Peter Erskine: Creative Practicing with Drum Fills

ArtistWorks jazz drum master Peter Erskine shows you how to get creative when it comes to practicing fills, as part of his online drum lessons series! 

From his work with Weather Report and other jazz heavyweights like Michael Bublé, Diana Krall and fellow ArtistWorks instructor, bassist John Patitucci, Erskine's drum lessons offer players the tools they need to play more tastefully, expressively and masterfully.

For Peter “learning how to create an outline for your drum fills and finding creative ways to fill in the spaces" is key to making your drum fills shine and add to the beauty of the groove. “As you start to add 5 stroke rolls, 6 stroke rolls, or even septuplet patterns, it’s easy to come out of the fill on the wrong beat even if your hi-hat stays on tempo,” Peter explains, “which is why it's important to practice this with a metronome.”

 

Check out Peter’s guide to practicing with drum fills and get your creative juices flowing!
