The last time Pat came out to our studio, he taught a lesson on grooving responsibly and filling creatively (watch here). This time around he discussed “Exercises For Great Hands And Fills”!

Pat Petrillo is a regular Drumeo satellite instructor who joined our roster this past January and quickly became a student favourite. He is known for his deep sense of groove, uncanny technical ability, and versatility to cover any musical situation – as evidenced by his performances with Patti LaBelle, Gloria Gaynor, Constantine Maroulis, and Debbie Gibson.

One more thing! Be sure to watch the lesson for a VERY special announcement. We recently teamed up with Pat himself to create a new tool that’s going to change the way you practice. The video has all of the details!
