Herta fills 2- 2 and 3 beat fill ideas

Here's some of the herta fill variations we looked at on sat guys. A pick ups using the herta rudiment we looked at. If you can't remeber how to play a herta look at the previous post.
  Good luck guys

Herta fills 1

Hey guys,
                Here's the fill we looked at on sat morning using the herta. It's four strokes (rlrl) but the first two strokes are twice as fast as the last two. The first line is just the sticking pattern so go nuts with it to get the feel of the rudiment under your hands play it round the kit and try playing the first two quick notes on a different sound ie a tom or the hi hat.
The second line is the basic rhythm we were following so count it out and get a feel for that.
The last line is the fill we finished off with. Replacing each group of three 16th notes with a herta. Take it easy and watch your sticking. On sat we learn't this fill in two halfs which might make it easier.
I'll try and a get a short video done of how to play it up asap.
Hoe to see you guys again soon
Pete
