Tension and Release

Chad Wackerman demonstrates what all the great teachers on Drum Channel feel is so important, the concept of tension and release. For example, playing a straight-eighth or sixteenth-note fill in the context of a triplet bass shuffle to create a moment of tension to heighten the impact of the music that will then resolve.
