Simple Power Fills - Charlie Watts Style
By Nate Brown
Using only quarter notes, eighth notes or a combination of the two, Watts creates explosive power-fills that sound a lot more difficult to play than they actually are. This technique is easily accessible for beginner drummers and is a technique to be considered for experienced drummers, as well.
If you're a beginner-intermediate level drummer, or if you're a teacher with beginner-intermediate level students, Gimme Shelter is a perfect song. It also works great as a fun sight-reading piece for more experienced drummers. Jam along with this Rolling Stones classic.
