Drum Fill Of The Week 20/04/2020 - Stairway To Heaven!

Great to take these fills out of the tune, orchestrate them around the kit in different ways and assimilate them into your own vocabulary. Love it!

Hey Mike don’t know if I ever told you but I had the great honor to see Led Zeppelin four times in the 70’s 71,72,73, final time 3/5/75 in Dallas so great to see you keeping it going. PS you almost played intro to We’re an American band,another very fast right foot Don Brewer.
