Creating The Perfect Drum Fill

Support this podcast Creating a drum fill that connects with everyone, not just drummers, is tough. Creating a signature fill that becomes iconic for an entire generation? That’s damn near impossible. In this week’s episode, Eddy and I break down how to think about the song first instead of worrying about what other drummers might think. We talk about musical responsibility, writing “hooks” on the drums, and how to craft fills that actually elevate the music instead of cluttering it. And yes… somewhere along the way we also dive into the global matcha shortage (because, of course we do). LOL. Enjoy - Mike J Support the show
