Hi Drummers, I hope you’re enjoying and getting some ideas from the 5 Essential Blues Drum Fills Series…let me know if you are! So, here’s a short clip from a blues rehearsal/jam just after lockdown about a year ago. Chris ‘Whipper’ Layton was Stevie Ray Vaughan’s drummer - if you’ve never heard of either you should get onto Google and YouTube to do some blues history research. Remember blues is a roots style, like jazz so a lot of music has come from this foundation. Anyhow, in this clip I play at least 3 out of the 5 essential blues style fills (along with some other blues shuffle stuff). Can you spot them…?
Hope you enjoy this!
Regards
Alan
