I like very much this practical videos, and I suggest to number the lessons from the first lesson, second lesson, and so on. Because there are many videos from Chris Taylor and I think that is better to watch them in order.

How to Play Drums: Drum Fill

What is a drum fill? Simply put, it is a short rhythmic idea played by the drummer to fill a space at the end of a vocal or instrumental phrase.

We are going to really focus on today with the raw. I am drumming in 4/4 time which basically means that there are 4 counts of a beat in a measure. Now, when I started off today, I introduced you to what a quarter note is and I will just play those. Again, we are going to be in 4/4 times. I am going to give four counts on the tempo that we are going to play at with the sticks and I will give you four quarter notes on the bass drum and then I am going to give you four quarter notes on the snare drum. And then, I am going to alternate those. So, here it what looks like and sounds like.
