Welcome to ultimate drumming calm. I'm Joe McCall. I'm going to show you this really cool sound and 12 eight Phil. person I'm going to play it for you. I'm going to break it down note by note and show you how it works 123123123123 When playing these great sounding 12 eight fills, you got to be thinking at 12 a time. The 12 eight times signature means you're playing 12 eighth notes in a measure.

And each eighth note is getting one count be like this 1-234-567-8910 11 Well, that counting all the way up to 12 can be a mouthful, especially when you get into the numbers that have more than one syllable. So a shortcut would be to count 1231231 123123 like so 123123123123 when playing this pattern, I gotta be thinking 16th notes and 12 eight time. Now remember, in 12, eight time, the eighth note is getting one count, which would be 1-234-567-8910 1112. Adding the 16th note would put an ad in between each number one and two and three and four and five and six and seven, eight and nine and 10 and 11 and 12. And the simple way to count it with all this stuff to say would be one and two and three and one and two and three and one and two and three and one and two and three again.

So here's what I'm playing. What and what am to adding the bass drum on the one of each group, you know, three, go like this, one and two and three and one and two and three and one, three and one and two and three. Now each grouping of three, I'm going to move to a different drum. So go like this, one and two and three and one and two and three and one and two and three and one and two and three. Now once you get comfortable with that speed, we're going to pick up the tempo a little bit A really great way to practice these would be to play two measures 12 eight two measures 12 812 eight Phil. Two measures 123123123123 There it is another excellent sounding 12 A Phil, you can add to your drumming repertoire.

I'm Joe McCall. Thanks for watching. I'll see you soon at ultimate drumming calm
