"Fill two is in the song "cut and run." Again, this fi ll (or riff) expands off a unison groove. I think drum fi lls sound better
when they're supported by the other guys in the band." ­ Jeff
"Cut and Run"
(1:35)
This beat is taken from the song "Static and Satellites". It's the verse beat immediately after the intro. I like the stylistic
turn around, as Jeff places a double stroke (diddle or drag) at the end and again at the beginning of the next cycle.

I've been a fan of Merit and Jeff Nelson for years. Maybe I can talk Jeff into fi lming a drum tutorial for those of you who
do not know how to read music. Send me an email if you think that's a good idea: Kevin@toolanddiezine.com
Jeff is the one on the right.
