Drum fill from "Livin' on the Edge" by Aerosmith

“

- The next fill that we're gonna learn is one that Joey Kramer plays on Livin' on the Edge, and it transitions one part of the song into the next, and it goes like this. One, two, one, two, three, four. (drumming) Now, to play this fill, we're gonna start off by just connecting all the notes, okay. We're not gonna leave that little broken up thing he does on the snare, and we're gonna come back to that in a little bit, but first, let's just play three-e and-a four-e and-a on the snare and the high tom. Goes like this. One, two, one, two, three, four. (drumming) So, now, we're gonna take that beat that we just played, that fill that we just played and, we're gonna remove the and-a beat three from the snare drum so it becomes broken up. And this is how it sounds. One, two, one, two, three, four. (drumming) Now, this is what it sounds like in context of the song. One, two, one, two, three, four. (drumming)
