The audio is quite poor but if u listen u can hear it being executed, this video shows you how to play the one handed cymbal/tom hit fill that you may have seen him do in other videos. Its usually on his right side with his 2 right-side cymbals and his 3 floor toms, but this is just a simple way to get just about the same sound with the same dramatic one-handed effect. The sticking for just the fill is R,R,RF,LF. Whereas the first R is on ur right side cymbal, or any cymbal u may choose that is in close proximity with a drum, and the second R is on that drum. Then it is simply 2 bass hits which is easiest executed with a double bass pedal. You can see Dennis execute this, and much more with the same or similar sticking in this classic video of him: http://youtube.com/watch?v=PifCws-vSuc In the video i show how this is executed and how it can even be incorporated into a beat with a simple snare hit. Hope u enjoi!
