Gavin Harrison Will Make Your Limbs Work Together (Drum Lesson)

Articulation and coordination are so important to bass drum technique, but suddenly when your hands start playing complex patterns your feet are forgotten! Thankfully Gavin Harrison's got you covered and in this lesson, he will help you make your limbs work together.

The basic concept of this exercise is picking a common bass drum pattern and playing rudiments, leading with your weak hand, over top. This exercise focuses on connecting your limbs together in different combinations so they're perfectly synchronized. No flams! The end goal is to have complete freedom with your kick drum while your hands play anything they want.

This is probably the single best tip I've ever heard for any drummer looking to break out of "intermediate" territory.

The fact he uses such a chill song like Bill Withers’ Lovely Day as a reference for a bass drum exercise is one of the reasons I love this drummer 🥁
