In this week's lesson Nick takes us through a fill concept that will push our internal clock out of our comfort zone!

Having all your fills lean on the quarter-note pulse is an easy trap to fall into, and this concept is designed to break out of that mould and start our fills on the 'E'. It's surprisingly difficult to keep these phrases from dragging, so be sure to practice with a click where you can to keep things sharp!
