If your fills are boring, repetitive, and uninteresting, and creating rhythms & syncopation within them is tough, then today’s lesson is for you.

Hey I’ve been there! When I was a beginner in high school, I was always afraid of crashing and burning and train-wrecking the band if I tried to play anything interesting…

…Until I found a really fun “cheat” that allows you to really hack the process of creating much more impressive, musical fills!

Today I’m teaching you “The Skeleton Rhythm Cheat”, a very simple and highly achievable fill-creation method that will work for you even if you’re a total beginner. YOU CAN DO THIS.
