  • Well, maybe it's not much of a secret because I've taught this in my camps, on my site and in clinics BUT... each time I teach it it's slightly different, and I REALLY hope this concept clicks for you! - Enjoy

      Much appreciated. The truth is that this stuff is ALL credit to Elvin Jones, Tony Williams, Jack DeJohnette, etc. I'm just trying to bring something new to the delivery of the information. 🍵🙏🍵🙏

    Wow Mike you nailed right where I am in my drumming. I have a lot of wonderful chunks and I have been practicing them diligently, now it is time to start putting them together. Of course, I see how this applies in both the chunks of Rlk, krL and as in my case, the chunks of paradiddles, swiss flams, train beat, and crisp doubles. I found this a timely lesson, and as always Mike you bring the benefits in each video you share. Thank you for your consistent encouragement and simple instruction.

    I love that way of sticking and counting as blocks. It s mode, effective. I m glad that we have access to all those lessons nowadays. I ve been playing drums for 10 years when I was younger. I m 41 years old and got myself an EFnote 5X like 3 months ago after 20 years without playing. Put my self in hard training since then with practicing rudiments and that kind of lessons. I m a better drummer now than when I quit drumming 20 years ago! That s awesome. Thanks so much for giving us that precious knowledge. Greetings from Belgium.

    Mike, the best drum teacher! 🥁♥️🎶 His instructions are cut in to manageable segments, which I find key to muscle memory, especially linear dynamics. I just received my 15" extra dry medium hi-hats yesterday. I have been having a 3 hour affair with these babies...Comon!!🤗 Mike teaches so your creativity can develop, which is what fits with so many grooves.😎🤘

    I feel pretty comfortable practicing these fills :) But breaking them down, changing tempos, etc, really gives me pause and makes me think about what I’m doing.
    Like you commented that this was less about the triplet and more about the arranging, phrasing, and moving the sequences around the kit. Thanks for this.

    I'v been playing for 18 years and just played along to songs, Id say fairly well....this video made me believe I was teachable. I never really cared to be taught. I watch a lot of drumming videos, thinking, meh, I play well enough.
    This way of teaching, IMO, has been the most helpful. Love the "blocks" So much easier for me to break it down. I believe I can take this to the kit. Thanks again!

    Thank you very much Mike for sharing this lesson. I´m a drummer since I was born (60 now) love the instrument so much. Never could see this exercise so clear till now. I´ve heard this fills since allways but never could play them because, at last, I didn´t know well how they worked. Now I must practice and sure I´ll be playing them in every fill they fit!!!! Thank you from Buenos Aires.

    Love this lesson, Mike, thanks! I was a 14 year old trying to figure out what heck John Bonham was doing and absolutely not getting it- at all. I met a drum teacher at the local music store, every town had one in those days, he chuckled and showed how simple, yet effective, triplet fills are. He then made buy a copy of "Adventures in Time" by Dave Brubeck and Joe Morello became my new idol!
