Buzz roll?

[TheRenamonLove]

I learned this by accident. . .

[gkc25]

These videos are more simple and precise instead of those videos spending 10 minutes talking about it

[Trele17]

I can actually do this one :)

[DrumTrimmings88]

Very useful if you work on a cruise liner and need to create some suspense before the raffle winners are revealed.

[malebitch92]

my teacher told me learning this roll is like wasting time...

[JustAnotherDrummerJG]

@malebitch92 Your teachers a dumbass. Just pointing that out, no need to explain why cause it's so obvious.

[malebitch92]

@JustAnotherDrummerJG no reason to get impolite...

[DaKingDestroysZombie]

@malebitch92 Despite what you may think, this roll is very useful, and is used in many rudiments and cadences. this person did not do a very good job at it though; he had even strokes, but bad sound control. every hit was a different volume, and he tended to buzz.

[nickcheapp]

@malebitch92 they do sound cool though but i agree they do not seem practical

[xUMR]

sounds like jaws theme

[rian009]

lol after the beat. "yeah, im the man"

[scaxxomaxx]

hmm,it looks like that's not the best rudiment that you can apply to feet lol

[webrouzer]

Well it is called a "Multiple Bounce Roll" and it has been known as a "Buzz Roll" it has also been called a "Press Roll""

[Ravenlikestodrum]

its called a buzz roll

[bradthebassdrumkicka]

yuck, hate this rudiment

[askylitdrive31]

@bradthebassdrumkicka ahaha y?

[sewerdevil12]

I can never apply this to drums as well as I can practice pads

[Keepitmetal128]

this and single stroke.. are probably the only rudiments i can do okay with that this guy has posted hahaha... i better do work

[MyFace43]

I was told 9 years ago that this was called both a buzzroll and a multiple bounce roll. One of the rudiments I'm not great at, but I love it for jazz drums!

[MetallicaDependent]

what sticks are those?

[dinayda1]

You Rock...

[helloffire43]

yep buzz

[ITLT1]

I play DRUMS...  Not snare drum

This is helping LOTS

[finneykris]

im learning this the buddy rich way with one hand (not using the cheating by using the rim) and its the only thing ive found hard, everything elce i picked up quite quickly

[drumdawg58]

buzz roll/press roll.

[MasterMalovic]

I've been playing drums for two years now...and the only thing I still can't do is this accursed multiple bounce roll...I'm still practicing it and this vid helped a lot,but damn it's hard(at least for me,who hasn't got much talent,nor practices a lot)...

[flipper7001]

nice vid!!!

I bought a drum rudiment poster and dvd at

DrumRudimentPoster.comx-minus the x :) it rocks!!!

[Mileswantsabillion]

Holy shit. This is crazy!

I do have one question though, could you make another video better showing how you do this? Like... wrist techniques, where you hold the stick, how you hold the stick, etc. That would really help.

Thanks, and all your videos rock!

[Seifter16]

You do it by holding just behind the fulcrum of the stick (just behind where it's balanced), don't hold it tightly, and then just do a normal stroke, but as opposed to lift your arm back up for another stroke, you leave your arm where it stopped at the bottom of the stroke motion and let the stick bounce. How much it bounces depends on the head of the drum you are hitting, how tightly you hold the stick, the weight of the stick, and how hard the stroke was.

[paradisemiles232]

@Mileswantsabillion hey all you have to do is hold the stick regular and when u hit let the stick vibrate u have TO PUSH DOWN SLIGHTLY

[trentiepoo]

buzz roll.

[TravisBarker182]

what kind of practice pad is that?

[MrZamoor]

it's a VIC FIRTH (slimpad)

[sumthinlike]

@MrZamoor yea,i def need on of those

[MrZamoor]

it's a vicfirth SLIMPAD

[cph42594]

press roll?

[underprog]

buzz roll

[Roberto6777]

want kind of surface do i need to do paradiddles and all this kind of practices? i would appreciate any kind of suggestion =)

[troybetz]

Anything, a pad or a pillow. If you use a pillow you'll build your chops up at leas.t

[AwesomeVed]

can someone offer me advice?

i want to start learning snare drum because i want to join my high school's marching band next year

if i learn how to read music and sightread and learn these rudiments will i be ready for a marching band

[cenafan1920]

learning to read sheet music can help you practice, memorize, and play what your playing better. As with any instrument. but if you can learn all the (i don't remember the #) 64 or so rudiments, you will be set for life. Because rudiments are the bases of all playing

[THEUNHINGEDSANITY]

Yeah man definately, but there's more to learning the rudiments when joining band. Marching is essential as well! Then keeping count with your feet starting with the left. Hopes this helps

[EatTheWeetabix]

no you wouldnt it takes about half a year unless u work hard so if u want to join a pipe band u have to get all equipment (practice pad sticks ect) and start to understand music

[MJPOAS]

yes

[LeeBee091]

i cant be asked to learn all of the drum rudiments, im jus gonna learn the one's i think would be best to learn in my opinion :)

[tjoef1992]

Ow yes, now I understand how to do this.... o_0

[goatman1121]

i do my rolls with only two bounces each hand so it sounds like ma ma da da ma ma da da and it sounds alright

[munoxxx]

what kind of drum sticks are those?

[XylussN]

I think the term "buzz" roll gives a misconception as to what the roll should sound like.. anyways. i love those dc-10s i just got some this past saturday. i think i like them more then my vic firth marching sticks. awesome that you are using them too.

[CALUCATCEPS]

your left hand looks a bit tight there

[zernestro]

it's true

[jaypeddie]

as someone who doesn't know anything about drumming, that one sounds cool

[leroyfj]

lol @ npsnaredrummer everytime i watch this video i'll think of that comment

[LoveRider5689]

wow both hands should been even your left hand comes up to high keep your buzzez tighter

[xXcarsonXx93]

this is not a rudiment. this is just my opinion. in reality there is only 26 rudiments. doing a single stroke roll is not a rudiment. imop

[RoC1909]

Actually, it started as 13 rudiments. Then went to 26 which became the "Standard American Drum Rudiments." Then the Percussive Arts Society renamed some of the originals but what they are known for is adding 14 MORE rudiments that came from other countries. Depending on who you talk to, there could be 26 or 40 rudiments.

[XylussN]

in reality there are an infinite number of rudiments when you get into combining rudiments. i'll hesitate about saying that an orchestral roll is a rudiment. but a single stroke is. you have single stroke 5's 6's single stroke sixtuplets etc. you know. the vic firth web site has a section on rudiments that gives you exercises and audio. i recommend it for everyone.

[alexveno]

multiple bounce stroke? you mean buzz...

[NaturesGlory]

Yeah, it did buzz a bit...

[DoblyTufnell]

That's because it's called a Buzz Roll.

I'd add that you should not do rudiments on such a bouncy practice pad. You learn much better stick control and build stronger hands using one with less bounce.

My one has a 10" skin over foam. Feels a bit like a real drum. ie: not that much 'bounce'.

With the exception of these 'buzz' type rudiments, try your rudiments on a mattress or pillow.

[NaturesGlory]

Thanks for the tip, I'll keep it archived.

[EmEeArCee]

As unclean as the execution was, it's a buzz roll. He didn't even attempt to go back to the original tempo like his other clips. Thumbs up or down, this is the turth.

[npsnaredrummer]

whats the matter the poor baby can't come back down? boohoo

[leroyfj]

lol don't make me cry

[mateolois]

were same drumstick

[HappyRedDemonSkater]

Sounds like a door stopper.

[XxXgearsofwarXxXRE]

isn't that buzz roll? lol

[owaaaa984]

same thing

[sasukeuchiha9724]

lol funny little sound waves r funny

[warp525]

Usually while playing drums you don't really control your drumsticks. When they hit the bad, you make the bounce. But to do this, you have to take control of them, or else your Multiple Bounce Roll gets slower and your sticks get higher.

[warp525]

It's hard to do it without having it bounce up a whole lot, but that sounds really cool once you get it going. I can barely do it, lol.

[midinerd]

apply more tension in your fingers, there's ways to slow it down and speed it up in one stroke/bounce. slowing it down makes it sound like several single strokes

[hi33sk8333]

haha in band, that how i roll..

[panasonicOMEN]

What kind of pad is that?

[EPhontanilla]

It started getting weak after a few seconds, still, good job.

[coolness1597]

mine doesnt sound like that at all...

[UFCurAzz]

essentially its a buzz roll

[tbssen]

Is that an electric practice pad?

[iluvhorsetheband]

easy

[xSabiaNx]

Its a buzz roll, but officially in the rudiment book it is called the multiple bounce roll.

[ParnvoL]

i got my snare drum and im gonna go through all these rudiment videos tommorow.

[CAFanTom]

Yes. For all us knowledgeable drummers, this is the buzz roll.

[drummerkidmashy]

no its not...

[CAFanTom]

Yeah it is. And if it is not the buzz roll, then what is the buzz roll?

[drummerkidmashy]

its a double or multiple stroke roll, thats the real name, some call it the buzz roll tho...

[CAFanTom]

So it is the buzz roll then. Why did you say "no its not...?" And its not the double stroke roll because that has two bounces on each hand.

[Zacmar88]

i always called it a press roll lol, but ive heard buzz roll before.

[fcernig33]

that's the buzz or press roll

[burningskulls77]

thats a buzz roll

[Mellipellivermecelli]

Yeaah ! i can do this one

[reditreefrog]

I tune my snare using a tympanic pressure gauge. It recommends 85 degree pressure and even at this the snares rebound seems a little soft. Ant suggestions on a remedy. I've used two different white frosted brands, Remo and Evans single ply. I have a 8X12.5 snare. I like the lower sounds from it without sounding like a piccolo.

[scotty75243]

wow

[MyChoiceZildjian]

well for one I recommend using the remo heads. in my experiences they take the higher tension better than evans heads. and for two tune your drums by ear. the drum gauges are good for tympani when you need the drums perfectly in tune with one another but for a snare tuning by ear will get a better result. tune with your ears and not what a pressure gauge recommends.

[reditreefrog]

I started using a gauge a little over a year ago because it's easy to use and it gives every drum the exact scale up or down sound. It was a noticeable improvement but the snare still seems a little spongy after tuning it to the specifications without having it sound like a piccolo. I am currently using signature series Vinnie Paul snare, Remo heads on the snare...The rest of my drums (toms/floor & d-bass) I use aqurian2...

I prefer either Evans or Remo frosted heads on the snare.

[mamasung]

i agree with drumperson1

[drumperson1]

thats not a multi bounce roll thats a buzz roll. and it wasnt very good lol.

[ISteppedOnATurd]

Wow you're an idiot.

[drumperson1]

im an idiot? for knowing what a good buzz roll sounds like? it was galloping. everybody gives me thumbs down but what ever. tryed to help people out there understand this is a buzz roll and you arnt suposed to be able to hear when the sticks hit the pad. it is suposed to just sound like a constant buzz.

[masterlord15]

..peace evryone...

just help each other

[anarchydrummer311]

i just HATE how he moves the sticks away at the end it drives me insane

[bma852]

haha i know like hes a robot

[Barbosa123]

its what drum corps drummers do after they end a solo/part, it shows honor and respect to the instrument.

[Olav86]

you are absolutely rite!

[TrueSlayer]

it is a buzzroll

[Buttplugbetty]

ummm yah i agree with every1 its a buzzroll

[sourcecoderC]

@Buttplugbetty The old school name is buzz roll. But then some smug group of 'classy' professional drummers got together and decided to make the name sound more professional.

[michaelervine]

I would call that buzz rolls. Very tidy. Your beats quite even.

[dooly3002]

all the criticizers dont know shit about drums

[Sartor93]

You play with your arms... -.- N00b... You must play with your hands...

[tealcanzaretomaslang]

you need more practice man!!!!!!

[rayburn25]

hey man thanks for putting alot of the rudiments on youtube you are teaching me the stuff i don't know how to play for middle school band camp thank you u are saving my butt

[metabog]

how do you get it to bounce?

[ferrari934]

nicht auf das schlagfell draufschlagen sondern leicht den stick fallen lassen und dann mit dem aufprall der dann wieder zurück kommt wirbeln!!! ^^

[metabog]

What was the point of answering to my message if I don't understand what you're saying, ggaaah, i hate it when people do that. No, it doesen't have any perverted meaning and I'm not talking about a penis. I'm talking about the drumstick!

[KINGKAI41]

HAHA.

[TMNoob3]

what i do (in standard grip) is i bounce once, but then i bounce a gain, but with my index finger the only gripping on it, and let it go like a sea saw

i wish i can explain things good :?

[arjunymcphoonie]

makes sense to me

[drumperson1]

its called moller techniqe and its the basic for a double stroke roll. this is a buzz roll. not ment to be the loud RRLLRRLL its suposed to sound like a buzzing sound. used mainly on the edge of the head or for quite parts.

[jubinal]

ey webmaster drummer, stop criticizing man! i thot the buzz roll was decent. at least the guy is helping a lot of drummers!

[BillConover]

This is also called a "Buzz Roll". Great attack and technique like always. Thanks for the sample.

[bumkdkd]

Great job and thank you for these rudiments!

[frankspydrum]

thats the worse shit ever...

[webmasterdrummer]

Did mamma tell u to practice those rudiments hard today??????? Did She????!!!!! HMMMMM??????
