Drum fills. The one brief moment in time where the drummer can improvise and fully express themselves to best serve the song. Today I'm here to give you the perfect start to learning drum fills and getting fluent with the different parts of the drum kit. We'll cover the most popular fills used in rock music to act as the building blocks for future, advanced patterns you start to create.
Let's get started...

I used to play drums in high school, never took lessons, just played by feel. Listening and repeating what I heard. Was given a drumset and learning to play again. This was a very simple and effective way to teach this. Thanks for the explanation.
Junior in high school, got my set 2 years ago been learning on my own ever since. It's great to have help online
Same mate doing the same for 4 years
I am going through this phase
@@mikehall2041 .zzzzz
Same here rn in high school
The sound of that Yamaha kit is AWESOME, specially kick and snare
Not to mention the Evans drum heads ;) which are my fav
That's a 10/10 sounding bass drum. Wow.
i was going to say the same thing!
I know this is real old, but what does that mean? 10/10?
If you don’t mind and thank you
TheWallman456 10 out of 10! Like a ranking
Daniel Daley 🤣
Duh! I’m obviously trying too hard to think 🤔😆 I thought it was a measure of... something?... idk🤷♂️I just started and there’s so much!

- Wayne Gretzky
What you don't play can be played by anyone.
Haha nice
@@DariusKhan not everyone understands what exactly should be included and what should be excluded. But I understand you might be making a joke
Before we play fills, we have to say the fill oath:
“I will never play fill just because I want to.”
Lol...Lars from Metallica did not take that oath!
@@synerfect did any drummer 😅
Ha ha
😂😂😂 Oh my gosh! That was s good one indeed! 👍👍
Hahahahah im gonna hit whatever i want
I like how he doesn't waste time talking. He just tells you what to do and shows you an example. Period.
This is good stuff . Perfect for a beginner and a good review for an intermediate player. Thanks for bringing this to us . And thanks for breaking it down and explaining everything. Sheet music really helps too!!
Well said🕊️🎵
there is much more than meets the surface. After that, hold on for dear life until you get control of yourself.
That whole kit including with the cymbals sounds STUNNING!!!
When I make hip hop beats I like 1/4 beat fills at the end of the 4th and 12th bars, half at the 8th and full at the 16th. It gives the beat more movement.
Hey that's what I naturally do as well (when I play any type of drums). It just seems so groovy & my brain always wants me to do that haha
Thank you for your experienced comment! I'm excited to use this.
What are 1/4 beat fills
@@natec263 it goes like dum dum dum dum
as a dancer that is what i naturally would do if i was making up a drum beat with fills in it for dance purposes :) ya nailed it
This was so fun! Getting back under a kit for the first time in 30 years and doing these over and over, and variations of, is perfect to not only get moving with the click again but to feel progress and to be able to put 4 bars together. Thanks for keeping it simple for us "beginners". Subscribed!
Awesome! Need more lesson on Rock drum fills like this one ... thnx for the tips... 👍
I've been playing for a few years on and off and this past year I have been putting time In and taking it seriously along with my work out routine. I love lessons like this , back to the basics and I love the bonam triplet 4 bar fill , u can use it with any genre and it's sounds awesome. Even the other couple of simple 16 th note and the 8th note crusendo one. And " U won't get fired for not overplaying or counting 4 quarter note rests " Awesome teaching Dave!!!! Back to the Basics sometimes I get more results practicing basic , hands and feet and subdivisions. singles doubles , and basic single double para didles👍❤️
I’ve been playing drums for about 6 years. Picked it up at 46. I’ve always been a drummer in my mind if that makes sense. I am in total awe by anyone w chops. Wish I picked it up at 15 or 16. Love the lessons.
Ive been drumming in my mind (and feet cos i tap dance) all my life too and just now properly starting at 43 (even tho ive taught myself over the years). 6 years is heaps you're well into it by now! Drumming in your mind is very important for figuring out syncopation and hand leg movements dont you think? - when I finally went to drum I did indeed know what I thought I would know from mind drumming :) haha.Happy to be actually drumming now and next I need a kit! So that's my story, happy drumming!
Thank you SO much for this video! I have avoided playing with other musicians just because I have been incredibly bad at doing fills. I just never know how to end one and return to the main beat. I am going to study your video a lot!
Right on! Taking drum lessons and absolutely absorbed this fill session. Thanks 🙏🏻
9:15...so true.. alot of drummers overplay,without realizing they're repeating themselves...sometimes you just need to groove with a good bassline,or guitar playing and wait for your turn to shine. This guy is on point!!!
This one was helpful please make a video on single pedal technique and easier way to practice video and also how to choose which foot pedal is best for you
This is really awesome and super helpful!! I just started drumming a few weeks ago and it’s so fun to be able to try some of these!
Thank you for this video. I don't play drums, but I do program them and this simple video answered a big question for a non-drummer. I plan to get a kit at some point, so this will definitely give me a good boost when the time comes.
Every time you play that kit, it gives me chills 👌
Thank you for the clear explanation! Always good to get back to basics every once in awhile.
Thank you so much Dave for a great drum lesson! Learned a lot from this video!
Awesome lesson Dave! Thanks so much... one more reason I love Drumeo and am glad I'm a member of Drum EDGE! Always the most relevant and useful information.
Dave, you're an awesome teacher - thank you!
Thank you ... helpful for those of us starting out ~
and I like your teaching style... VERY clear and easy to follow!
You are very thorough and to the point. Wish yoh were close to where I live I would so take lessons. Keep it up brother. You're awesome!
I always followed rhythms intuitively, just started actually learning to play today, this lesson is incredibly simple and useful!! Thank you!!
I'm beginning to play just for fun. This is _exactly_ what I needed. And the first fill, silence, glad you added that, because it's easy to overlook.
have a great fun!
Love this lesson. Very simple concepts to try them out. Thanks Dave
This channel should be ranked very well. They got all it takes.
New drummer here! I have been watching this and trying to play these fills. Slowly getting the gist of them,,, hard work but sooooooo enjoyable! Thank you for posting this, love this video ✊🏻 much ❤️
By far….. the best fill video I have found on TH-cam. So helpful
Great lesson and I absolutely agree sometimes the best note is the one not played
Cool Just started playing in my first band and these fills are gold!
Really keen to get back into drumming again. Messed around a few years ago but sold my kit when I moved. Most def getting another one, gonna eat these vids up, thanks a bunch for the lessons and your time.
I am new and have a Steinberg Cubase. As a guitarist with no drums knowledge this content saved me to get an idea with creating drum patterns thank yov🙋🎶💯🙏🙆
The 16th notes on the snare are cool, but I always like to drop the third one
Just a little pause that, for me, sounds great
Great job! Thank You, for sharing your knowledge and skill with others.
Excellent tutorial, some great fills and very well explained. Thank you.
This is great. I do not find the concept that difficult but your final point about integrating the fill with proper time , is exactly what I struggle with after 6 months of playing. And of course finding proper fills without studying 1000 fills. Great lesson. Organized well.I will study this video as part of my practice routine.
Try slowing down, building muscle memory, and then slowly learn to play it at faster speeds
Great lesson! Can I know those rack tom mics please?
Awesome Dave, keep it up!!!
Great video. Getting into music production and this is very helpful for learning how to create some great drum fills.
Exactly what I was missing in my beats, thank you so much
These videos are very useful I played a bit in high school but hadn’t touched a drum set for 15 years until I got an electronic kit. I have always really played by sound and feel never took many lessons. The 16th notes all around the kit that I have been playing for every fill had been getting old lol
You got this my friend! I really enjoy playing the drums I just gotta practice more
Thank you drumeo never too late to learn the basics!
I just started drumming and your videos help me a lot thank you
That was excellent Dave.
Thank you!
Such a great video! Enjoyed very much, thanks.
Amazing! You say what you are going to teach, then you teach it. That’s rare in videos. Kudos
Hey teach, This is great stuff, ty
Youre appreciated
That kit sounds so good.
I have played guitar since middle school, something about the guitar just looked cool...but after a few years (as well as a few years studying classical guitar, because of Randy Rhodes) I just heard the drums more than anything else (probably because I was listening to Metallica ...and Justice for all album lol) and I loved the way a fill would make me feel ... those fills from Rush that Neal would play moved me more than anything else in a song. I wanted a drum set so bad, so I could learn what it was that was moving me, but at that time was on my own and lived in a small apartment. Next door to me at that complex lived an old hippie type bass player, he loved funk and he said that the bass guitar was what I really wanted to play to get that “THUMP” in my blood and that was what was moving me not the drummer. So I bought a bass, because guitar timing in rock was so closely the same as the timing as the bass, I thought I would learn some funk...my first song on bass that I ever feel in love with was the Sanford and Son theme song. Learned it, loved it but still had that desire to play drums. A good high school friend of mine, who was also a bass player loved Primus so I learned a lot of their songs as well as R.H.C.P. and their timings and style. But again was NEVER satisfied! I went to the piano (keyboard) and learned some of the basic chords, formations, songs and styles of the most popular classical pieces and the popular piano and Key players of today...from Queen, E,L&P, Floyd, to the WIZARD from Dream Theater... but couldn’t scratch that itch... I would just hear the drums... Emerson Lake and Palmers “Lucky Man” oh my! Instead of listening to the keys in Dream Theaters songs I found myself lost because the fills would make me want to stop what I was doing to hear the drums more clearly!
25 years later and my wife bought me an electric kit... HOURS AND HOURS of PURE SCRATCHING pleasure... I was like a dog who had fleas, or a gambling addict who had a roll of scratch-off lottery tickets... that ITCH was being scratched and all I wanted to do was recreate some of those moments when I heard System of a Down’s drummer, or some of those great jazz fills (only using 1 tom snare kick and a couple cymbals) or get that (I guess it could be called a high maybe?) to get that BUZZ like the first time I heard Iron Butterfly’s In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida but quickly realized the way I thought they maybe doing it was with a TON OF DRUMS (too many 80’s videos I guess?)
So now I’m here, I want to UNDERSTAND what it is that makes my heart weak when I hear those perfectly placed fills.
It’s so good to learn. Thank you.
I’m not a drummer but now I understand what fills are, thank you
If you ain't a drummer I got no clue about what you gonna do with that information.
@@Mysterix619 Well I’ve been playing drums for just over a year now and this video actually did help me with fills.
@@JacKT_3205 lmao. This is kinda weird. I replied on a 1 year old comment and the guy replied back in minutes.
@@Mysterix619 is this better timing for you mate? I saw the notification and clicked didn’t really look what it was
@@JacKT_3205 oh god. This is fun. Haha
probably one of the best fill tutorials I have ever seen!
This is a really dope channel. Thank you.
This is sweet! I play guitar, piano, cello, and some bass guitar, but I really want to round things out with drums. Right now I don’t even have a kit, so I’m literally playing with some pens, but I’m trying to internalize all of this, so I can get a head start when I do get a kit!
Man great video, I'm a beginner and this one was really helpful!!!! Thanks
Those are all great tips!
For further experimentation, there are those double, n even now, triple bass pedals to really kick it up a notch!
A triple bass pedal maybe abit much, but none the less, the beat goes on...
Great video....very useful. Thank you for posting!
loved your description. Subscribed
Thank You .You Rock as a teacher.You have a nice way of explaining what your saying.I really like that.
You’re an amazing teacher I got so much out of this
This guys a beauty. Wicked kit too
Thank for this excellent video! I'm looking to create a 50's-style rock 'n' roll song based around an exciting drum line, and you've got some great ideas for me to look at here! Silence for a bar is great, too!
I like Dave’s temperament and the way he describes things.
Love your teaching style, Bravo thanks
This channel is amazing. I learn so much from this! :D
Very good lesson, I can recomment it to every beginner and drum teachers as well
Woa this amazing
Thanks I got it!
This helped a lot! Legend!
Awesome video!!!! Great job!!
LOVE THIS VIDEO! Thank you, you just made me feel like a drummer finally :)
Awesome lesson.You nailed it bro!
I'm new to fills. Great explanations. Thanks !
I had a great learning experience. May God Bless you brother..
Thanks Dave for the great explanations, as always!
Thank you for this well-organized video. Am learning to play drums by watching videos, so have seen many videos in the past year. This lesson was one of the most practical and best done I have seen. May I suggest a similar style lesson on little tricks that show drummers use, like emphasizing a joke by the MC, playing something to bring a performer onto the stage, or getting the audience attention with a drum roll?
YES! That's what i was thinking about yesterday.. the little play along bits and emphasis bits... the background drumming
Fantastic. Thank you so much and greetings from Germany 😀
These are awesome! Going to try them out now. Thanks!
Tainui! I'd love for you to check out my latest lesson videos and let me know what you think 🤙🥁 th-cam.com/video/y_408BfMNiw/w-d-xo.html
the flam one is so simple... but so good
Another great lesson, thank you.
Good job Dave. Thank you and I thanking Jesus For you and Drumeo create team production and great lessons.
This drum kit sounds sooooo good
I have a drum teacher in my school who can't read drum notes and the music sheets. This video has inspired me! Thanks! Great drum kit by the way
Why is he a teacher then lmao
Courtney! I'd love for you to check out my latest lesson videos and let me know what you think 🤙🥁 th-cam.com/video/y_408BfMNiw/w-d-xo.html
