That One Fill You Always Hear - Drum Lesson
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ค. 2019
- There was this drum fill that I had heard a million times, but it always happened so fast I could never figure out what it was. Turns out that it's an insanely simple drum fill and in the drum lesson I'm going to break it down for you!
Here is where I get my backing tracks from

When I was 19 years old, Mike chatted with me on one of his videos and even called me to talk about drums. That day he had just had a meeting with Neil Peart to help him teach on one of his videos. He told me “Parents to tell you to be a doctor first and a drummer second. Fuck that. If you want to be a drummer, be one first and a Doctor second.” I played in bands for another 6 years after that. I no longer play drums today, but I’m a few years away from completing my doctor of psychology degree. Great guy, amazing drummer, and possible fortune teller.
I'm an orthopaedic surgical trainee and I haven't touched a pair of sticks in 6 years
or had a full night's sleep*
Whaaaat? He schmoozed with Neil??? Omg. And rip Neil.
That number represents how many times you've been asked about your metronome app.
but what is his metronome app?
@@magni67 plot twist, there is no app. just his left foot.
Before the virus hit I was taking weekly lessons. My instructor was leading me up to drum fill. As soon as I put all the pieces together, I said that was a drum fill. I had guessed it correctly, as I had named the train beat. I know to you that sounds so elementary, but I’m taking lessons from a TBI, of a ruptured brain aneurysm and stroke with a spinal cord injury. I’m learning to read music at the same time. The drums are a part of my rehab, making small victories. One lesson at a time. I’m waiting to start my lessons again, when the shop opens up their doors again. In the mean time, I’m watching videos on line, making connections.
That’s awesome, drums are so much fun… I’ve also started February 12, 2020 my first drum lesson at the age of 58 and Blind… I had six lessons before lock down and have been learning titbits online… I so want to learn to play a song although I am not able to read music even though I have a grasp of it… Wish there was audio described sheet music for drums, it’s out there for piano… Wishing you all the best on your journey🤍🤍🤍🥰😘🇨🇦🦮
@Jack actually our music director at church has stepped up and took me under his wing. Last Sabbath he told me that with his connection’s he is working on getting a drum set as a donation to the church. So I can play. He also has music written for drums that he will provide. So on that sense no I haven’t thrown in the towel.
No matter how many times I watch this I still get goosebumps!! His phrasing when he solos is so effortless, intensional and musical. Love this dude and his playing style!! One of the dopest musician/drummer out there!!
Wow… I don’t even know how to respond to something like that 🍵🙏🍵🙏🥲
Hear hear. Absolute beast.
Great drum sound. Round and punchy without being too dead.
That's Gretch for ya. Woody balanced punch.
This is a prime example of how a simple fill can sound rather awesome with the right kind of finesse and sensibilities behind your playing. Anyone can do this fill after a few minutes, but how it is played and applied, is something that takes a lot of practise and understanding.
This is one of the best drums lessons, and you have one of the best attitudes towards drumming I have ever seen.
Easiest sub of my life. Thank you.
It’s the number (in miles) from the Earth to our moon.
BOOM!!!! Winner Winner. Send me an email (mike@mikeslessons.com) and I'll get you all set up for 1 full year of the All-Access Pass :)

You lucky man! (and fast)
Actually they changed the distance
They now say the mon is in our atmosphere
Mike Johnston I believe it sent. It’s an email from Oscar.
Maaan, congrats. That's absolutely awesome.
Videos like this inspire me to clean up my technique and actually practice for a change. Thank you sir! Amazing playing man.
This man can take something so simple and turn it into the sickest thing in the world. Insane.
IMO this guy is the best drum teacher on TH-cam. Always fun & practical content. End of!
Amazing fill, so simple, but sound so full when applied in the middle of something. Thanks for figuring it out and taking the time to share.
Ive never touched a drumkit before but I love this
Holy coW I've never seen your videos before, but I will definitely continue to. You are SUCH a great drumset player.
I’ve never heard anyone explain a lick this clearly. So well done!
The Enthusiasm Project awe man, you just made my day. So glad you enjoyed it!

THANK YOU for breaking this down... I have certainly heard this lick many times and it always seemed to happen to fast to figure it out. Thank you good sir!
i KNEW this was the fill when i saw the title! I heard you use it all the time since years ago, and one day decided i NEED to find out what it was. so i played the parts in slowmo to figure it out - basically exactly like you described it. hahaha. glad its now here for everyone! Thanks for sharing Mike!
Here's some heresy. I learned this lick from a jazz guy years ago. He didn't teach it as cleanly, but it worked. For the flam, he'd do a diddle (kinda loose) with his left hand then accent the right, instead of a L/R flam. Same hit to the ride with bass. No ghost note after. Kind of a shhDAH bom shsDAH bom shhDah bom then four notes.... It sounds the same and is easy to use when the band is swigin'. It really is the one fill you always hear. Grateful for this lesson!
I’ve been playing drums for 23 years and you are awesome thank you for everything you’ve been doing
How. On. Earth. Do you not have more subscribers?!?! 😩😭 You’re flipping amazing and SUCH a gifted communicator.
I've always wondered how that fill was played. Thanks again, Mike. Love your enthusiasm!
Mike, you're always a joy to watch. So much enthusiasm, you feel like a best friend with the way you teach!
Agreed. Very inspiring. GREAT teacher
I've binge watched his videos for an hour. Now i think my practice time is up.
Your videos are THE BEST. The original and the best
Personnaly you can upload every year as long as you’re happy doing it! So next Saturday or not you have my support ^^
Dude I absolutely love how buttery smooth you play cant get enough thanks Mike😎
What an awesome player you are Mike and teacher. Accessible in your approach without be condescending at all. Mind boggling skill set
"Now after you have done that about 238,900 times"
It's the number of miles between the earth and the moon. Yes!
My god, there are so many compliments I want to give you just from watching this one vid. Your explanations, your sound, your musicality, and the list goes on!!!! Great Work Mike, maybe someday I can participate in one your drum camps!!!
Damn Destin, you're about to make a grown man blush, LOL. Seriously though... thank you very very much :)

Yeah, classic 3 over 4. Love the mentioned jazz impact. Thanks Mike ❤️
I just cannot stop admiring what you can do with such simple ideas... All the best from Edinburgh!
Ayyy, also from Edinburgh here 💙
Awesome!... New sub!
That fill has drove me nuts! I did it once on accident, and have tried for days to figure exactly how to replicate it ...thank you for helping me!....
yep, I started humming When the Levee Breaks during that section @2:40.
Great Lesson!
LOVE that 1960's blue Gretsch drum kit. Sounds GREAT.
Your lighting is getting better and better. And great drumming as always!
Awe man, thank you so much. Working on it every day :)

Dear Mike, the moon’s orbit around the Earth is elliptical, so it’s distance away can range from around 225,000 miles all the way to over 250,000 miles. You probably already know, but 238,900 is the average of all those distances. :) just thought it was a cool fact you might enjoy. Thanks for being awesome and inspiring so many!
I don't teach music, but your attitude and love for the subject is inspiring. Thank you for the reminder. Love your work :)
Mike, you are so stinkin' smooth.............and very talented. You make it look so easy, then I sit down at the kit.......
that IS the fill I keep hearing and not being able to dissect. you hero, Mike!
Great lesson as always mike! Been a while since I've watched one of your videos, been subscribed for years. Look forward to the next one, keep 'em coming :)
Holy addicting drum sounds! I've always had such an eagerness to make/write/compose music, but never willing to [compromise] or limit a song's potential complete effectiveness because I learned how to play one or two instruments. So from the perspective of being able to go in the studio and lay down tracks of all the instruments/parts/riffs I want, it's incredibly useful for countless reasons. As well, it can make songwriting loads easier if different sections of a song are lead by a variety of instrument configurations.. for example; Verses- Keys with electric guitar riff, PreChorus- Bass guitar riff with electric guitar chords, Chorus- Riff on keys with syncopated guitar chords/riff and bass used to invert chord structures.
However, 20+ years of dividing my practice/experience of playing between the acoustic, electric, piano, bass, drums, etc made it nearly impossible for me to become exceptional at any of them. I often find myself wishing so intently I would've just focused on one.. but I can't desire one without the others. I would absolutely love to sit behind a kit and play with such a perfected technique, flawless dynamics & phrasing, etc, etc.. but man, I'd sure love to sit down with an acoustic do the same thing.. and play crazy lead parts on the electric, and insane bass lines.. and on and on.
Most importantly, I want the ability to tune and record every instrument with the insane perfection of that freakinng drum kit! Like, seriously.. wtf?! Lol
The number is the number of lessons you’ve given
Kicking ass! Definitely subscribed and will continue watching:) keep up the good work!
After sitting for an hour with this, it seems it might even be easier with that being a right-handed flam. That way you’re just doing Swiss triplets with a kick on the second partial. Left hand’s just shuffling ghost notes.
In love with your studio! Looks awesome.
Bro your drumming is on point!!!
I can see some great teaching skills here. Just incredible!
Well I'm subscribing. Excellent video, man, really well broken down and presented.
Thx! Now I don't need to learn anymore fills, this will do the job 🙏
No wonder peeps want a vid every saturday... your playing is SUPERB!
This is excellent! Thanks Mike!
Dude! That was awesome. Thank you for sharing. I loved it.
mike.... you are a hero!
You ROCK Mike! Thanks
4:20 amazing choke on the crash, never thought to do that - bury the stick. Thanks for showing that.
I love the lighting and overall sleek style of your videos! It feels like I'm at an Apple Store but for drums, and Mike is like the Steve Jobs unveiling the next mystery lick 😂
What do you use to record your drumsound? Sounds awesome and I can't See any close mics
Nice drum sound & love the you play it dood..
Thank you, that was a damn good lesson
I never knew this fill was this simple!! Thanks Mike!!!! 😁😁😁
So clean! Awesome explanation as always.
Great video thank you, this is an awesome fill. Turns out this fill I play, I just never knew what I was playing, lol. Thanks again
Yesss! Makes me wanna practice!! Mike is the man!!
Very inspirational! Thanks!
Love this fills. Very helpful. Thanks man.
Amazing improvisation! 🔥 You're a huge inspiration to me!
Great lesson!
Dude I love your style, both as a drummer and person
Just found my favourite TH-cam drum teacher
Just watched for the inevitable dope mini solo 🤙🏻
Great video… Could watch you play all day. I just need to quit my full time job and chain myself to my kit for maybe 50 years!😂
Mike. That improvisational piece you made is absolutely amazing. I had to comment. Wow. Flow, flow, flow.
Mikas Emil Søndergaard Eskesen My friend, thank you so very much! 🙏🍵🙏🍵
Mike Johnston what is that icon? Soup? 😂
Have been watching you on/off for years. You have really evolved as a player also. Was really inspired by this video 😊 thanks.
I love your touch! That's the type of flow I want. (If I am ever to put that drum set up again.. I'm a guitar player)
Awesome lick and video!
Great lesson, going to practice now
Dude your cymbals sound amazing!
Great Mike
How sick was that! really impresive, Mike, could you consider doing a lesson of the 4:39 cowbell saucy groove?
Nice fill! the drums are tuned swell!
I'm definitely going to use that!
This is great. A different sticking than the blushda but applied the same especially when doing them over 16ths. I’ve been mixing the 2 together.
Great Stuff Brother!! Thanks 🏁👊⚡🎵🤟
Good teaching skills..
Very interesting to watch.
God Bless Bro :)
Great video, man! God has blessed you with some mad drum skills, bro! 👍🏻
Thank you Mike!😊
That feeling when you should go to sleep and here it comes mike with some spicy sauce to practice...dayum!
Also that drum sounds so crispy!
Mike you make me laugh every lesson, love it! Your a great inspiration!
love it! thank you!!
I honestly just do swiss army triplets with a flam on the front. It's a bit of a flow-y motion that takes a second to get down but I think it's a lot easier when going in from a fill when you lead on your right hand primarily. I kinda just do the reverse circle when hitting the ride, moving out from the snare to hit them ride then floating up and back to the snare for the next right hand flam.
Thank you Mike.
Awesome video!
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!
You are the best teacher I had ever seen 😍
Thanks so much! Imagine if you actually got to see my real lessons on my site, lol.
