Part 7 · Fills · Chapter 93
Every fill in this part was built the same way: pick a rhythm (quarters, eighths, sixteenths or triplets), pick a length (one beat, two beats or a whole bar), and pick a path around the drums.
| CHOOSE | OPTIONS |
|---|---|
| Rhythm | Quarters, eighths, sixteenths, triplets, or a mix |
| Length | 1 beat, 2 beats, 1 bar |
| Path | High to low, low to high, snare only, back and forth |
| Extras | Flams, accents, bass drum notes, rests |
Flams on the toms mixed with sixteenths.

When you make up a fill you like, write it down. In a few weeks you’ll have your own fill book.
