Five fills to steal tonight

Each one is a real recipe you can build in the Fill Builder — the ingredient that makes it work is named.

The Stumble

RLKK linear sixteenths at 85 BPM — the kick doubles land where your hands expect to be, and the lurch is the hook. Built with the Linear voice strategy: no two hits in a row on the same drum.

Gospel Run

Paradiddle-diddle sticking with the Gospel accent shape — sextuplets that spill around the kit like a chops video. The accent shape does the phrasing for you.

Fives Over Four

Straight sixteenths with the Groups of 5 accent shape. The accent lands somewhere new every beat, so a one-bar fill sounds like four. Also comes in Groups of 3 and 7.

Down the Stairs

Alternating strokes with the Descend accent shape, accents routed high tom to floor tom. The oldest fill move there is, generated instead of hand-placed.

Crescendo Into One

Single strokes under the Crescendo accent shape — the whole bar swells into a crash on the downbeat. Slow it down and it works in a ballad; speed it up and it ends a set.
