Rock Flam Fills 🥁

This study starts with a classic 16th-note flam phrase, then builds through three increasingly complex variations to add some serious punch to your rock fills.
Start simple. Build the complexity. Make it rock.

Which variation are you stealing—1, 2, or 3?

Developing a 6/8 Groove 🥁

This study keeps the hi-hat and kick patterns consistent while gradually introducing ghost notes to add depth, texture, and movement to the 6/8 feel.

Sometimes less really is more. Which variation has the best pocket?

Solo Starter 🥁

This study uses the first two beats to establish a motif, then the last two beats to explore different variations—creating a solo that feels connected rather than a bunch of random fills.

Solo Starter 🥁

Two beats to set it up. Two beats to switch it up.

This study uses the first two beats to establish a motif, then the last two beats to explore different variations—creating a solo that feels connected rather than a bunch of random fills.

The trick? Keep coming back to the original idea while finding new ways to develop it.

Establish the motif. Change the ending. Tell a story.

Monster Fills 🥁

This study combines broken 16th and 32nd-note figures to create fast, aggressive phrases you can unleash around the kit.

The key? Don’t let the speed get messy. Stay relaxed, lock into the subdivision, and anticipate where your hands are going next.

2-Bar Linear Grooves 🥁

The first bar stays locked in, while bar two cycles through different broken 16th-note linear variations—giving each phrase its own twist without losing the original groove.

Remember: with linear drumming, no two limbs hit at the same time. Every note gets its own space.

Jazz Comping 🥁

The 5-Stroke Roll 🥁

What you see vs. what you play.

This study breaks down how the 5-stroke roll is written and interpreted, exploring both the traditional version and its triplet-based variation.

Understanding the notation is one thing—getting those doubles smooth, controlled, and musical is where the real work begins.

Rhythm Reading 🥁

This study combines a variety of broken 16th and 32nd-note figures, challenging your timing, subdivision awareness, and ability to switch smoothly between rhythmic subdivisions.

Then take it to the kit and see how many grooves, fills, and phrases you can create from the rhythms.
