Making your improvisation more exciting with fills is all about relaxing and enjoying yourself. Here’s how I like to do it:
Create Your Own Vocabulary: Start making a list of fills that you really like. Practice them slowly at first, then get faster until they feel easy to play.
Use Repetitive Ideas: Take a fill you know and use it as a starting point. For example, play a simple fill with the snare drum and try different versions of it throughout your solo.
Listen and Learn: Check out the songs you love. Find fills that you think are cool and try to add similar sounds into your improvisation.
Be Present: Stay open to ideas! If a fill feels right in the moment, go with it. Trust your gut and let your imagination shine.
Most importantly, remember that it’s all about expressing yourself. So, have fun with it!
