenting these lessons!

cheers, eddie
