FINALLY a new drum lesson. This is a breakdown of a drum fill I stole from Jairo Ubiaño (with his permission of course). It is a super slick 16th note triplet fill.

Main reasons I love this fill and decided to break it down in a lesson:

• Starts with the left hand, which leads to several cool orchestration possibilities
• Snare is on beat 1, which is a favorite of mine
• It involves an open hi hat, which quickly closes a 16th triplet later with a snare (which is a weird thing I totally love)
• You can use this fill as a way to play something slick and cool, while maintaining a back beat on 2 and 4

I could go on and on about why I love this fill…but that is what the video lesson is for! Watch the lesson above – and then download the sheet music below.
