THIS Stops 90% Of Drummers From Better Fills

Am I the only one seeing that he is sitting on a toilet. 😂

If you legitimately want to take your drumming to the next level, ask your band to write more interesting songs. This focal point of this video is stealing attention away from your band, performance, and song to stroke your own ego. There’s no discussion or mention of the importance of how a fill fits in to a song, and what value it adds to the composition as a whole. Spend ten minutes with a real producer and you’ll realize that switching feels and playing accents that don’t actually accent anything in the actual composition just makes you looks like a baby crying for attention. When writing any drum part with your band, the focus should be on how the part serves the song, not how good it makes you look or sound. You will be regarded as an amazing drummer if you are playing in an amazing band. So if you want to play more interesting drum fills, have your band write more interesting songs.

Bro I just figured out that I'm playing drums for my school concert on Thursday and I only have five days to make up multiple drum fills and this has helped a lot

This is the kind of tutorial on fills im looking for! Im very grateful to watch it for free, im broke so i only air drum for practice and try to apply the learnings on our church drums once a week

I'd say he's a drummer now. Held a tight pocket and nailed his fills while maintaining the beat . Transitions were seamless. Bravo!

I'm starting to play drums and I think this is a really fun way to find variation in my daily practice! thanks 🥁

@Lars ulrich

This is one way to think of it. I think the most productive way is to simply build vocabulary with your instrument. This creates a sort of rigid thinking where you calculate every fill you play or write them note for note and play them the same every time which just sucks so much personality out of it

Always starting my roll with L :/ that’s why I’m having a hard time on getting the right timing? or fills should I say. Not a left a left handed dude tho.

So in essence, how to make boring fills interesting: Play a different fill 😂😂

I loved my DBO account and lessons, but coming up on 2 years unemployed, not by choice, I had to make some serious financial cuts. Got to love living in the strongest economy of all times!

Cool bro !

Those 2 stacks on the left and right both sound so great. Course, Meinl cymbals in general, especially their dry stuff, sounds great pretty much all around. Anyone know what stacks these happen to be? Thanks in advance! Edit: Also, what electronic drumkit is that in the bathroom? I need a smaller kit like that!

I've been playing drums for like 15 years. Watching these videos, i realize I can't play drums

Do you play with I prevail??????

your brother is rich dude, letting a so expensive computer close to water in a very risky position

why is bro sitting in the crapper???

thanks gabe, i feel like your vides are really helpful, keep it up

This is all very nice, but what if the music you're playing to isn't sh*t ? 😮 Drumming is about listening; it's the entire song / track which is the important thing. Less is more. Get yourself a decent songwriter and then we'll see what your musicianship is really like. 😉

Amazing 😍🤩

Do u call out the Alphabets randomly and somehow try to resolve back to 1? I struggle to know where pulse is and coming back to 1..

Wow

Bro I am amazed how u play . I want to learn from you . U are now my big brother . Family.

Ridiculous production value in this video, on top of being a great lesson, and funny. Excellent content all around dude.

"Brother RJ" did not agree to this but good thing he's got a throne to sit on because he'll know impressive fills in short stinkface.

I haven't played drums since middle school (early 90s) I don't know if I can still play...

It definitely comes with great amount of pratice. If you don't use it you lose it.

love that soft moan at the end

I love this lesson, thanks so
And the loop you used at the beginning RLRL, how can I get it

Rad

Maybe it’s the guitarist in me who always preferred strict “alternate sticking” 😂 …

The key to a good fill is to make it fit the song. Otherwise, there is no point. Even if it is only one or two notes... if it fits the song, it's great. Trying to impress people is a sure way to ruin your fills.

Is it just me or was there a huuuuge gap between step 3 and 4?

Awesome instructional. I'm a musician that plays a variety of instruments including drums. I can keep a beat but that's about it. This video and your playing has inspired me to get behind the kit with a different attitude. I don't consider myself a drummer but with your help I may just be. Refreshing video to watch & the sound coming off the rolls is exotic! Thanks.

i lov drum

Lol if he’s never played before that’s mad impressive.

Way too much talking

Been playing for over three decades, this is the single best video on drum fills that I've ever seen, cheers!

Not even gonna mention that your brother was playin on the toilet?

I love you drummers and you lesson for a 13 year old I can work that amount for money

Ah, to be able to play a drum kit again. Too old to rock & roll, too young to die. 🥁👀

Man those Byzance Dual crashes sound so silky! 😍

My favorite drum fill a vulfpeck song with all rests until a single snare hit on beat four.

And now I can’t for the life of me remember which song it is

Anybody know what the movie with the "wow" is?

This was dope! Not gonna lie, that kinda blew my mind, lol. Thank you for breaking this down. That was cool.

my biggest advice (and you might've already said it in the video) is don't play in a linear line for every fill, switch that shit up! practice by yourself, and just fuck around on the kit, even if it sounds bad you are still learning. and most importantly, fuck anyone who judges you if you aren't a perfect player, just have fun.

What about the kick that you use
to fill in?

3 mins in and I’m really doubting this guy with the slicked back hair.
I hope he proves me wrong.

Please don't play other drum beat sounds on top of your drums as we can't hear whats actually being played.
