Today's lesson is on the classic, Bucket o' Fish Fill. This is a timeless fill that has been used for decades and will continue.
However, as popular as it is, it's very easy to play sloppy! If we're not careful we too can get in that compromising mindset and think we're just crushing it...when we're not.
This lesson covers the common pitfalls us drummers face when trying to execute this fill. By focusing on just a couple techniques, you will OWN the Bucket o' Fish and elevate the awareness for the rest of your playing.
Make the most out of your next practice session by checking out this Lesson/Blog and push yourself to see how you can use it to become the best drummer you can be!

YOU ROCK! 😁 I need to work on this!

Thanks, brotha! We all do!

[@hasudungantambunan73]

Great lesson. Shout out from Indonesia.

[@JeffBowders]

Thank you, Hasudungan! Say hello to Indonesia for me!

[@davidfaifer2462]

This is a hell of fun to practice and play! Thanks to your method it came natural pretty quickly. This fish is gonna fit great in my pond :) I tried to put in work my left foot by counting quarters on hihat, which is really tricky to me cause I'm not used to do so at all. Good for increasing my independence. Thanks a lot Jeff

[@JeffBowders]

Awesome, David! Yes, once you get a handle on the basic hand/foot pattern the hihat becomes a whole other beast. If you haven't tried it yet, I would suggest playing 8th Notes on hihat first. Sometimes the bigger space between the quarter notes can get a little "loose". Working it with 8ths first will give you a better foundation before the quarters. Go Get It!

My pleasure, Cory!

[@Dadedrums]

I really enjoyed your lesson! I dig on it and will need time to catch up on your channel. Here you have a new friend and subscriber from Menorca. Excuse my bad english though.

[@JeffBowders]

Thanks for checking it out! Menorca! Amazing! I should book a drum clinic there!

Hi Máster Jeff! From Chile here!! Thanks for the discipline. Query about your explanation on minute 6, in order to avoid that lazy wipe way, can we use Push & pull technique?
