Drum Fills: 6 Stroke Roll/ Kick Pause - With KJ-Rias

Song: Marina & the Diamonds - "Oh No"
This drum fill came up through jamming along to a Marina and the Diamonds song. It starts with a 6 stroke roll then moves into some single strokes and a little fancy footwork. This works great for leading up to a musical pause, or you can extend it into a full 2 bar fill

This guy is the BEST drum teacher I have ever watched. I learned most of my drum fills from him. He also rocks that flat cap.

What happened to this guy? Really a natural teacher. I grew up with a classical teacher that beat reading into my head. And that’s great and all. Side note: I can barely read anymore after a 25 year absence. But I wish I had a guy like this back then that would have just showed me a trick here and there around the kit. Stuff to build off of. Then you link that with reading after they learn the chop. Had it gone down like that, I might not have taken the four years away from drums that I did during high school. Time lost never to be regained. Good teachers are important. Bad teachers suck.

I'm a beginner drummer and I would have to say that I find your lesson's informative and engaging. I appreciate the fact that you are able to simplify complex fills by breaking it into small digestible bite size steps - excellent teacher. Thank you KJ.

I agree. I have checked a lo-hot of drummers out, and this guy not only rocks, but teaches so well. Thanks brother. You are a credit.

That is one sick fill, I have made a promise to myself to learn this by the end of the week to impress all my friends lol. Thanks man, the six stroke roll is my all time favourite rudiment, and to see a cool amazing fill being created with it fills my head with inspiration.
