Description
Many drummers struggle with fills, especially when it comes to creating their own. We get asked frequently, ‘How do I come up with fills?’ or ‘How do I increase my creativity?’.Although there are a lot of answers to this question, and theres no single, concrete way, and in this course were going to show you one thing that has worked really well for us. This tool is called fill elements, meaning were going to isolate a really small phrase, apply it to a fill, and then show you how it could be used while improvising.
In this course, you will learn:
-
What a fill element is.

How to play a fill element called ‘falling down the stairs’.
