'33334' Grouping Fill Ending With Four 32nd Notes

In this lesson you will be learning another sub-divided syncopated 16th grouping, again using the sixteenth note '33334' rhythm as a basis. Many similar patterns have been covered in different forms and links to these have been included at the bottom of the page. For all fills on this page the last two notes of each block in the syncopated rhythm will be split into four 32nd with a single stroke being maintained through the full bar.

We'll start with the syncopated rhythm just played on the snare. On the left this is shown with no subdivision then on the right the 32nds are added in.

The base rhythm for the fill

The remainder of this page will be common orchestrations of this rhythm so before progressing make sure you can play the part shown above comfortably. In each example fill the rhythm is moved around the snare in toms in various movements. For the last block of four various different 32nd decorations have been included.
