007-Inspired Drum Groove & Fill Challenge – Which Fill Wins?
Looking for a fun new drum groove to add to your practice routine? This week’s Groove & Fill Challenge takes inspiration from the exciting feel of classic spy movie soundtracks, featuring the same groove with two different drum fills.
Now it’s your turn to decide—which fill do you like better?

Two Fills, One Groove
One of the best ways to become a more creative drummer is to learn how to vary your fills while keeping the groove consistent. Instead of relying on the same ending every time, try experimenting with different combinations of toms, snare, cymbals, and accents to create a unique musical statement.
In this video, you’ll hear:
- A solid, driving groove.
- Fill #1 with one approach to ending the phrase.
- Fill #2 with a different musical idea.
- A chance to compare the two and decide which one fits the groove best.
There isn’t a right or wrong answer—it’s all about musical preference and developing your own style behind the drum set.
