2:12 - STEP 1: How to play our “RLRF” pattern
4:02 - STEP 2: How to creatively orchestrate the pattern around the kit
7:15 - STEP 3: How to solve trouble-spots and play this smoothly
13:50 - STEP 4: Other variations… what happens when we shift the beat!
22:29 - How all of this sounds in a musical context…
What if you could simply & predictably mix your kick into fills to make them sound way more difficult than they are… and way more musical?
Maybe you’ve wanted to be able to do this, but it all seems too complex and not straightforward.
You’re wanting to make your fills more interesting, but you can’t do it cleanly. This leaves you feeling uncreative - like you’re not even a real drummer.
I get it and I’ve been there, but it’s time to solve this today!
You see, most beginner drummers think you have to play complex, difficult patterns in order to effectively mix the kick into your fills. But the truth is, all you need to get started is one pattern:
RLRF.
Today we’re breaking down how this works, how to use it, and how to practice it to massively expand your fill-creation abilities.
By the end of today you’ll be mixing your kick into your fills, which will have you feeling capable, empowered, and like a real rock drummer.
I believe that YOU can become the drummer everyone wants in their band. Anyone can learn the drums, and you’re far more capable of mastering this instrument than you think you are. Don’t sell yourself short!
