Course: Country Drums

The Drum Fill

A fill is a rhythmical variation from a particular pattern. Any kit part or combination of kit parts may be used. Drum fills are used to "color" sections of a song and are particularly useful as an indicator of coming changes (e.g., verse to chorus).

This example contains a simple single stroke fill between snare drum and small tom tom.
