My Favorite Drum Fill of 2026 (Inverted Doubles + Linear)

In today's drum lesson, I'll break down my favorite drum fill of the year... so far, lol. For tons of courses on fills just like this one, start your Free 7-Day Trial today at https://www.mikeslessons.com/ I call this fill a "well-balanced meal" because it is packed with four essential intermediate/advanced drumming concepts to grow your skills: Inverted Double Strokes, dynamic Hand-Foot Combinations, Linear Drumming Blocks between the tom, snare, and kick, and some simple singles to tie the phrase together. Quick Tip: Don't RUSH the process. I start by playing this as 16th notes at 60 BPM to internalize the pattern, but in reality, if I were learning this from scratch, I would likely start around 40 BPM. The Goal Tempo for this little biscuit is between 80 and 90 BPM. If you are an intermediate drummer looking to break out of a plateau, improve your linear fill vocabulary, and master advanced sticking combinations, this lesson is for you! ►Notation: https://gscribe.com/share/MaCa6ochZur... ►Visit Mikeslessons.com http://bit.ly/onlinedrumlessons ►Metronome App: https://apple.co/2xyz1mr Endorsements • Gretsch Drums • Meinl Cymbals • Evans Drum Heads • Vic Firth Sticks • DW Hardware • Audio-Technica Microphones • 64 Audio In-Ears #drumlessons #mikeslessons #drumlesson #drumfills #drumgrooves 0:00 Intro 0:26 Inverted Double Strokes 1:00 Linear Block 1 1:22 Linear Block 2 1:52 Final 4 2:52 Let's Try it Slow 3:40 32nd Note Linear Fill 4:55 Goal Tempo Sauce 5:20 Outro
