Okay, it's more like 5 minutes thirty three seconds. This is a cool fill using stick shots and drags. Be sure to count through this phrase so you don't get lost. With enough practice, any drummer can do this one and your playing will be leveled up!

If a fill lasts for 5 minutes, I think its safe to say that its not a fill.

[@TimMetz]

😂 I mean, if the tempo is slow enough it could stretch to 5 minutes.

[@megamatt1915]

love your jazz tutorials!

[@TimMetz]

Thank you!

[@syjwg]

Great lick! Counting vocally is something I've never practiced, but I've realized that it's very helpful.

[@2_zik359]

Thanks Tim you really make jazz playing more understandable.
The hardest thing for me is to keep the hi-hat pattern straight always struggle.

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Jayoforshow]

Tim your jazz videos are amazing, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!! Sorry to ask a gear question here… but what is that hi hat clutch you’re using? Thanks again

[@TimMetz]

I think it’s a Cherry Hill clutch. It was a gift from a friend a few years ago.

[@chenli9208]

I love it

[@TimMetz]

Thanks!

[@AstAMoore]

Sweet! While you’re at it, could you make a short video explaining how you manage to bury the beater with the bass drum tuned so high? Even though I tune mine a tad lower, try as I might, I can’t keep the beater from bouncing off the head and creating sort of an unintentional (very fast) diddle. (Along with the associated pitch bend, this creates an interesting effect, but that’s not what I’m going for.)

[@TimMetz]

The thing is, I’m not burying my bd beater.

[@AstAMoore]

@@TimMetz Ha! Sure you do! At the end of the phrases (for example, right around the 1:59 mark).

[@TimMetz]

@@AstAMoore Busted! That's from the first 5 seconds of the video where you can see I back off the head almost right away. I would say that I'm usually not trying to bury the beater unless it's a sound I'm trying to hear. Also not to say that it might happen sometimes unintentionally as in this clip. I do bury the beater intentionally when I'm trying to mimic a Brazilian Surdo, but that comes with the flutter and pitch bending effect you were talking about.

[@AstAMoore]

@@TimMetz Thanks! I thought I was going crazy (not to say that I’m not). I only recently started to incorporate burying the beater in my playing, and not being able to execute it cleaning is utterly frustrating. Now I know I’m not the only one with that problem. (And yes, it’s more useful in Afro-Cuban/Latin music, but could be used effectively-albeit sparingly-in bebop and straight-ahead jazz, too.)

[@JunkerOnDrums]

Nice fill :D

[@TimMetz]

Thanks!

[@cool-km9ck]

I want to learn jazz drums but I have considered online lessons but I learn best in person.Ive been trying to find jazz drum teachers near me and can’t find any, I’m still on the search what should I do?

[@erichernandezespinosa7067]

Fill a la Roy Haynes?
It remember me much him 😅.

[@TimMetz]

Sure! Roy Haynes certainly played a lot of things like this.
