13 drum kit groove and fill exercises for 13 weeks 2/13

If you would like some help with getting started so you can play grooves and fills like these on your drum kit/drum set then please check out the free excerpt from mine and Paul Hose's self instructional book Drumset for Beginners here http://feeds.feedburner.com/drumsetforbeginnersbyPaulhoseandJimFarey - just click on the Lesson 1 link. If you'd like a copy of the book then check out http://www.jimfarey.com/DS4B.htm.

As I'm going away on a cruise for 13 weeks, I'll be missing teaching my 10 year old nephew who has had a handful of lessons over the last few months. So, Josh, here are some things you might like to try and learn as you always seem to have "done it all" your parents tell me!

The first video is the movement of the bass drum through a groove with 8 hi-hats, each variation played twice. All of the other videos (except the out take of 6!) are in the format Groove A, Groove B, Groove A, Groove B, Groove A, Groove B, Groove A, Fill, repeat with crash "on the one", crash "on the one" to end.

These videos are rough and ready, filmed at VGA quality, 30 fps with 192 kbps sound on a Zoom Q3HD (low quality to enable fast uploads and mobile viewing amongst other things). If you would like to use the groove and fill ideas for practice then that would be cool, they're all beginner level grooves. You could post a video reply of yourself playing the grooves or your own ideas.
