A REALLY BIG DISCOVERY: HOW TO MAKE EXPLOSIVE FILLS

From time to time great discoveries are made.
I've read about some ways to make Fills more explosive, and have also tried these - but have never been completely satisfied with the result.

Quite by accident I discovered a way to do this that no one has talked about.
With just 2 keystrokes (with Pa5X) it is possible to make Fills as explosive as you want, and the effect is insanely formidable.

I got the idea to use Fills more effectively after watching a video with Marco Parisi, who is an absolutely outstanding performer (the best) of dynamic funk/jazz rock, and he uses Fills precisely to achieve the desired dynamics.

There are 2 drum elements that are essential to Fills, and that is the Tom (primarily) and the Cymbal.
These two are almost always used as Fills, and by giving them a boost with e.g. Stereo Limiter, a "Marco Parisi" effect is achieved.

This is extremely important to do correctly, because the Fills MUST be more powerful than the variations themselves; like an explosion between them.
