Video Transcript

"PAT LOUIS: On behalf Expert Village, I'm Pat Louis in Miami, Florida. And today, I'm going to show you some basic drum rhythms. Now every song has fills, whether you're doing a ballad, whether you're doing a jazz thing or a rock thing, it has a fill. And you want to make them tasty, not too long, and you certainly don't want to do them every measure, okay? Because then it gets to be very boring. So let's say in a rock song and I'm going to be using brushes so it's not too loud. In the rock song we're doing this - if we want to do, one measure fill. You can count, one, two, three, four and that would be back into one or you can use the crash cymbal. One, two, three, and that's where your one would come in. If you're doing a shuffle, you did kind of feel where the one is going to be and that's where you start your fill, just before that. One of my favorite fills the one - the song "Dawn" with the Four Seasons when they go through the whole thing, we kind of go like - and then you go into "Ahh, Go away I'm no good for you". So it's a great, great fill, one of the great fills of all, all songs in the history I think. And I think you could do that too."
