Double Stroke Roll Triplets - Drum Lessons

[GregJamesArden]

Hey Jared, could you please provide the sheet music link? I cannot see this? In particular the orchestration around the kit of the 16th note triplet doubles...Thanks

[BlowItLikeTroutMan]

or you can just call it an open roll

[Godservant15]

Really random question, but what is the sticking on 3:48-3:50??, it seems to have a spice that im trying to learn while playing..

[GregJamesArden]

Hi Jared, l'm having difficulty finding the sheet music for the double stroke roll triplets video?

[Igor2242]

Dude... Which hihats are you using?

[tony432432]

Hi, sorry for asking the obvious, but I just want to make sure. So is this RLL LRR RLL LRR.....and so on?

[enriquez1987]

@tony432432 No. It is: RR LL RR LL... and so on.

[LionRock08]

nice thanks J

[DrHowlingMad]

your toms sound insanly awesome!!!!!

[HarnessDavid]

@DrHowlingMad Well it's a DW, so it will definitely sound awesome

[DrHowlingMad]

@HarnessDavid hehe,agreed,but it aint no match for my pearl target hahahaha

[sultani202]

Jared, I got to say, you are by far, one of the best drummers I have ever seen. Your technique is brilliant. And your attitude and personality are really great. You never fail to provide good quality tips and tricks that help other drummers around the world. Bless ya man

[groovestarguru]

jared how do you get your toms so low?? great video btw great help man :)

[itrptr]

tasty!

[jesi25pajarillo]

"sometimes I don't understand myself" LOL

[agamarkub]

nice sound of cymbals what's that?

[lisakenpachi89]

Triplet is very powerful n this vid very usefull..good job indeed

[Hawkitomi]

Hey Jared, how do you fix your two toms that flat on your bass drum ? Do you use special holders or something ? Thanks ! (Excuse for the english)

[arturo7023]

Man this video is awesome. I am a decent drummer but have learned everything on my own. I am wanting to start learning how to properly do fill like the last part of this video, problem is I have single stroke speed but not and can somewhat make it sound similar but just not the clean (proper technic) sound...

[jamirosmajicrocks]

its funny because i have seen this video multiple times and one for regular triplets, at first i didnt understand why it was so hard, but after a short coinsedince i just played it .

[Blizzardkillstorm]

this is a very nice set there!

[BROOKIENYCOLEx3]

what song is this from?

[MisOutFor]

MAN THOSE TOMS SOUND AMAZING i can tell they're by Evans but which ones? PLEASE TELL ME THANX

[AncientMonkey7]

is it bad that i use a lot of double stroke when i play? 

[chungiemunchin]

I don't know Jared personally but he comes across on video as a guy who has such the right attitude about drumming and the drumming community. To do what he does, one has to be able to withstand stupid criticisms which may or may not hold water. By stepping out and up to share something that helped him, he perpetuates the brotherhood of drummers and hopefully inspires others not to hold their knowledge so close to their vests.

[joel844]

how long do you think you should practice this a day?

[Blizzardkillstorm]

@joel844 30 min-hour

[Lucchesiv8]

the great thing about this guy is that he's always working on what he's teching but does it perfectly haha!

[83DrumProdigy]

wow those workshops sound amazing ....those toms sound soooooooooooo sweet

[frenchxtoastx87]

quick everyone press 1911!!!

[nuggz503]

i've been watching your youtube vids for almost a year now. Just wanted to say THANKS for all the great stuff you cram into our heads. Really excellent lessons you have. Keep up the wonderful work. To the untrained ear I actually sound like I know what I'm doing now on a kit.

All the best!!

[nigelregan]

thanks Jared, I purchased your rock drumming system 6 months ago and find it invaluable, and along with your videos here I am very grateful for your efforts in teaching others, you certainly make a big difference to my adult learning curve (I'm 48!) thanks again keep up the good work

[TheSkylie]

Those double stroke fills are very nice. Oddly, what I really admired was the great hi-hat playing you were doing near the end of the video in the grooves. Very nice job, man. Great teaching.

[chickenbeforeegg]

Dude you're a freakin BEAST

[freewarthebest]

How do i get my hands to hit that fast?

[Jellymann]

@freewarthebest loosen up... you will gonna hit the snare once but you're stick will hit twice.

[butcherfest]

That kit sounds g...g...g...godlike!

[Battossai3000]

this is so awesome man! love the last fills ...now I want to try this out too...but my hands arent as calm as yours i tend to use more wrists and the power of rebound (lol) than finger technique (cause my left hand refuses to learn how to play the stick with its fingers (bummer))

[vandal357]

that kit sounds awesome! great vid

[TheEzkatons]

this video was really helpful. Thanks a lot!!

[nanduz5]

Dude! Thank you so much for those tips! Everytime I see your videos I get more and more impressed!

[platapothamus]

WHat Hihats are thoses?



[venomdrummer]

thanks man!!!!!...god bless you!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iglb23]

what drum kit is that one??

[GeorgeZackman]

i love you, no homo

[patsfannumero1]

The 2 people who disliked this must hate Nick Swardson, Nick Swardson's awesome brand of comedy, and Nick Swardson's excellent drumming...how can anyone dislike this????? Nick is awesome!!!

[sumeshprabhune12]

A basic question: @all: Does a fast double stroke roll involve bouncing of the stick after the 1st strike or is it really fast finger/wrist work??..

[DubstepBeatBoyz]

3:58 how the hell do you do that awesome accenting on the hi hat, I've been trying to do stuff like that for ages! Could you make a video on it perhaps? Love your videos by the way! I'm an ok drummer, but taught myself, so have no technique (paradiddles and stuff) and your vids have really helped! : )

[MaxlikesWeiners]

What kind of kit do you use? Sounds great

[188metalhead881]

Jared you look like Nick Swardson and talk like John Heder. =)

[theinck]

pedals shmedals. who cares about pedals. just get one that works.

[kilianyta]

i love your drum´s sound

[bankanka]

you are a great drummer and a cool dude, love your free lessons! thanks!

[gungdedrummer]

very good for helping me to be a good drummer

[x0MoTioN0x]

Hey Jared...

What line are your crashes? I know they're Paistes, but like 2002's or what? I really dig the sound, and want to look into getting them if I can find out what they are. Thanks in advance for any help, and keep up the awesome vids.

[aldoinsomnia]

WOW Very Nice lesson !! THX ALOOT!!!

[TimoPlaysDrums]

thank you for this :-) timo

[jottoho]

Thanks Jared :)

[jottoho]

Thanks Jared :)

[12NoRmAl12N]

i just wanna know

is (DIXON) a gd drums company

and i have 400$ what are the best cymbals i can buy ????

PLZ ANSWER THIS

[pwnmaster9]

Not only do you explain it simply, but make it look so east to :)

[snakespence]

First off, I've watched so many of your videos and I REALLY respect what you do, Jared. Drum tips for free?! You wouldn't get that anywhere! The very few drums lessons I DID get were so expensive.

After watching the Linear Drum fill, I see you were using a pedal (Not sure what make) that had a Direct Drive instead of a chain, if I'm correct? Or something similar to that? What are your views on Direct Drive over Chain/Double Chain? Just looked into Axis Pedals...SOO expensive... Thanks man!! :)

[freedrumlessons]

@snakespence The pedals I'm using are Gibraltar Intruder Direct Drive pedals. By far the most affordable direct drive pedal on the market. Also, check out the direct drive Yamaha Flying Dragons...those are really nice as well.

Glad you like the drum lessons! Keep practicing!

[mudkip82]

@freedrumlessons Jared what about speed cobras??

[1985juls]

wwell done



[securitysystem]

Good vid, but I find your demonstration of a double stroke roll at 0:26 very misleading. The clue is to open/close the hand on first and second stroke to use the rebound for the second stroke. One should never play out of the wrist like you do in 0:26, but out of the fingers.

[freedrumlessons]

@securitysystem Glad you like the vid..however, I completely disagree with you. Drummers can play out with the wrists if that's what they need to do to achieve the power and volume that they want. There aren't rules like that. There is not only one way to hold the sticks, there is not only one way to play a single stroke roll, and there is not only one way to play a double stroke roll...there are thousands. Thanks for your constructive feedback though! All the best!

[securitysystem]

@freedrumlessons

You are actually right in what you say: "Whatever works best is right." But as I see in the vid, you also do not play the second stroke from the wrist, except for the very slow demo in the beginning.

The idea behind my post is keeping young kids from trying to make 2 strokes solely from the wrist and failing in gaining speed, wondering why. ;)

[freedrumlessons]

@securitysystem Ahhh....I see what you're saying. Thanks SO much for sharing man. Those are definitely some good words of wisdom. At a certain point, yes, you will have to bounce the second stroke.

[produccionesmiranejo]

@freedrumlessons

i agree with you, there is no standard creativity!

[DjScout]

WTF!!!! so sick!

[HitDatSnare]

What is wrong with completely bouncing the sticks?

[freedrumlessons]

@HitDatSnare nothing is wrong with that, you just get less rebound off the bigger drums like the mid tom or the floor tom. So you don't get as much volume out of the bouncing strokes as you would out of the wrist strokes.

That's why in these examples I mainly use wrists as I want to play on all the drums.

[Fangalicious1]

i really got to practice this because i am running out of drum ideas for fills thanks for the tips!

[Oceansandblue]

your execution from the drum fills into the crashes seem a bit too soon

[freedrumlessons]

@Oceansandblue thanks for the tip!

[Dkolps]

you are a great drummer

[Jurrockin]

Crash Cymbals!!!!!!!

Shit...which crash symbal are they?

They sound like heaven.

[securitysystem]

@Jurrockin

I'm sure those are Paiste Signature Line

[mattillakk]

Each and everything you guys post is informative, and just downright great! It's so good to see folks with the same passion for drumming that I have doing all they can to help folks learn! Thanks! Keep up the good work, guys! :D

[dinkyemg]

it sure keeps motivating me! thanks for showing me a new thing to practice on my kit and not get bored. I always love to watch your videos and appreaciate your great druming :)

[freedrumlessons]

@dinkyemg thanks man...I'm glad you're liking the lessons!

[88frappa88]

keep going ! great lesson ! you're the best on internet ! 

[BeechCustom74]

Great lesson dude. Can you explain how you are executing the double stroke roll please? Is it fingers, throw-pull, wrist or something else? Thanks :-)

[freedrumlessons]

@BeechCustom74 these are mostly wrists, with a small amount of fingers. Hopefully I'll get to do a video in the next couple weeks to explain more. In the meantime, this exercise can be played with your wrists at any tempo. Just start slow and you'll get it.

[ninjaman1777]

as a drummer i know when i need ideas or help the one place i go for answer is at Freedrumlessons!!! thanks guys!

[Amir0023]

It just sounds awesome.

[drummerdude580]

what kind of crash cymbal is that? and what kit are you using

[RSKJK]

are you bouncing them at the 30 sc note fill ?

[freedrumlessons]

@RSKJK a little bit, but it's mostly wrists

[Choille7]

totally awesome and essential lesson. Opens many new ways of playing. THANKS!

[xthexemoxmuffinx]

love the cymbals and great work mic'ing and eq'ing the drums! haha youtube should add a "love" button because this excersize is my favorite one you have posted so far!

[namelessH3R0]

and another great lesson :)

but i have a question: where can i buy a casey drumset? is it only possible in the us, or are there some traders in germany, too?

[freedrumlessons]

@namelessH3R0 check out the DrummerStore website...

[namelessH3R0]

@freedrumlessons so it's possible for them to ship from canada to germany??

[freedrumlessons]

@namelessH3R0 it's possible but the cost would probably be too high. I'd recommend trying to find a kit locally. Check out customdrums dot de - I've played their kits before and they're awesome.

[namelessH3R0]

@freedrumlessons

thanks for the tip!! the page is awesome!!

[dorkytwo]

Nice lesson, thanks ;)

[skwzbxx69]

Don't forget to lead with the left hand! Teeheehee!

[BrettVano]

It has been a while since I watched you play Jared. Your sound and feel has gotten better!

[freedrumlessons]

@BrettVano thanks man...I'm always trying to improve any way I can.

[dreadss64]

arnt those somewhat like diddles?

[sachiperez]

Could also practice 32,32,16,16 or 32,16,32,16 etc. Sick.

[bobertochuck]

thank you this ewillhelp me with some songs at my school music drum concert

[bobertochuck]

thank you that really helped me with some songs at my school music drum concert

[nanirio]

deadly! i try it asap! thanx!!

[JBLHPJ]

thats so simple but so effective. i love it!

[Miskonzin]

How to develop speed in double stroke rolls? Especially - how to make left hand (my weaker hand) faster?

[jacov09]

@Miskonzin practicing, i recomend you some videos from Mike Johnston

[Paiste013]

Wow, that was sooo good! o.O

[spikeman23]

I  can't read music and have no understanding of notes lol. So i basically hear, Blah bla h blah, Double stroke roll.

[JackandMatty]

Heh, I was expecting a mention of the whole double stroke technique; the use of the fingers to get the speed you want over use of the wrist. Some poor guy is gonna watch this, see those 32nd notes, and break their wrists trying to get that fast!

[freedrumlessons]

@JackandMatty not in this lesson as it's not about developing double stroke roll speed. Perhaps I can talk about that in another lesson :) Anyone can this, regardless of how fast you can play the exercise.

[AmbitiousMOnkey1100]

@freedrumlessons those paiste's look so great, what sizes??

[freedrumlessons]

@AmbitiousMOnkey1100 thanks man. The crashes are 16, 17, 18, and 19. Then I got 15" hi-hats and a 21" ride.

[BandaDK]

@freedrumlessons

What paiste series are those?

[freedrumlessons]

@BandaDK the 16, 17, 18 crashes & 21 ride are the Full series...the hihats and 19 crash are the Dark Energy series...

[BandaDK]

@freedrumlessons

Alright thanks :)

[evdinga]

@freedrumlessons a lesson about using fingers to attain the speed necessary to achieve the 32nd notes would be awesome. my double strokes could really use some help in that area as my finger technique isn't all that good

[freedrumlessons]

@evdinga Good idea, I added it to my list.

[WillEyeAmz]

@JackandMatty my wrists are broken. it hurt to type that. and that.

[jordapro]

Jared Falk is kick ass

[Patrickdrums6732]

@freedrumlessons what type of dw kit is that? And about how much did it cost?

[x2xdrummer4life]

@Patrickdrums6732 It's not a DW. It's a Casey custom kit.

[LaughingOutKraut]

@x2xdrummer4life Nope, it actually is a dw kit. It belongs to Jared (he talked about it in some older videos). Casey drums don't have the round lugs. I wonder what happened to that Casey kit they had though.

[cnor005]

that was so sick 

[paulrox177]

nice, are you still doing the LIVE lessons

[MattShankDrummer]

@paulrox177

The current live lessons are for drumming system and drum fill system users only. For the free live lessons, there will be an announcement in general drumming section on freedrumlessons. com/drum-forums. 

[Niick14]

Nice, but I call this "Papa Mama"

[cherkassky92]

@Niick14 me too^^

[Jaydog7507]
