Welcome to this 8th note triplet fills drum lesson. Here we will develop your triplet drum fills. Drummers often start playing straight eighth and sixteenth notes in fills. Triplets can seem a bit mysterious.
But they are an essential subdivision to master and once you get comfortable with them you can play freely in swung music as well as using triplets in straight music to create an interesting effect.
This lesson will help you develop your confidence and ability with triplet fills and then show you how to use accents to make them sound really exciting.
