Don&#8217;t play it in a ballad at church on the weekend!<\/p>\n<p>Watch the video to see exactly how to pull off this &#8216;illegal&#8217; drum fill. It&#8217;s easier than it looks. You get an illusion that your sticks are just floating over the drums, but they aren&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to learn an extended or technical fill is to start at a tempo where you&#8217;re comfortable. Whether that&#8217;s 80 bpm, 60 bpm or less, start there and build up. This can help you practice movement around the kit, so give it a shot.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/28115033\/223136-resource-1554975922.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get the sheet music here!<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Want to earn some free Drumeo swag?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We want to see videos of you playing this fill on Instagram!
