Things You'll Need:
- Drum kit
- Drum sticks
-
Step 1
Begin by playing a basic rock beat. The drummer can play a typical 1-2-3-4 or 1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and pattern.
-
Step 2
Keep the basic beat with the hi-hat, bass and snare as you play the drums.
-
Step 3
Play the drums with a four bar phrase. The drummer will play the pattern like this: 1-2-3-4-2-2-3-4-3-2-3-4. The beginner fills will be played on the fourth bar of the fourth measure.
-
Step 4
Add the beginner fills by hitting the snare, tom drums, cymbals--or even silence--to fill the bar. It's the drummer's time to go freestyle on the drums and show his creative side, but timing is critical. Do not cut the bar short or play too long.
-
Step 5
Continue by starting over with the original beat and then add the beginner fills again at the end.
