For Part 2, we’re going to add two new rhythmic figures to explore around the kit as fills. We’re still going to get use to these rhythms by practicing them on the snare drum only at first. Once comfortable, we’ll begin to move them around the kit. Remember to be creative and enjoy the journey!

Today's lesson will allow everyone to create there own fills from this sticking formula. This is a continuation from Triplet Warm-Up #1 Part 2, so if you're not sure what's going on please check out that lesson first. https://drummerconnection.com/drumlessons/4386-triplet-warm-exercise-part-2 Once the concept is comfortable, it's time for you to customize your own fill ideas by combining 1,2,3 or 4 beat accent combinations between your right and left hand. Remember, the sky's the limit here so have fun and be creative!

Billy Ashbaugh: Single Lead Triplet Accent Workout #1

Today's lesson is very similar to Applying Triplets to Fills Part 1. We're still going to practice playing the basic accent patterns (from the Triplet Rhythms PDF download) as rim shots on the snare drum while keeping the steady flow of 8th note Triplets going in between. For today's workout, now all of the accents must be played with your right hand. This concept will force you to use various mixed sticking patterns to achieve this steady flow. I'll give you some examples of patterns that work for me. Hopefully you'll be able to use your creativity and experiment with some sticking patterns of your own. This is a great way to work on developing your own voice or personality for the kit. Remember, you have to keep the steady flow going in between all of the right hand accents. This one can be a little challenging. Just start off very slow and gradually build up speed.

Billy Ashbaugh: 5 over 6 Fill Idea Part 1

This lesson is going to explore a fill idea that phrases groups of 5 over a steady flow of 16th note triplets. Because this concept can be a little tricky, in part 1 we're going to concentrate on getting the sticking and phrasing down on the snare drum while bringing in the feet underneath as a great warm up exercise. We'll begin to move this idea around the kit in Part 2.

Billy Ashbaugh: Fill Idea #1

In this lesson, I’m going to share a fill idea that I’ve been asked about before by my students. It’s a one beat sticking pattern that I picked up years ago. The sticking is like a 6 Stroke Roll but it’s phrased as 16th Note Triplets. This fill fits nicely in a lot of different musical settings. Enjoy!

Today’s lesson will take a look at phrasing Groups of 7 as 16th notes over 1 bar. This is very similar to 1 Bar Groups of 3 & 5, all we’re doing is adding two extra notes to the phrase. Enjoy!
