Drum Fill Development Course
Drum fill development is one of the most fun areas of drumming to study and practice. There’s nothing quite like a well timed and executed drum fill. They can be simple or incredibly challenging depending on the drummer’s sense of time as well as vocabulary of rhythms. Drummers often struggle with keeping accurate time when they play fills. This applies to both beginners and experienced drummers. Some have a hard time being creative and get stuck with the same 3 or 4 fills they know how to play.
