This Is The Essential Blues Fills Lesson
Welcome to the essential blues fills drum lesson. Here we will learn how to play the core blues drum fills.
We recently learnt some core blues drum beats which were largely based on the swung shuffle rhythm (although not all of them were). But if you’ve got some beats learnt you need drum fills to go with them. And that’s what we’re exploring in this lesson.
These drum fills are also swung so we break down how to move around the kit in the triplet subdivision. We also delve into how we can create excitement with any blues fill by using dynamics and other techniques.
After this lesson you will have a good vocabulary of useful blues drum fills, as well as the tools to make up hundreds of your own fills.
