Is This The Coolest Drum Fill Ever?
Could this be the coolest drum fill ever? Is it even possible to have a coolest drum fill ever? Surely it’s subjective!
Well I agree but this is a really cool drum fill in my opinion. It could even be considered a drum beat instead of a drum fill but I would always use this as a drum fill rather than a repeating pattern to form a groove.
This type of fill is heavily influenced by Steve Gadd. He used this phrasing in many songs such as Chuck E’s In Love by Rickie Lee Jones and Oh Marion by Paul Simon. But I also love the way he used it at the end of the Central Park live version of 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover on the 1981 Simon and Garfunkel gig.
Once you get this drum fill down you can get creative and use it in lots of different ways.
