So you get snare, tom, bass, in a very quick motion. First what you do is play snare and one of the toms, and as fast as you can, play the bass. I call them triplets (but they are quads). The last kind of fill is very VERY complicated. Switch drums, and switch up different pieces of the drums to use. Bass drum x4 snare x4 bass drum right tom x4. An idea you can use is 4 hits on the snare, 4 hits on the double bass, then 4 hits on the snare. The first one is like the other type of fill, but with stick used drums, and double pedal. If you do not have a double bass then move on. The other 2 types of fills use double bass. Or you can be random like, snare, floor tom, snare right tom, snare left tom, etc. You can improvise and play something with the bass like snare x2, left tom 圆, then right tom x8. You will get this Bass and snare snare snare snare bass and left tom left tom left tom left tom bass and right tom right tom right tom right tom bass and floor tom floor tom floor tom floor tom. Play a steady beat on the bass, play 4 on the snare, 4 on the left tom, 4 on the right tom, and 4 on the floor tom. Playing fills The first fill you can use can simply be the preparation The second, what you can do is switch it up. You will get this Hi hat and snare hi hat hi hat and bass hi hat hi hat and snare repeat. Then, after the snare hit, play one hi hat play the bass drum. For this you can count 1-2-3-4 like the first beat. The most used beat would be with 3 hi hat hits in between snare hits.

This is what you will get: Hi hat and snare hi hat and bass hi hat and bass hi hat and snare etc. Now, notice how there is one hi hat hit in between Each snare hit. You should have this: Hi hat and snare hi hat and bass hi hat and snare etc. On the other 2 beats, AKA 3 and 4, play the snare. Keep playing and on beats "1" and "3", play the bass drum. Do what you learned to do for preparation. _ Playing beats Now, to playing actual beats. First Picture: High hat Second: Crash Third: Ride Fourth: Splash Fifth: China The ride usually is not used like a crash. Near the center hole of the cymbal is a hill called the "bell". The ride is like a large crash, except it is thicker. The china is like a normal splash or crash, except the edges are large "mountains". Another variation of the crash is the china. The range of size is about 3 inches to about 8 inches. The crash is a cymbal you hit to spice up the rhythm, to make the beat more flamboyant and "un-dull" it.

If you open the hi hat, it can be used on anything. The closed (cymbals touching) hi hat when you step on it can be used with any genre except metal. If you do step on it, the cymbals do touch each other.

What the pedal does, is if you do not step on the pedal, the cymbals do not touch each other. It has a pedal at the bottom of the stand. There are MANY MANY different type of cymbals Hi - Hat (most important) Crash ride splash china The hi hat is 2 cymbals facing each other. Cymbals are metal sheets, usually slightly rounded.
