Creating Basic Drum Fills

Alex Ribchester

In this lesson we are looking at ways to create our own drum fills by combining the 3 patterns listed below. Each pattern is a beat divided into 16th notes. I have listed a few ideas that are used in the video, but this is your chance to get creative! Randomly combine these patterns over the 4 beats and experiment with different voices. Have fun!
