Lesson 8: Your First Fill: The Tom Run

What this lesson teaches: A one-bar fill that walks down the toms.

This is lesson 8 of 100 in RockBlocks Drum School, a free, stepwise course where each lesson adds one new idea to the one before it. The previous lesson, Open Hi-Hat Accents,” covered opening and closing the hi-hat for a splashy accent. Next is Lesson 9, Eighth-Note Fill.”

The lesson beat is loaded in the grid above. Press play to hear the loop, or drag the beat blocks to see how the groove is put together, one drum row at a time. Nothing you change here is saved, so every visitor starts from the same pattern.
