This simple but effective drum fill is called Lead Double Foot for the obvious reason, lol I hope you use it as a linear building block for your own fills in a similar fashion.

I called this one "THE SEVEN TRAP" for the obvious reason that it is in seven but also has a sort of trap beat double time hi hat thing to it.

Overlapping paradiddles in the first two beats of this rhythm make it an exercise to develop the "Well Placed Double"

This beat is not quite harmonic yet not entirely linear; a concept that provides us with the opportunity to express variations on a theme using the 2 & 4 on the snare drum as a pivot point.

After adding back onto my kit the 8" and 12" toms I constructed this simple yet versatile sequence to reacquaint myself with this setup.

This one is a bit longer than usual (hence the name) but I thought it necessary to include some theme and variation.

A more harmonic and cool little invention from the late great Brian Palmer

With the creation of this video we establish a mini series wherein we investigate the possibilities of using a second snare.

Recently I've been trying out a lot of different snare drums and during the course of sampling sounds I came up with what will probably be the first of many exercises for the development of "two snare drum technique."

I didn't know what else to call it so... TOM GROOVE J24. Obviously it's a tom groove, the "J" is for January and 24 is for the year 2024. I'm sure there will be many more tom grooves moving forward with a similar sort of catalogue name

Swamp Thang is named after the slinky feeling of the left hand hi hat part that feels to me to be reminiscent of a New Orleans feel

I call this Trapped 32 for two reasons. First it sounds to me to be reminiscent of trap music. Also it is a solid grid of 32nd notes.

This drum fill combines the very common "drop" with a diddle pattern of questionable providence.

This is a great exercise to develop the shape of your open hi hat notes and the endurance of the shin and calve muscle to do so

This etude forces us to perform a half time pattern wherein accented notes and ghost stroke are performed with the left hand

This exercise uses the paradiddle rudiment in an "off set" fashion in order to create a slinky "Steve Gadd like" groove.

This video demonstrates the attribute of "pulling the sound out" of the toms.

This is a fill that I improvised in the video example of the Starman track from YouTube that was commented on as being an interesting topic of study.

This is a sudo "tom groove" that makes use of the inverted double

Because of its close relationship to the very typical Motown fill, this fill is named with the suffix "Extension" as it elaborates on that typical archetype.

Triplets grouped in a seven note linear phrase create the illusion of temporarily being in a different time.

This 32nd note drum fill sounds like absolute chaos due to the voicing in beat three of the linear figure KKRKRL

This fill uses groups of 5 (RLLRR LRRLL) in a triplet rhythm to create a trippy illusion of temporarily changing time.

This pattern is born of the same sort of experimentation that typically leads here. That being, the invention of patterns that challenge a weakness in my technique.
