@Dirtybirds1111

Glad you like the video. Been playing since 1983...I'm always going back to the basics, trying to improve my rolls and other Rudiments or improving my tempo or phrasing. Keep in touch!

Awesome man!

I've been playing for ~12 years and I'm still not that good at this, I'm a very good band drummer you know, but as I am self learned I discovered this just a couple of years ago. Thanks for the help! it'd really nice to play like you did.

George Dude:

Cool practice pad drumroll!Could you do them on a snare? I would like to hear tom rolls as i like the one heard on"Here's Lucy" years ago.Thanks for sharing! Brainy

[NicJamesT]

beasty, thanks

[danielwills93]

Hey, thanks for the vid! :-) Im a complete begginer and i would love to learn just snare rather than kit drums. Are there training of quiter (for the neighbours sake :P) snares for practice such as those in your vid, and also what sticks are best for a begginer? I dont know anything about drums so any help will be great ;-)

[Dreamnorn]

... i take lessons here XD

[rea1high]

Thanks for the vid. i have just done my first convincing drum roll.

i'll be watching your other vids later

[InnerBeatDrumSchool]

[sakibulhaque]

[InnerBeatDrumSchool]

Thanks so much. I am in the process of creating a bunch more. Stay tuned!!!

[ROISINEMO]

i hate doing it the traditional way...

[GuardiansAngell]

thank you this helps : )

[dannamanna99]

its like when you drop a ball. you drop the stick and let it bounce and drop again. like a ball when you drop a ball it hits the ground and bounces after it bounces 2 times then you grab it. with this i find it easy to put a little pressure with thumb and pointer finger. kinda like taking a ping pong ball and letting it bounce and then taking a ping pong paddle and putting it on top of the ball and lowering it. makes the ping pong ball bounce faster. same when you put a little pressure

[Yun1]

thanks a lot man, that was a very good lesson, i'll try it right now!!

[InnerBeatDrumSchool]

Thanks for watching! Glald it helped...

[btbamisawesome]

i watched this video about 12 times...and can't get the doubles down...i have my drum pad right now practicing...i just can't get them to bounce...i'm a good all around drummer except for the doubles...im real good at singles..but doubles would help..can you give me advice please?...im really getting frustrated with not being able to do these...i can do them slow but cant go fast at all...

[InnerBeatDrumSchool]

Thanks for watching

Start from scratch, take a week and do nothing but just dropping the stick on the drum and letting it bounce; it doesn't have to be in tempo or of a consistent roll base; you know that thing were you just let it bounce a million times...then the next week, just drop the stick but only let it rebound two or three times. Then the next week just get two rebounds, then the following week you should be ready to play the roll as normal...

Let me know if this works for you

[bulgaria5]

thx your vid helped alot

[InnerBeatDrumSchool]

You're welcome! Happy drumming!

[kas36spires]

okay check this out. these kind of things take muscle memory. if you continue to practice just like any other rudiment it will gradually be easier to get faster on it's own. just take it slow for now and you WILL get it faster, it just takes work.

nice one =]
