Cowbell Groove Exercises: 2 bar Grooves with Fills (With this lesson, please throw on the snares for a nice sound.) I need you to stick to the 2-bar groove and we're going to put in some fills, without losing the feel of the groove! It is absolutely necessary to keep the feel of the groove going, even when you play fills. In fact, what is the use of playing drums if there isn’t any groove happening? Then you're just making noise on the kit! So please, keep time at all times! When you play fills, be sure to come back at the same groove that you started with! During the fill it's important to maintain the hi-hat off-beat. Enjoy playing this groove and your fills. Cheers! Juan
