Did you drum to AC/DC's Back in Black yet? Real easy stuff for just playing/listening stuff. Now lets move on to Weezers blue album. Some trickier grooves and a few 'try-again-fills.' Spend a few weeks mastering this album.

Between My name is Jonas and Only in dreams, this will increase you drum beat, fill and dynamic range vocabulary.

thanks!
but i dont know how to execute a fill... i hear one, but i dont know what drums they are hitting...

This will last for years and years, it will last untill you know every single rudiment and generic fill there is. To me it always used to sound like they are playing alot more notes and using really weird rudiments. But it's actually way more simple than your brain tells you.

If you want to give me fills to check out, I'll tab them out here for you and tell you which hand plays what.

I would suggest going out and seeing some live music. Stay away from those wicked speedy guys. You might like to watch them and they might motivate you to go play but it'll be difficult to learn anything from a night of watching blasters and contest players. Go see some straight up rock bands, country or singery songwriter bands. Watch the drummers and listen. I'm willing to guess there will be a handful of fills repeated that you may be able to learn visually. Other wise, Metronome+Drum Book+teacher=Drum Fills.

You can almost guaruntee whatever fill you can't work out will be some form of single stroke roll, double stroke roll or paradiddle, or combination of them... Doesn't take too long to grasp but there will ALWAYS be fills you wont be able to see right off the bat

acdc!!!!! all the way. fun n easy
