That Sneaky Drum Fill | Drum Lesson
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 07. 2024
- Alright drummers, in this lesson I will teach you a fun way to sneak a bit of spice into simple fills. This one isn't about blowing people doors off, it's about finding a balance between the chops swimming around in your head, and the fills that you SHOULD be playing when you are on a gig. Enjoy it, practice it and most importantly... make it your own!

I too did all those wedding gigs, my wife still thinks I am a drummer and I haven't had a kit for about 40 years ( I'm 80 ). But when I sit down my thighs are a set of Ludwigs, a hard surface is my practice pad. Inthe kitchen, I'm Buddy Rich. Wolf Trap is my theme music. I guess once a drummer, always a drummer. Love your CZcams sets.
haha RON your comment made my day! Say hello to your family. Grts from Belgium, and be safe.
@@BobSchoepenjr Hi Bob, thank you for getting in touch with me, so good to hear from you and meet my family. All my best to you all, I'm happy to know you, We drummers, past or present need to stick (no pun intended) together.
your ability to explain and teach is almost as impressive as your drum skills.
Much appreciate Thom! That's my true passion :)
Exactly, you said it right thomaaz!
Lol, yeah. When I started learning to play drums and people are telling me what rudiments are called and how to mouth them, all I said was WTF. That sounds made up lol. It's only until you begin to advance you understand it like your grandfather explaining his bowel functions.
Low key diss
Sometimes I get a bit nervous watching drumming videos online because I can find it incredibly daunting watching a really talented drummer play something so great and make it look so easy. But I find you so inspiring. You make me want to continue learning as much as I can on the drums :)

Oh my god, after all of these years - someone has mapped my brain activity
LOL!!! Welcome to the club :)
@@mikeslessons
Feels good to hear it from someone else's point if view, you know? Haha, cheers buddy! 🤘
I love your example of the "I've been learning that fill," followed by the awkward "yeah"....it's like you know me. 😂
Jonathan, I wouldn't know to say it unless I had been through it myself... MANY time, LOL
@@mikeslessons haha, we probably all have at some point.
@@mikeslessons random question, have you ever listened to the band Lettuce?
@@jonathanbormann5077 Yep, Adam and I are good friends. Lettuce is amazing!
@@mikeslessons should have figured...lol. Listening to their new album and I'm blown away. Lovin it.
I’ve never seen nor heard of this cat. With the ocean of channels like these, I’m SURPRISED to find this guy! He’s “friendly and INforMATIONAL!”
No bad ego; no fronts; no age-inappropriate vines or dyed lettuce; and really unique topic niche (here for SURE). I’m SUBBED! A nice balance between Harry Miree and Nate. 🤘🤙
AJ Constantine Thanks AJ! That means a lot my friend. Glad ya found me :) 🙏🍵🙏🍵
AJ Constantine : we forgive you😂
"Playing with confidence takes so much repetition, that's where the confidence comes from."
"Ooh I worked on that fill! Here it comes..." 🤣 I thought that was just me! Another great lesson Mike, thank you. Very happy to have found your channel. 👌👍🥁👊
Finally, an online drum tutor who gets to the point quickly, like it, v cool.
Awe man... thank you so much 🙏🍵🙏🍵
You're not "a "drummer.....you're "THE DRUMMER" ...your not lucky To have a gretsch drum kit, the drum kit is lucky To have you!!!😁 you truly are passionate human being , you not only make me wanna be a better drummer , but a better personne To ! I just discover you a month ago , after à few year of stopping playing drum , now i'm going back on the kit !! Merci beaucoup Mike !! Greeting from the province of Québec !!
As a wedding drummer and pop session drummer - @0:08 this is EAXTLY what is going through my head!
LOL! I wasn't kidding at all. Before this career that I have now it was all cover gigs and weddings and man... I was CHOPPING out in my head while playing Girl From Ipanema 😂😂😂
For some artists I love their playing, for some I love their representation, for some it's something else. But for Mike... He's the whole package of a great drummer, a great teacher and a guy with keen sense of representation (Visuals, Videography, content, everything... ). I learn so much from him.
I dream to meet you one day, Mike!!! ❤️
How dare you suggest that something like 3:05 ever happened to me?
OK, maybe once or twice. It’s a great way to get the band’s instant attention!
Absolutely love this Breakdown for sneaky fill. But damn son your video editing is something out of Hollywood brother! Talk about adding some “paprika” and “spice”. It's not just in your playing and way of explaining complex Drumming skills but your video editing "chops".... Are stellar! That's some serious spice right there too! 👊👍
That snare sounds so good I had to re-watch the whole video because I couldn't focus on the fill hahaha
Thanks 🙏🙏🙏 and... NO snare mic :)
@@mikeslessons Exactly why I can't help but listen to it more than the explanation of the fill 😂
Great lesson! flam-floom-shlempy-doom 4:10. Life changing
There really is a whole life worth of lesson in flam-floom-shlempy-doom :)
5:23 thats me, the best mouth drummer in town.
My man you are an amazing teacher!
Great attitude. Love it.
"I'm afraid you have underestimated my sneekyness". Sneeky sneeky. Very cool. Love your enthusiasm and skill .
i just love this guy...always great lessons.
Ok I’m in. Love your energy.
Great video Mike, sounds very clean and fluid thanks for sharing!
Looove it. Really awesome methodology and great “music” humor. Thanks for putting these videos out
Just started watching a few of your videos and I have to say, I just love your energy and enthusiasm. You make it fun to want to learn new things. Thanks!
Tasty stuff man! So simple, yet so effective!
Awesome video, made me laugh a few times. Definitely one of the most laid back, non scripted, authentic drum lessons out there!
This is great. Picked it up very quickly and already came up with “my” versions for use from now until the day of time, lol. Thanks Mike
That was great Mike!
This is my first time watching any of your videos and I instantly subscribed..
You are a natural, thank you for explaining it so well!!.
You sir are amazing, mad props to you.
Great lick. Thanks so much, Mike!!!
You're great man! Tank you so much for sharring you're knowledge with us!You've got a new subscriber :) God bless you and greetings from Romania!!!!!!
Just saw this clip... Infectious fun... Mike, you are a great teacher... Breaking out the metronome today and getting to it!
Thanks...
Thank you for all do do be do and all of the great shabakbaboo groovy stuff and enthusiasm. I am like sooo close to buying on of your lessons pack things. ( I do own your Linear book and it is killer !.., great source)
So much fun finding your channel! So entertaining, short and to the point, and enlightening for a rusty barely intermediate. Getting back into drums after a 12 year hiatus, being an average wannabe guitarist forever, and learning how to play drums back then from Rock Band. Random youtube suggestion brought me here, and I am having fun digging through the library of fun and helpful stuff! Happy New Year and byeya 2020!
must be around 10 years on from when I started watching you're videos. Spent a bit of time on your live lesson. I'm still learning new things form you!
Cheers for the education!
Virada TOP, agressiva e suave ao mesmo tempo👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Damn! Just stumbled across this and instantly subbed. Amazing energy, amazing drumming and really motivating to get behind my kit and put in the time it takes to learn this fill. Thank you for really exceptional content! Now off to consume the rest of it:)
Yes,my man! Another great one!
You’re the man Mike. Your attitude is as accomplished as your chops bud. Stay safe 🇨🇦
you are such a good teacher !!!
Just amazing!!!
Your energy is so great in these videos. gets me excited to try and study these things you show. I love it!
I have one critic though... It needs more Juneau!
Great lesson one of the best I've seen in a while!
Hey Mike, Thanks for your lessons, I really LOVE your grooves man, I'm learning a lot and sometimes add some of your grooves into my band's songs. It works great ! Thanks again !
This is tasteful
And the video is very nice too, you got me
Awesome lesson as always Mike. That solo was insane!
Yer awesome. And ya keep good time and have good timing. I was just going through a confidence thing trying to make a video of my own it's not rocket surgery but sometimes we need to hear what we already know. Keep up the good work and thank you.
You make it so easy to learn 🔥
Aaaaand just like that, I'm subscribed. Great video. I shall now proceed to pilfer through all your vids and anxiously await the new ones. Also, I enjoy your fluent drum-speak. Spot on!!
Awesome, thank you!
Hillarious! Thank you!
Always awesome 🖤
Love it!! Your videos are always so much fun to watch.
Jeff Hy Thanks a ton Jeff 🙏 🍵🙏🍵 That means a lot bro :)
It Makel so fun listening to your drums!!!! 🙂 greetings from germany Christoph 👏👏👏👏👏
3:05 has that ever not happened to me? 😂😂
Awesome communication, relevant, and inspiring! Like your enthusiasm, too.
Jim Warnock Man, thank you so so much!
Hola Mike.
Qué maravilla envolvente es este fill. Abrazo en cuarentena desde Buenos Aires Argentina.
Oooh this is a really cool fill that I wouldn't know how to break down from hearing (or watching) in full speed. Cool video and thank you!
Great lesson... Not used to leading with my right hand when I start a fill on the snare... So this is helping with that weakness... Love it man!
Eric E Gutierrez Awe man, that’s so great to hear!
Love your energy and enthusiasm. New sub.
Thank you Nathan, that means a lot. Now for the big question... did ya practice it? 🙏🍵🙏🍵
Nice lesson! I call it compression and expansion :D
Or tension and release.
cramping a lot of strokes and then the release with a few simple ones.
Much like building tension with dissonance and relieving the listener with the resolution in beautiful harmonics.
I love how he talks about a fill like it’s a person. This dude cracks me up😂
Awesome. Thanks Mike !!!
Great instructions!!🥁
Dude you are an amazing teacher!
Don't stop!
Gianni Badeau Gianni, I really appreciate that man. I promise to not stop teaching if you promise to not stop practicing :)
Your a good teacher.
Thanx for your lessons
Your teachings are so
entertaining 🥁😅👍🏼
great man!great drumming!
Lovely fill. Will try out.
You light up my life
Beautiful fill. Talking of spice, Gadd did it ALL the time in terms of sneaking things in, and HOW!
Mike, I've been on your channel since 2005, just wanted to take this time to let you know how positive a dude you are, on too of being a fab instructor and of course, a killer drummer! Hope to meet at 21 Drums some day :)
Oh man, have you ever heard that BOMB he snuck into We're In This Love Together by Al Jarreau? Bananas! Thank You for all the kind words my friend.
@@mikeslessons That, and EVERY Paul Simon record, ever. He's my number 1, and as I get older, I understand why He is Gaddfather. There really isn't a quartet like him, Vinnie, Porcaro and Carlos Vega. Vinnie is an 👽, but these FOUR guys, man: pocket, feel, taste, the RIGHT things for a song. All my life, I have had ONE goal: to be a SONG drummer, and you definitely know what I mean. That's also why I'm a HUGE fan of Ash. I HAVE to meet the bunch of you guys. Damn this pandemic!
Such a cool fill! 🙌🏻
This is freaky awesome!
My love for this man and his teachings grows with each video. Can't wait to commit this to muscle memory. Pat Boone is outta here baby! Thank you sir.
You have no idea how much I appreciate that Ozzie! Thank you 🙏 🍵🙏🍵
grazie sei veramente bravo e simpatico quanto spieghi gli esercizi
nice lick, thanks for sharing.
You are a true magician
So sick! man I love this!!!
🙏🙏🍵🍵🍵
first time watching one of your videos. love the energy! and what a great lesson, thank you :D
me too.... subbed!!
Awe man... thank you 🙏🙏🙏
This is great.....simple, nasty, and funny as hell. Good Stuff Mike....thx.Stay safe!
So glad ya dig it my friend! 🙏🙏🙏
Dude, that is freaking fantastic. Thanks for that. Now I'm going to go practice it for two hours and see if I can get it down. Thank you.
YES!!! That's what I love to hear :)
Dude, great teacher!
Mike, this is why I subscribed to your channel: pure beast licks with devilish taste. Keep it up my man.
Are ya trying to make me cry? 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you very much for the great lesson.
Hi Mike, great lesson, thanks a lot. Not least, your snare sounds amazing - is there any chance you'd explain your tuning, use of heads etc for this particular snare or have possibly already done so in another video? Thanks and best greetings.
This is very dope. I’m going to use this for sure.
Twas an honor meeting you at the Gadd show at Yoshi’s!
No where near being able to do this yet, but I did go and get that metronome app! Can’t wait to try it out.
Sei un grande, grazie
Love your feel! You are a monster
Waaaoooowww !!!
X'cellent !!!
So much fun !!!
🥁🎵🥁🎵🥁🎵🥁🎵🥁🎵🥁🎵🥁🎵
Oh man this fill feels good.. I needed something to get me out of the boom deck of Doom
Omg I keep watching the first 20 seconds... its so true!!!! 🤣
Thanx again your cool dude. I'll check out your stuff
Mike you are da man, greetings from Tampa Bay Fla.
the beginning was hilarious
Nice drum look,sound sweet too!
That thing you did at the beginning is something i do when i want to keep better time :D
This was spot on.
Love the enthusiasm… Wish I understood drum speak LOL… Subscribed
Too sneaky and spicy fills as always Mike, never change!
I couldn't if I tried, lol Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
