I hope you all enjoy this one! If you'd like to take these concepts further, you can book a one-on-one online lesson with me here: JeffRandallDrumming.com
Great tutorial thanks. These fills are awesome. When you play the 1st fill, the 1st 2 times you just play it totally straight and then when you play it at 120 bpm you accent the 4th stroke (L) and play the R after that softly etc. It would be useful to have those accents on the sheet music as they make up a massive part of the feel of the fills.
I'm amazed at the way you open your fingers before any accented stroke. Like it looks as if you are going to drop the sticks. But nope, you have a very consistent accented stroke. Awesome.
If you look up Moeler strokes there are 4 in total; Full Stroke (start with the stick and hand Up and then drop your hand to make contact with the stick head on the drum and bringing it back to the top, this is an accent note). Down Stroke (Same as the Full Stroke but you stop with the stick head an inch above the skin, this is accent note), Tap Stroke (start with the stick head an inch above the skin and just Tap the head and return the head to inch above the head, this a Ghost note). Tap Up Stroke (this is complex and really important one (do this slowly at first, start with the stick head an inch above the drum, slowley move you elbow out 6 inches, quickly cock your wrist as if you are looking at your watch and release your 3 figures on the stick. This motion allothews the stick head to drop onto skin doing a Tap Stroke (a Ghost note) What he's doing here (the you have observed) is a Tap Up Stroke followed by a Down Stroke (which these 2 strokes make up the motion he describes in other videos as the wipping motion).
Man this lesson was really really great and extremely useful. This is the kind of stuff we needed! Really usable fills. Will learn them and use them. Thanks!
A couple questions…it appears that you mostly use single bass drum, do you or have you ever played double bass drum? What is your preference and why? Thanks for the great videos!!
Be good if you could do fills that don’t always start on the 1 on the 4th bar of a 4 bar groove. Just for some variety :) did you always have 2 floor toms?
Can anyone help explain the llr flam like the beginning of the third fill, I'm struggling to follow it and I've not seen something in the notation like that. Very new
Hey Alex, that's a "drag" you're seeing there. It's like a super quick roll. So just play a double in your left hand right before the right hand hits on beat 1. Hope that helps dude, lemme know.
Ugh. I can learn and get very comfortable with how the fills are played at 60. Robotic like. But I'm getting frustrated with the leap you make to 120. It's not just the bpm, it sounds... Different. Accents then? Small rests or something... I play it faster, I just sound like you do at 60 but at a higher bpm. *Edit: went back and watched at half speed. I think I'm seeing how some of these notes are ghosted. I really have my work cut out for me.
Love that kit setup. Big drums. Big cymbals.
haha there's more:
big SAKAE drums
1:05 that was just so damn relatable.
1:11 I love that! It's like a foreign language that only drummers can speak 😆
Excellent as always sir!
Much appreciated Joseph!
Very useful fills! Thank you Jeff
this guy is a superstar. love your videos, man

This is really awesome! Thanks for sharing these fills
Wow! Thanks so much Jeff! You've give me so many useful things to work on over the years. 🥁❤
You’re very welcome John!
Nice groove and fills man. You def have a certain style, even down to the taking your fingers off the stick on almost every ghost note.
Really beautiful Jeff.
Loved it! Thanks Jeff!!
Sick !! Love these types of vids Jeff 😊 Keep em coming your an inspiration 🤙🏼
Will do bud, thanks for watchin’.
1:06 when a drummer learns drum without drum
These are all great! Simple but effective and massive sounding. I have something to work on today so thank you!
You’re welcome, have fun!
Awesome vid Jeff! These fills are bad-ass 👊
The first Fill is absolutely Awesome 😎🥁
Hey Man thanks for demonstrating/reminding about the singing the fills to feel the fills! Shout out from CA
Man this lesson was really really great and extremely useful. This is the kind of stuff we needed! Really usable fills. Will learn them and use them. Thanks!
Awesome dude
CLEAN AF
Those snare dynamics are tricky. So much in the feel.
That's right man, that's the secret sauce!
There is something useful in ur video all the time brother 😊
Thanks James!
Jeff dude you should check out the 20" cluster crash, feel like youd love it
Right on, I’ll give it a look.
Always love it..
I will try this one. 😇

Awesome!
Good lord what snare is that??? Awesome video
Thanks!!!!!!!!
i love that beginning grace note thing on the first fill. what is that called? (im not talking about the flam)
Be good if you could do fills that don’t always start on the 1 on the 4th bar of a 4 bar groove. Just for some variety :) did you always have 2 floor toms?
Noted! And I sometimes have that second floor tom and sometimes don’t. I only hit it occasionally so it’s more about the look, haha.
@@JeffRandallDrumming Oh nice!. I'd love to hear your 10 commandments of drumming. My number 1 is - Time is king. Number 2 - Make it groove
Cuzjudd thanks for the ideas! I like that.
