This is a fill idea that I came up with years ago. It involves groups of 7 (4 with your hands & 3 with your feet) phrased around the kit....enjoy!! Hello Billy Ashbaugh here with DrummerConnection.com. Today I want to share with you a fill. It's a fill I sort of created myself. I'm sure it's been done before but I sort of taught myself many, many years ago. Basically what it does is it squeezes 7 notes for every quarter note. I break it up 4 with the hands and 3 with the feet. We'll look at the hands first. For me, the sticking is just RLRL. What I like to do when I practice this is I'll bring the left hand up to either mounted tom and I like to move the right hand from the snare over to the floor tom and back just doing those little 4 note clusters. OK, we've got the hands covered, now let's look at the feet. For those last 3 notes I choose to go RRL with my feet. I'll be honest I was inspired years ago by Gregg Bissonette.

Basically, it starts with a flam one beat one with the right hand on the floor tom and the left hand on the snare. Now this fill is phrased in 16th notes, so the flam is the downbeat and you're going to play the “1 e &” figure, meaning the first three 16th notes. Now here again I want you to experiment with the sticking, it's up to you. You can either go Flam Left Right. Or you can go Flam Right Left. OK, I'm gonna let you here this thing in a fill setting. OK, here's another version for you. Keep the hands just like you have them. Remember we played the first three 16th notes, the “1 e &”. We left the “a” silent. A version you could come up with... more...
