Welcome to the beginner drum fills lesson. Here we will learn how to play beginner drum fills.

These are easy drum fills that sound really good, and actually sound harder than they are.

You can get the sheet music for free below but we’re also going to learn the beginner drum fills using sounds. After all ‘if you can say it, you can play it’. So the proper notation is written on the sheet as well as the phrase that we’re learning so you can use the phrase to start recognising proper drum notation too.

Much of the drummer’s job is to keep a steady drum beat going but we also need to understand how to use drum fills as well. These often come during transition to help the music move from one section to another. For example you might use a drum fill as a build up to take the music from the verse up to the chorus.
