fck i learned this rudiment backwards.........O.o

[Percussionfish]

@SuperHighJorge cant be, maybe u just sarted with the left hand, you cant go wrong if u just count

[benjewboynett]

haha i like the pro mark sticks wit the vic firth pad

[lew4drums91]

he's accenting the final stroke to make it easier for us to tell where it starts and ends, pretty nifty! lol

[paulisin]

do you always end the roll with an accent

[fallingfromjupiter]

nah

[Pitchaxistheorem]

He ends it with an accent to emphasize the final stroke. If you were playing your own rolls it depends on you when you want an accent or not.

[Zefosi]

Anyone know the point of all these # stroke rolls? Out of the 40 "essential" rudiments, 7 of them are just double stroke rolls getting longer.

[Pitchaxistheorem]

makes it easier for more complicated drum rolls especially when you switch from snare to tom or tom to cymbals or whatnot.

[blondiebabae]

Plus, you really have to count the stroke and know when to stop, which takes control. I was kind of thinking the same thing, but each one has a sound and requires a good attention to technique.

[skwinkle79]

these rudiment is easy once you dominate the double stroke rudiment. He's just adding more beats. if you practice single and double strokes you will get so used to it that you won't have to count, you just know when to stop. I am sure he is not counting.

[yuckyteeth]

@blondiebabae i count that i have to double it 7 times and do 1 final tap with my left hand, so 8 hand movements in all.

anyone have any GOOD advice on how to make your doubles sound even?

[Greno]

@Zefosi

to improve getting use to different stopping points i guess, but really i think they shouldn't of made so many of the same rudiments. same with the double and triple version of the ratamacue's, kind of point less, it should be put in as the same rudiments number if you ask me for all the long versions of any rudiment and not have its own dedicated rudiment number

[wupchuwawawo]

@Zefosi practice practice pratice! it doesnt make sense until you start using them in your fills, but it's all relative & relevant ;)

[nostalgiacreep]

@Zefosi the different lengths of rolls offer different applications on the kit. being familiar with each one individually means you can get more use out of the basic principle of combinations of single and double strokes. say for example you have a rudiment beginning with a single on the right hand, followed by a double on the left - this means you can easily move the right hand around the toms for example, as it has two "strokes" to get back to the snare. or whatever.
