Faster Double Stroke Rolls

[Drummerdude120]

I wish i knew What this guy was talking about you always use you 3 back fingers for power and the control the stick thein with the three fingers is TOTALY wrong......Maybe in britain but not on Drumming LOL pls dont listen what this guy is saying and look up DrumCore stuff you will not be very good and your rolls sound like a accent tap excersise LOL never take you fingers off the stick that much LOL sry guy im not hating im just correcting

[justinorrick]

this guy doesn't know what he's doing. he's teaching horrable techniques. he plays sloppy.

[DanLetts97]

Good old England, always birds chirping in the background!! When will we americans begin the great war on noise???

[19CACTUS51]

Moeller Whip……

[uwepetersen]

Very well explained and you are funny.

[pokeisthermz250rider]

puase 0.38 hahahahahahaha

[racer779]

wow.

[racer779]

thsis guy serioucly has no idea what hes talking about. wow, are people really listening him? haha

[SLPK360]

if you practice your rolls the way this guy is trying to teach you....your rolls will actually get WORSE...and your doing way too much extra work than you need to and can ultimately lead to damaging your wrists...

[bluey3152]

wow



[racer779]

this is compleete bull. dont listn to anything this guy is saying

[crimn]

booorrrring

[skydrumz]

nice lessons. I do drum covers of van halen, motley and others, check 'em

[ricmcmiliion]

go play your drum

[railfreek]

Who the hell plays like this? Flyback, snap, accent the snap? Just practice right right left left, and paradiddles and you'll be able to get 500+ BPM. PRACTICE PRACTICE, there's no tricks just practice. NICE TD9 kit though

[Wolverine51324]

Dave Weckl plays like this, for one

[saotome692]

Module looks like a TD-12 or TD-20 to me.

[1DrJoy]

@railfreek It's a TD-8 kit...

[monkeygames18]

@railfreek for a starter, you show me a video of you playing singles at 500+bpm and i will personally suck your cock, Secondly this guys technique. although he has an awkward way of describing the motions (no offense DrJoy, keep at it) his technique is the most efficient way of playing doubles.

[monkeygames18]

@railfreek Show me a vid of you playing doubles at 500bpm. what shit.

[FoolOfTheWeek]

@railfreek did u try this technic?^^

Its rly common and many drummers use it... still i n to say that u should practise it a lil different. what u actually should do is one stroke with ur wrist lettin the stick rebound and then one stroke with ur fingers while bringing ur wrists in the upper position. So whats shown here is not completely correct in my opinion...still DrJoy does correctly at speed...strange thing...^^

[uwepetersen]

@railfreek: you idiot, first of all he very well explains the snap-up technique which you need to play all the rudiments and second, this is a TD-8 kit.

[roy151296]

@railfreek he don't say it's a trick, but it's just a suggestion to practice... and btw i think he beats you with double stroke rolls...

[DavidPartay]

@railfreek Thomas Lang.

[dahonkie]

man this is baisic!

[ShelterDogs]

Very nice lesson, Dr. Joy. You are very precise and clear in your instructions. That seems to be lacking from an aweful lot of music lesson videos on YouTube.

I've been having trouble with speeding up my rudiments, and now I know why. You don't simply just rebound. I just have one question though... You do this same technique to speed up double strokes in general, right? Just minus the accent part? I was mainly trying to improve my double strokes. Not onto rolls yet.

[1DrJoy]

Hi ShelterDogs,

You're almost correct. I do use this same technique to speed up the double strokes, but I keep pushing for the accents. This way the second note doesn't die away or get overwhelmed by the first stroke.

[ShelterDogs]

I see, thank you. I'm sending you a message now.

[redfire740]

ok well like im just starting to learn how to play the drums well i have been for about a month and my left hand is always ALOT slower than my right and no matter how hard i pratice my left hand isnt as fast as my right is there any exersies that can help?

[ShelterDogs]

Get a book called 'Stick Control' by George B. Stone. Message me for a couple of links that are related to it.

PS: I think that Dr. Joy has retired from giving YT lessons. He was good while he was around, though. But like some of the great rock bands such as The Police and The Smiths, YT drum teachers retire early.

[redfire740]

hey dr joy i was wondering if u can help me on something

[1DrJoy]

I'll do my best.....

[Superterrestrial]

English people crazy yo.

[Db3st0794]

double strokes is confusing for me, cuz i learned paradiddles first, then i started learning double strokes, i keep doing paradiddles.

[okram21]

I always have problems with my left hand LOL

[bartsy1993]

this has nothing to do with the video although it is am good one.

big dog i noticed you had a big dog hi hat pedal and i was thnking of getting a double bass pedal of the same make. ive heard they are like DW but just cheaper and i wondered generall what the pedal itself was like, currently i use mapex and i find the pedal to thin

[JJordanx]

i use a big dog double kick. it works very well but its difficult to keep down, but its very big and chunky.

[liamgriff]

i own a dw 5000 in my opinion big dogs double bass pedal does really compare to dw,

i would reconment if any a dw pedal one of the best iv ever played

[liamgriff]

i would recomend a dw to a big dog as big dogs double bass pedal doesnt compare to a dw in my opinion

[bartsy1993]

yeh ive plaed a dw 5000 and yeh its good but it comes with a price tag and i want a double bass pedal so u know it just gets more costly =[

[1DrJoy]

I've been using a DW7000 single kick pedal for the last three years on my Roland kit and have to say that it's one of the worst pedals I've ever played....I much prefer my Pearl single pedal.....

[joevld]

OK!! Thanx!

[Ridebmx34521]

haha

[strikeme5]

what if you were doing traditional grip would you do same but left hand will still go up

[DDRsensation]

just don't do this on traditional :P

[k42c]

search for jojo mayer vids he explains a way of doing it in trad. grip or buy his dvd.

[wafflesftwv8]

LMFAO!

1:24 "Whatever that finger is.."

Great video, really helped :]

[dunkelwerden]

thank you! this helped me a lot. you're the greatest =)

[CallThisHopeless]

Dr Joy you are the fuckin man

[hyrael2]

This technique is good when double arent engouth strong to play.

[herrmuellerberlin]

Yo!

Great Stuff, John! Still the same great guy and drummer as back in '94!! :-)))

Great to see you here!

Will give you an update, soon!

Love, A

[Ollyknkn]

Hi!

Great vid! i hope to see more of your vids!

check out my bands covers, just click on my name!

Thanks!

[worldguitars]

Anyone looking for lessons on rhythm I definately recommend getting one from Doc Joy, he has worked with me for years :-)

[worldguitars]

Great stuff mate, this video is really popular :-)

[thenickanator]

you have the same practice pad as me! ace! hahaha but yeah awesome video lesson man hopefully loads of drummers'll see it and we;ll have some better more controlled fills and vids about instead of this bouncy open handed crap thats flying around. have you seen jojo meyers DVD btw? cos you're saying pretty much exactly the same thing as him which is a pretty sure sign you're right lol

[1DrJoy]

No, I;ve not managed to see the JoJo Meyers DVD yet. Glad you liked the lesson and thanks for the comment. :)

[Deltoro19]

Well thanks a lot for this video! I guess I'm just gonna have to start slow and get used to it.

[thenewmush]

Great Lesson.
