One Drum Fill Tip That You Haven't Seen Yet (Get Out Of Your Creative Rut!)

Rob, I am a 57 year drummer In West Virginia. I am a very simple time keeper and I think that all your lesson are what I call practical drumming. I really enjoy them. I have been working on your 3 rudiment excercises on my pad and what a difference it has made on the kit. Thanks so much

for your very practical lesson. God bless my friend.

When are you going to do another drum solo album beatdown?

Hi Rob, just a quick question. Did you build your studio at home? I want to buy a kit but I am also afraid of annoying my neighbours. How can I balance this because I don't like electronic drums, so this is not an option? Thanks for your classes.

I wish i could practice alot more but unfortunately I have a full time job with the state of texas but any little chance I get i pull up your vids and begin a practice session..Thank you so much for inspiring me everyday and bieng a great teacher!🤗👍❤🇨🇱

Just that you care about me and it sounds good and interesting I love you🎶📯😘

...I was thinking about your advice this morning when Jimi Hendrix "Fire" came on the truck stereo & emphasized your point perfectly!

I've been trying to master the Flippity Flop rudiment for years. Any tips?

Love it ............Back to Basics !! Rudiments are highly overlooked , its like saying you don't need to know the Alphabet. LOL

That snare drum sounds really good

Nice video

Damn that snare sounds pretty sweet man.

Nice work dude!

Hitting your greatest hits Sir! I work in Bio-Containment it awt to be real interesting in the coming days! I miss your work Sir!

30 years ? How old r u dude ?

Rob, what can I say, you are the best drum teacher out there. Thank you for the new content, and the inspiration!

THX-Rob ! Guter Tip... :)

That snare is tuned so nicely which I believe would help.

Personally, I’m super bored with fills on the fourth measure. It’s not inventive or interesting to me anymore

Thanks for more Gig-Ready ideas, my man!!

That's one helluva snare drum...

Dat snare though... Smokin!

And then you end up playing same fill on the snare. :D

Great advice, thanks for sharing your expertise.

Beautiful!! I never thought to focus gills on the snare. I’m definitely sharing this one!!

Young students almost always just play variations on a tom tom roll, because they're thinking about what to hit, not what rhythms they're playing. I have them work on fills using only the snare. Once they have some variety of snare fills going on, I suggest they try moving some notes to the toms or cymbals.

I love you man, your ideas, you never, ever show off, you just play ... musically. And inspired all of us in the process. That's how to teach and inspire.

I love you Rob! And that kit is super beautiful to listen to and look at! Stay healthy my brother!

Flams, ratamacues and flippity flops lol

I always find those sticks amusing....Well used 🙂

Smooth 😎👊🏽

You have changed my drumming for the better just in one month! Ive been playing for 15 + years. BA in Music. Drum teacher for 5 years. I wish i followed you years ago cause there is something about your approach and knowledge that is so obtainable in each of your lessons. So far my favorite video of yours is the 6 shuffle grooves that you should know! Keep doing what you're doing Rob!

Thanks for the refresher. I'm stuck in that rute. Funny how easy it is to forget the snare and how great it is

the beatdown - whack whack whack!

That sly look when you knew you dropping heat

The first video of yours I saw was, "Why your snare sounds like craaap." The answer was...."because it's a crappy snare. " Hahaha

That’s why it’s good to have a good snare.
You don’t need to spend thousands on expensive toms and a bass drum.
A good snare and good quality cymbals, are the key to a good kit, without costing a fortune.

Mr. Rob Brown, thank you for being so generous with your information, your willingness to share and give back. Many blessings for you!

I got stuck with playing only 6 stroke roll fills for about 2 years and I got soo bored.

I understand your approach to drums and teaching them.

Great idea!
I' m off & running on just
the snare drum for now!

Awesome tip! And as you said, I tend to do fills on my toms, Thanks Man!👍🏻🤘🏻🥁

Whapah!!

Oh my my, you have just opened the eyes of a blind man.

I've been drumming for years and I have the bad habit of not knowing when to come out of a fill. I find it hard to lead the changes when jamming with other musicians. I'm not sure how to keep coming out perfectly on the one. Some of the fills in iron maiden trooper are hard to time to get out of and into the beat correctly without stutters.

Very helpful tip. Yeah, I can see how it works. Musical 16ths to start with. Thanks alot Rob Brown.

I thought my comp froze for sec.. haha. Awesome practice idea
Rob.. thanks!

Snare drum sounds great. Chops sound great too.

Hey Rob, I doubt you’ll ever see this comment, but your videos have inspired me to keep learning to play better. it’s hard to believe you’re 100% self taught! Thank you for your unique and down to earth approach to drumming you’re an awesome teacher. God bless!

HEY Y'ALL! Since you're gonna be locked up in the house with all that extra toilet paper this weekend...might as well jump on the kit and practice 🤓You've probably seen a lot of tips on drum fill ideas, but I'd bet all the loose change in my sofa that you haven't seen THIS one 😉Cheggit out!
