In this lesson you will be extending the ideas presented in our level 2 lesson for placing crashes on the 'a' and 1 counts. It would be well worth reviewing this lessons if you haven't already. For the fills on this page the crashes will be falling on the 'e', '+' and 'a' after beat 4 followed by the 1 at the start of the next bar. This now gives you four quick 16th notes in a row which you will be playing as a standard single stroke sticking. This is also an extention of our level 3 lesson following an '+ a 1' Movement.

Written below are several examples of this crash placement applied in various ways. This part works well as a little addition to the end of a bar of groove or as the end of a full on fill.
