Double bass flourish<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You might play this at the end of a thrash beat or use it instead of a tom fill. Roll on the snare, then move to 8th notes on the cymbals while you play 16ths on your feet.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/06204208\/Screen-Shot-2019-11-06-at-11.39.30-PM.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Sextuplet fill<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The phrase is RLRLFF. Experiment with it &#8211; try it between your snare and toms, adding splash accents, and whatever else you think would make it sound even more awesome.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/06204207\/Screen-Shot-2019-11-06-at-11.39.37-PM.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Hand to foot swap<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Start with 16th notes on your hands over 8th notes on your feet, then switch to 8th notes on hands and 16ths on feet. It&#8217;s a great note value exercise and credit goes to Thomas Lang for this one.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/06204207\/Screen-Shot-2019-11-06-at-11.39.48-PM.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h3><strong>4.
