[Dubstepmeliek]

Novice village strikes again im sad that this guy is trying to represent a percussionist

[TheActualRizzyy]

His up position is taller than me... :DDDD

[brandonbear1]

Umm.. Those are triple stroke rolls. :/

[zombiesrcuming4u]

@brandonbear1 ...also known as french rolls.

[brandonbear1]

@zombiesrcuming4u I have never seen a rudiment sheet ANYWHERE, that has triple strokes written as french rolls.

[zombiesrcuming4u]

@brandonbear1 Oh. I was talking about what he was actually doing. I haven't taken music theory yet.

[brandonbear1]

@zombiesrcuming4u Still he's doing the triple stroke rudiment. I have yet to see a rudiment sheet that has triple strokes as french rolls.

[TongueFu100]

this dude looks gay



[FisherP01]

[wanni00]

HIS SNARE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Keelan911]

@wanni00 It's called a marching snare.

[VMFA115Starloric]

@Keelan911

It has snare guts

It's a snare

[Keelan911]

@VMFA115Starloric duh I know. its a marching snare. yes its a snare, but it is a MARCHING snare.

[VMFA115Starloric]

@Keelan911

It's a snare. Yes, it's a marching snare, but it's a snare. You're not gonna call it a marching snare every single time

[Keelan911]

@VMFA115Starloric I know but he was acting like he didnt know what a marching snare is and that it was some kind of amazing snare, so i said to him, its a marching snare.

[cdmouse9]

The "up" position? Use arm?! Wtf

[phantomarsh]

@cdmouse9 those things do exist. but im not saying this guy is good haha

[snarejunky92]

where do they find these idiots?

[RIPburstRIP]

its kind of funny that he says "your really gonna wanna find a drill that can help you develop your triplet beat"

If you are such an expert, why dont you show us an exercise?

[najtrows]

hehe :D you got him there! :D

[iplaydatsnurdrum]

heres the deal. bluedev791 is correct. a more accurate name would be the triple stroke roll. i personally have never heard it called a french roll nor do i really care. WHAT IT IS NOT is a triplet roll. To say it was a triplet roll you would have to know the tempo to decide whether he is playing 3 beats in the space of 2. Just like it is easy to say its a triplet roll, someone else could say its sixlets. It could be a variety of different tuplets or notes. it all has to relate to the tempo tho

[outlawedman]

its not called a french roll its a triplet roll

[FragileBandSweden]

theres many names

[BlueDev791]

It could be called a triplet roll....

The name that makes the most sense here would be a triple stroke roll. "french roll" is a slang term which is accepted by many rudimental drummers. Usually a triplet roll is played as a double stroke roll with a triplet base. Hope I helped.

[IwishIcouldFC]

nope a triplet is a 4stroke with an extra tap at the end

[PearlPlayer26]

That waz sweet
