Preparation
Fills
Fills are chunks of time used to spice up music so that it doesn't get to boring. They are sometimes fast, and use many different drums. This instructable is for the beginner, so I will only show 3 types of fills (one not mentioned in video)

Preparation
First you will learn "16th notes". Play a steady beat on the bass drum only. Play it about 1/4 the speed of a regular beat. You will notice that this is very slow. To play 16th notes, you will learn that each beat has 4 hits. So, keep time with the bass drum, then add the snare. This what a 16th note roll looks like:
Bass and snare (right hand)
Snare (left)
Snare (right)
Snare (left)
Bass and snare (right)
repeat.
This is a 16th note roll.
