By Nate Brown

Download Lesson (PDF)

This lesson strays from the common application of drum fills where toms and snare strokes are at the heart of the fill. By placing an emphasis on the hi-hat, a more subtle (but often effective) drum fill can emerge.

The six exercises below give some samples to help you get started with this technique. After learning these, try out your own applications!
