This week's Drum Fill Friday features a selection of fills and beats handpicked by the liner-note legend, Bobbye Hall, who was recently featured on Morning Edition. In a career spanning more than 40 years, Hall has played, recorded and toured with everyone from The Funk Brothers and Marvin Gaye to Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks and Pink Floyd. She's a master of a remarkable range of sounds and styles, and for this week's puzzler she tells us all about some of the percussionists who've influenced and inspired her over the years, along with some of her favorite fills. Good luck, careful listeners!

As always, if you have a drummer or a fill you'd like to see featured in these weekly puzzlers, let us know in the comments section or via Twitter @allsongs, #drumfillfriday.
