Playing mixed subdivisions as fills – Kit Study 1

The next step is to play these new rhythms as fills. We need to do two things:

• play a bar of groove; and then
• play the rhythms around the kit.

The next exercise does exactly that. We have taken the bars from Exercise 1 and in front of each bar we have put a simple groove. The rhythms have then been placed, not just on the snare drum, but around the kit as we did in Lesson 3; utilising the snare drum, hi-tom, mid-tom and lo-tom in the fill.

Have a good look at the exercise.
