Blink-182 First Date Drum Tutorial (Intro Fill) - What's That Groove?

A tutorial on how to play the iconic drum intro to ‘First Date’ from Travis Barker.

In this lesson I breakdown in detail how to learn and play the opening 2 bar phrase to Blink’s ‘First Date’. This song is quick! But hopefully this tutorial will teach you how to break it down and play it step by step.
