I'm not a drummer but I can understand what it is. But I'm trying to explain it to a friend, how would I explain it?
I think he means he wants to explain what a drum fill is, not a specific fill.Umm...what fill? A link may help.
See I would have to add a ba-DANG pshhhhhhhhh, followed by a subtle yet poignant KA-POW!!!! I ve tried showing certain fills to "non-drummers" but its a learned lingo... or something.Boom Chicka taka chicka

Unless of course we're talking jazz and then this logic is reversed. You dance to the fills. : IIt's those fast notes that are really hard to dance to.
I didn't say don't dance to the little fast notes, I just said they're really hard to dance to. But "as Frank would say" ... ignore ..... the ..... pedestrian ..... beat!Unless of course we're talking jazz and then this logic is reversed. You dance to the fills. : I
HAHAHA never seen that transcription before. After each second floom there is a bass drum squish though.To explain a drum fill, simply point out to the non-drummer one of the most familliar drum fills of all time...Phil Collins' "In the Air tonite"
FLOOM, FLOOM........FLOOM, FLOOM.........FLOOM, FLOOM.........FLOOM, FLOOM........... FLOOM! FLOOM!
You're correct TF, but the non-drummer wouldn't pick up on the squish parts!HAHAHA never seen that transcription before. After each second floom there is a bass drum squish though.
