As a composer, i have to say that these fills are like finding an oasis in the middle of the desert when you are thirsty.

Awesome idea! These are even useful just to listen to and marinate on when away from the kit! 🫡👌🏻

Hi, can you please make some sheets for snare drums but as a piece that is a bit challenging but not too hard? Like a bit faster in rhythm but not so many triplets and other notes that make sight reading difficult. Would that be possible? Thank you very much for your videos, they are great for learning.

Hey these are great and really helped my practice… but do you think you could make a sped up version I feel that it’s a bit slow for me. Thanks 😊

what notation software do you use to notate the drum rhythms?
