Description
Throughout the history of recorded music, there have been countless drum beats & fills that are so integral to the song they’re in, that its hard to imagine the song without them! Some of these beats and fills are famous, and some are not, but all add a vital characteristic element to the song.
In Classic Beats & Fills, (volume I compilation) I take 5 “classic” drum beats & fills, break them down, analyze them, perform them, and teach you how to play them. These beats & fills are not necessarily the “best”, or most “complex”, or most “challenging”, (although some are), but they are classic, and help define a particular song or section of a song.
Classic Beats & Fills (volume 1) is a fun class that will help you to drum better. The following lessons are included in Classic Beats & Fills (volume 1), “introduction to classic beats & fills” “We’re An American Band” (opening drum riff) artist Grand Funk Railroad, “Billion Dollar Babies” (opening drum riff and main groove) artist Alice Cooper, “When The Levee Breaks” (opening drum beat and main groove) artist Led Zeppelin, “Honky Tonk Woman” (opening drum riff and main groove) artist The Rolling Stones, and “Rock & Roll” (ending drum fill) artist Led Zeppelin.
