Two methods for creating fills
In lesson 15 you could learn how to orchestrate a rhythm on the kit.Now let's look at a some other methods for making up fills!
1. Add a rhythm to a movement
Use a combination of instruments and add a rhythm.
Moving between snare and tom:

Use your own rhythms and instrument combinations!
2. Sequences
Play a short phrase - for example:
That is 3 x 2 = six 16:th notes.
Play this phrase twice (= 12 notes). Since each measure contains 16 16:th notes, you have to add 4 16:th notes to complete it.
If you play these 4 notes in a similar pattern, you get something like this:

Add accents to give it a little "oomph":

A new phrase: Three 16:th notes on snare:
When you repeat this phrase you play alternating left and right hand accents!
You can fit 5 of these into one measure (5 x 3 =15). Add a single 16:th note.

Orchestrate!
Here, the accents (= the start of the phrase) are played on snare and the other notes on toms.

The same phrase, but: snare (left hand) - bass drum - tom (right hand).

Another new phrase. This time 5 16:th notes in length.
Alternating accents again!
3 x 5 notes, add 1 = 16 notes, equals one 4/4 bar

Here is an excercise containing a combination of these two methods
Play two notes on snare and one on bass drum. First as 8:th note triplets (3 notes per beat).
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Played twice the rate, you get 16:th note triplets.
Looks like this(6 note per beat):
