We all know that Chad Smith is known for his powerful funk/rock grooves, creative fills and first-call body double skills for Will Ferrell. But for me, Chad's use and comfortability with triplet based feels sets him apart from most rock drummers. In this is latest installment of "ROCK FILLS THAT RULE", we're going to break down and learn a fill concept that is based primarily off a cool displaced quarter-note triplet groove from one of my all-time favorite Chad Smith drumming performances! Triplets have always felt less comfortable to me, but by exploring these "not-so-common" triplet variations have really helped me throughout the years feel more grounded and confident when playing these types of feels. Let me know if this lesson helps you understand and grow your triplet vocabulary! Challenge yourself to see what variations you can come up with! Don't settle. Don't compromise. Decide what kind of drummer you want to be and develop the Discipline to become that! https://www.drumdisciplineacademy.com Gear: TAMA Bubinga Starclassic Drums: 10×8 Rack Tom 12×9 Rack Tom 14×12 Floor Tom 16×14 Floor Tom 22×18 Bass Drum 14×7 Tama Copper Starphonic SABIAN Cymbals: 14” HHX Stage Hats 16” HHX Evolution Ozone Crash 18” AAXplosion Crash 12” Holy China/12" Aero Splash 17” Vault Saturation Crash 14” ArtisanHats 21” AAX Freq Ride 14” AAX Studio Crash Stacked with 12” AAX Mini China 20” AAX Aero Crash EVANS Drumheads: G2 Tom Batter G1-Tom Resonant HD Dry-Snare Batter Hazy 300-Snare Resonant G2-Bass Batter VATER Drumsticks: Power House TAMA Hardware: Road Pro Cym/Snare Stands Iron Cobra Power Guide Double Pedal Iron Cobra HiHat Stand 1st Chair Round Rider XL
