Basic Drum Fills – Quiz | Course 11

Chad describes the ideal fill sound as a ‘machine gun.’ What does he mean?

Fast, aggressive, and louder than the beat

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Starting soft and building to a loud crash

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Playing only on the snare with no toms

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Both hands hitting with equal volume and velocity — even dynamics, right and left

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

When you finish a fill that ends on the floor tom, Chad says to come back to the hi-hat on the two — not the & of one. Why?

The hi-hat is physically too far to reach on the &

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

At faster tempos you don’t have enough time to get back to the hi-hat on the & — coming back on the two sounds more natural and keeps the pocket

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

The & of one conflicts with the snare

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

True or False: During a fill, the bass drum rests — you only bring it back in after the fill is done.

True

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

False

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

What does Chad say is the worst thing you can do during a fill?

Moving off the snare too soon

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Playing the floor tom with the wrong hand

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Stopping your breathing — cutting off oxygen to your muscles causes tension and makes everything lock up

Correct Incorrect Correct answer
