Here is an example of applying one style of music to another. In this lesson I take a jazz pattern which is played on the toms and tweak it to fit a more aggressive style of music.....METAL! In doing so you start to see how one genre of music influnces another. Other such examples are Classical to Jazz, and Latin to Rock.

In an earlier lesson we saw Keith demonstrate practicing the double stroke roll by accent the 2nd note of each double stroke. In this section I use that same principal to play it as a drum fill between my hands and feet. Without the addition of accents 16th note fills can tend to get pretty boring so I hope this adds some variety to your playing.

The Double Beat Exercise

Introductory exercise for drummers to work on thier double strokes which is essential for producing a clean roll. There are many different variations of this exercise but just about every drumline you come across has played this more times than they've cared to. It's sounds identical to the infamous drum fill to "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins.

Chuggada Chuggada is a great warmup to play as a tom pattern. Here I show a few different ways of doing this, starting slow and then building up speed along the way. There are also different foot pattens to incorporate as well which will be covered in future lessons.

This exercise alternates between single and double strokes on the feet. This feels similar to the Marcus Williams pattern which is a staple of John Blackwell's warm up routine.
