Want your drum fills to stand out? Try these quick tips:
- Play with Subdivisions – Mix 8ths, 16ths, and triplets for fresh rhythms.
- Change Orchestration – Move the same pattern across toms, snare, hats, or ride.
- Use Dynamics – Add ghost notes and accents to create contrast.
- Add Rudiments – Throw in paradiddles, flams, or drags for more flavor.
- Leave Space – A well-placed pause can be more powerful than nonstop fills.
- Serve the Song – Always match the feel of the music, not just your chops.
👉 Creativity comes from small variations. Record yourself, experiment, and keep evolving.
