This week I’ve chosen 6 of 1 thing by Craig David. Now I know this isn’t exactly a hard core track for drums, but it’s actually a great play! It’s full of energy and has plenty of opportunity to try out some flashy stuff!
If you’re at the stage where you use sextuplet fills then here is a great place to try some. It’s also a good track to work on your ghost note snare drums within the groove if you play that kinda thing.

Here’s the breakdown:

Section    No. of bars

Intro     1 (ish!) fill “+a4e+a”

Chorus     8

1st Verse    8

2nd Verse   8

Bridge     8

Chorus     8

3rd Verse   8

Bridge     8

Chorus     8

Mid section    16

Chorus     8

Chorus     8

Chorus  8 (end “1 +” with a flam on the snare on the “1” and bass/crash on the “+” of the 8th bar.) 

Try and make the verses real tight, bridges build a little, chorus flashy and the mid section chilled.
