Favorite drum fills

[Jay-Dee]

More Simon Phillips, I've posted a video of this last year from the studio session. Start at 01:20 and listen through to 02:00.

And now for something different, Simon Phillips. For those who haven't heard it, this song is littered with great fills but 00:30 and 04:12 stand out a little.

I love this.
The entire song is a drum fill

Derek Pellicci, Little River Band. Fantastic simple fills at 00:48, 01:50, 02:08, 02:36 and 02:54. A masterclass in playing for the song.

Please post a video link and tell the time of fill please …. @3:42

Yup. That double bass fill was epic.

 

[Jay-Dee]

Alex Van Halen at 01:13 and 01:58, everybody would know these.

Again at 00:40, 03:34 and 04:16.

Great fills throughout but 00:53 is a standout for me.

 

[Jay-Dee]

DFO's own Chris Whitten, the intro and at 01:02 after the break, kick arse fills. It says video unavailable but hit the watch on YouTube link.

This is a cool fill from Matt Cameron. One of my favorite songs too. The fill is at 2:39. Just a little off-sounding fill, signature Matt Cameron.

I was hoping someone would post that Matt Cameron fill. It's just the coolest off-tempo thing that ends with pure fire. It's one of my favorite fills ever, and made me a Matt Cameron fan.

Copeland's fill at 2:58 gets me every time...

Glad I posted it. I never ever talked about it with anyone. Glad there’s other people out there that think that fill and Matt Cameron are awesome.

At 1 minute in.. beautiful fill

The great Jim Gordon - I love this lead-in fill at 02:54:

 

[JimmyM]

Couldn’t figure out how to copy at the fill time, but it’s at 3:15 that Brain does this stupid long fill, but first slops an easy fill ever so slightly. If I were Les, I’d have kept it, too.

Alex Van Halen at 01:13 and 01:58, everybody would know these.

Again at 00:40, 03:34 and 04:16.

Great fills throughout but 00:53 is a standout for me.

Alex Van Halen is a underrated filler, that's for sure!

Four fills from ELP's Karn Evil Nine 3rd Impression. The fourth fill one stands out with the huge off-beat big Paiste cymbal choke. I was thrilled as a kid when it came out.
cued at 27:40 something

and live
cued at 7:04 something

One of the best of its kind.

This one always syuck with me...utter simplicity and perfect....2.47

 

[Pat A Flafla]

I love this.
The entire song is a drum fill

I'll take Tony's one step further.
My favorite drum fill is this entire record, which is a drum fill master class.
Mike really studied Neil and carried that flag.

The fill coming back in after the solo at 3:56... and yes his voice

I am most impressed by the split myself.

 

[dale w miller]

The most epic of all @3:55

That fill reminds me of Steve Smith’s here at 45 seconds in and the similar one at 1:26.
