This lesson showcases a bunch of un-necessary drumming beats and techniques. While they’re fun to watch, they’re mostly useless when it comes to real music.
But still, as you continue to study and play drums, you’ll know there’s more to it than just keeping time or playing what you should. Sometimes you want to let loose and just play.
These beats will challenge you – and you’ll have a ton of fun. Good luck!

Use them for practicing these or any other drum fills you’d like. More »

This will not only reflect on your facility with those limbs but also on your drumming as a whole. More »
