Fills are usually found at the beginning and ending of songs, al the end of certain bars (ie when the song changes from verse to chorus and vice-versa), or when jeading into an instrumental. There are no set rules for fils, but they must be in time with the piece of music you are playing and tastefully played. Ary part of the drum kit can be used, with rolls around the fom-toms and crashing cymbals being very common DYNAMICS (the varying degrees of softness and loudness in music) play an important role in music as they add color and feeling Its important to note that you dont need to put every fil you know into one break as some of the best sound: ing fils are the ones with the least amount of playing in them, You will find that most fils come at the end of every 4. 8, 12 or 16 bars. with the fil taking up the last 1 or 2 beats of the bar or the whole last bar, eg. in a 12 bar progression you might play the standard beat for 11 bars and use a fil in the last bar to lead back into a repeat of the progression In these exercises we wil combine a beat with a fil, with the fil taking up 1 or 2 beats of the bar.

Pages 3 and7 are opened and choked hi hat, and pages 4 and 8 develop the typical "Latin" left hand moving between the snare and small tom tom while the right hand plays on the ride cymbal. Use straight eighth notes and phrase carefully (especially the poly-rhythms). The bass drum notation always refers to one bass, so take care to develop a fast, loud foot. Experiment with the exercises and develop other ways of playing these excerpts. Quarter notes or even eighth notes should be played by the left foot (hi hat) when playing the ride cymbal, se A A 2 ao fea Escaneado con CamScanner
