DLA 05: Mike Mangini intro fill from 'Hip Today' (Part 2 of 2) Drum Lesson Academy
-
- Musica
This intro fill spans two beats of a 4/4 measure before playing hits on beat three and the second sixteenth note of beat four before finishing with a flam on beat one of the second bar.
Ex.01 The first part of the fill is based around a paradiddle-diddle. The sticking is RLRRLL. This is followed with two notes on the kick drum, a right hand on the floor tom and a left hand on the snare drum. This takes us up to beat two.
Ex.02 In this example we add two more kick drum notes on the second and fourth sixteenth note of beat two before playing the crash and snare drum in unison on beat three.
Ex.03 To complete the fill we now add a left hand snare drum note on beat four and then a crash and kick drum in unison on the second sixteenth note of beat four. The fill concludes with a flamed snare drum note on beat one of the next bar.
‘Hip Today’ is from the Album ‘Waiting for the Punchline’ by Extreme.
