I've spent last 8 years trying to play clean rolls accentuating the second hit and I still can't make it the way Jim does it. Music is so weird, it seems like the more you practice, the more you find those little details that you have to pulish in order to become a true profesional. And it's only drummers like Jim that can help you through all that stuff! R.I.P Jim
@camoacu True. I had a teacher that told me practicing this type of stuff the "wrong way", can actually reduce your precision and time. He'd make me stop practicing something, as soon as he saw I had gotten it. I thought that was weird, but he'd just say "once your extremities know how to do it correctly, what's the point in you questioning whether they do or not?" :-)
Call it whatever name you will but this technique is still relevant as was everything these cats did. Brain mantia had a section on this on his dvd...abd he's a total different style of drummer. Billy rhymer from Dillinger was doing this at a clinic. Gotta keep Learning.
I agree with what he is saying here BUT, I'm one of those drummers who plays into the head (like right through the fricking floor) on my snare drum and it works for me. I play mostly single stroke rolls though. So what I'm saying is this isn't the only way to approach rolls. Check out my solos on here (my tributes to Buddy Rich).
There are also closed rolls (or buzz rolls), these involve many bounces per down movement of the hand. In an open roll (when executed right) you can clearly hear both hits per hand movement. A closed roll only gives a buzz sound and the strikes are less pronounced. Perhaps you recognise the closed roll as the ``circus roll''.
Open refers to the beginning and ending part of a drum rudiment. He is discussing the 1st Rudiment called "long roll" Every rudiment starts slow, evenly/gradually speed up, hold the fastest part for a moment, then slow the rudiment back down (ie open it back up again) The accents are when the long roll is slow and should gradually disappear as you speed up and the reappear when you slow it back down.
@AceDrumm3r You practise accenting the second stroke to even the roll out. As you speed it up the accent becomes less defined. It also stops you from digging the stick into the head.
I was fortunate enough to study with Mr. Chapin on a few occasions several years ago. A total class act, great guy, passionate about teaching. Let me tell you, guys like that, especially in the music biz, are few and far between. He is missed....
Just practice your doubles on a floor Tom gradually picking up the tempo(gradually)!!! On your biggest Tom that is. Then you'll have the best doubles possible.
(2) the stick comes back naturally (leave your hand down) and then catch small rebound
(3) You are now in perfect position after the "catch" for the secondary FULL STROKE. Throw the stick back down and LEAVE YOUR HAND DOWN, let the stick bounce back and catch
(4) you are now in position for the low stroke throw/catch
The Moeller Technique is well worth the exploration & study it takes to execute & master. When learning the Moeller Double Stroke it's very important to stay at a slow tempo for a long time, making sure you over exagerate the secondary accent. As the tempo increases to a certain level you will feel the accent wanting to fade, allow this to happen & before you know it, your rolls will be supercharged with an increase in acceleration you have never known. It works beleive me, you won't regret it.
it makes me sick to watch a great video by Jim Chapin only to look to my right and see the featured video is expertvillage telling me "how to play a drum roll"
It really seems funny to me how he is coming from the crushed rolls (and I assume buzz as well) and the double stroke is what seem likes the more advanced rudiment, when I come from a Drum Corp back round, so applying double strokes to my set or concert is easy, but I really have to apply my self to get smooth buzz or crush rolls.
Just goes to show the diversity of drumming and percussion.
haha! I hear ya man. My own double stroke rolls used to disgust me too! I finally incorporated the technique Jim is describing here.... made a world of a difference.
I've tried doing this and I always feel the need to make the first hit an accent and not the second hit like he's explaining. And even if I do get it down, how is he able to pull away so fast on the upstroke when he gets up to tempo like 1:30
He makes some sort of reversed motion; he comes down with the stick pointing down, when it hits the pad, he pulls the stick up and makes a louder stroke, ergo the accent is omn the second stroke
@jkman10 im not yet really good at this yet, but ive noticed that you can do this with little less tempo easily by doing the first stroke with really loose grip on the stick, so it gets nice bounce but not that loud sound, and then instantly when the stick hits your pad try to quickly squeeze your fingers to tight fist (still keeping the grip between your thumb and the first finger pretty loose and relaxed). And then practice to make your fingerst faster.
Think about the Gladstone stroke. IF you don't know of it , learn about it. All of this stuff is inter-related. Gladstone is simply pushing down with the hand, letting the stick rebound while leaving your hand down. Once you get that motion down, you will see it's not your hand lifting the stick, but it's the stick rebounding and *you catching the stick when it's well back in your hand*. gladstone.
@jkman10 Here's the key.,First you need to relax your arm muscles as much as you can .,You have to use your entire arm up to the elbow .Flap your wings slightly so to speak ,
^^ lead with an accented right but only one note. Practice for 10 minutes a day VERY SLOWLY and deliberately, you want to get the motion down perfectly , otherwise you'll never get it up to speed fluidly
@jkman10 i think its down to his fingers aswel partly. i dont know if your doing it like this already, but if you imagine your pinching the stick (loosely) and allow the stick to fall, you then pull it back up with your other 3 fingers. this is mainly for match grip but you can see his right hand doing something similar to this. when i got taught this it really helped with my speed and control, also use positivelybored's technique.
if your already doing this im sorry for waisting your time =D
This line of conversation is pretty hard to follow because I wasn't completely agreeing with either of you. YouTube's pretty confusing. Let's just see if he actually bothers to say something in response to all this. Probably not.
I was talking more towards the troll who thinks he's a pioneer and has doesn't aspire to be as good as these people. But, because you mention it, consider Travis' fanbase. If he didn't beat the shit out of his equipment, his fans wouldn't like him. My teacher was a student of Chapin's, and when he plays whatever will pay the rent, but plays amazing jazz on his own. Even if Travis doesn't, I doubt he'd look at these videos and think he can do better.
I see all these trolls coming here talking about Travis Barker being better than X, Y, and Z. I don't even think HE thinks he's better than them. To his credit, he knows his instrument and is able to reach an audience that these classics would not, but if you don't think Travis idolized them or at least learned something from their techniques, then you must not know much about percussion.
@travisBrulzz Dude! Are you kidding me! Travis couldn't play half of this shit. Apparently you know nothing about music. The only thing Travis has over this guy is the ability to hit as hard as he can, which any dumbass could pull off
jim chapin rocks his been doing before you where born travis barker yuck i respect old school drummser like peter criis eric carr and ringo starr and jim chapin keep rocking in heavan jim
ringo starr was a terrible drummer... in an interview with the beetles, they were were asked "so you guys must think ringo is the best drummer in the world, right?" and the reply was "hell, he's not the best drummer in the band"
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
"Ringo a terrible drummer"!? What planet do you come from? Can you even play the drums? What a wanker! Site your sources on that interview...you can't because it doesnt exist!
im sorry i miss quoted John Lennon's classic answer to the question "Is Ringo Starr the best drummer in the world?" which was in fact "I don't even think he is the best drummer in the Beatles."
you find it your self before your so quick to accuse me of making shit up. i'll be honest the most of the Beatles songs wouldn't have worked without Ringo's style of drumming, but is terrible compared to the rest of the drummers you mentioned. and i have been playing for little under 10 years, so fuck u
I know you people aren't on here comparing Travis Barker to this man. That should not even be a discussion. Travis Barker can come nowhere near this man. Seriously people Travis is good but he is not good enough to be compared to Jim Chapin. Travis has never done anything to impress me. I bet you all think Travis is as good as Buddy Rich too. LOL!!! Think again because you're wrong!
at 1.50 when he says here's another way to do it-am i right in the fact that the second stroke is thje weaker so opposite to the one technique befroe hand?
he actually died very recently and it was a hit to the drumming world. awesome drummer, was an ambassador for the moeller technique and was the last surviving student of moeller himself.
I can definitely understand where you are coming from though. Many people my age can't really tell talented musicians from mediocre ones any more...Thankfully I was put in the right direction by a handful of people and I got interested in musicianship early on.(:
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
your a rterad end of stori this old guy aint fucking bad on a pad but what is like on the fucking set we now how great travis is on the fucking set anyone can play rolls on a fucking pad dumbass
These are INSTRUCTIONAL videos. Meant to INSTRUCT. Not to show off. And no, we DON'T know how great travis is on a set. Any experienced drummer or any experienced musician at all can tell you that all the hype over Mr. Barker is well over done and he is indeed very average.
Thank you so much! Thats exactly how I feel, I just appreciate Jim way more. Travis is good too, nothing against him, but I definitely appreciate Jim way more too.
@doublebassdrummer1 - You can learn something from just about any drummer, even if it's how not to do a particular thing. Travis Barker contributes to this learning process too. Chapin, however, is a real master of technique and what he has to share can benefit every drummer in some way. I don't think it's fair to compare the two; they are very different. Take something from each drummer you encounter and make it your own. No matter what, tho', you have to put in the time to be good.
@doublebassdrummer1 have you ever herd of travis ? oviously not dumbass if you did youd know trhat he can own this guy on a fucking drum set this guy is only good at playing on fucking snaires that sound wierd
@travisbarkerizdaman HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARH. "Fucking snaires that sounds weird". Dude please, people like Travis have much to learn from people like Chapin. You need to learn how to spell "Snare" correctly, as well as realize what the hell a practice pad is.
@doublebassdrummer1 It's strange how everybody is talking about Travis all of the time isn't it? Every type of video to do with music; his name crops up.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
dude hes good on a fucking pad but id love to see him set up that dw behind him and fucking solo i dont think he could handel travis on set maybe on the fucking pad thouh open get some fucking glasess dumbass
He created a new generation of drummers, contrary to travis, who managed to became only a commercial puppet, whose stupid fans ruin his memory. Pathetic comment of yours
you are a fucking moron. And by your user name its clear that you'd happily swallow about 9 loads from that useless waste of skin. Listen, leave your bedroom, and go to a few clubs and see that even the local cats in your community are better drummers than travis barker. That guy is all image. And its really really sad that you dont know who Jim Chapin is.
Dude, travis is good, he has great power/control. He re-did soldier boy and it sounds tits. Check out his snare drum solo in the studio....good power and definitely using Moeller method.
I don't discount that he's a good drummer. But some of my students are good drummers too. His 'soldier boy' remix is boring. Its just him bopping his stupid skull up and down and laying a hard-ass groove. I've seen guys playing tin cans at the subway that have more talent in their bucket-for-a-bassdrum than Travis. I guess what i'm trying to say is, I as a drummer resent someone like him because he sold his soul to reality TV. It's all image. There are too many guys that should be in his place.
Get over yourself....you prefer Travis played drums only in his basement and avoid getting paid. No offence, but you are a moron if you think people sell their soul to go on reality TV. It's called making a living, getting paid. Check out his snare solo in studio, you will see he is a shredder. If one never sells themselves, that's usually because they have nothing to sell...no image, no SKILL, no showmanship. You are making it obvious you don't intend on working as a drummer.
Name me one person that pulled the reality TV show card for anything more than money and quick fame. I admit, its ok if someone as desperate as Kim Karadshainianan(?) does it because she's just lazy and wants quick money. But when a musician does it, it's just a slap in the face to all of us. His TV show was a disgrace, and if he had based it solely on his music, then i would have applauded him. But he didn't. Hence, he sold is soul to reality TV.
Don't know your living situation/job, don't care, not my business. Answer this truthfully.....would you go on a TV show? (for whatever reason), sign a contract saying you will be paid 1 million dollars guranteed....lets even say 200k.
Now you are going to say no because you have some kind of honor or won't "sell your soul". I think you are looking at things the wrong way. Good luck to you.
You can't even spell "snare" My God. You are in no position to be talking about this. No, Travis Barker most certainly does not have better "snair" chops than Mr. Chapin. Guys like you embarass yourself when you say stuff like that.
Seriously! What is it with these people and their stinkin Travis Barker. Yeah he's good but Travis cannot touch this man in the drumming world. Jim Chapin is way better of a drummer than Travis. I'm with ya bro! It's usually the beginners that like Travis so much anyway. It'll take time but they will broaden their horizon a little more in the world of drums.
Oh man!!!!!!! I didn't know he passed. He is total old school and I just watched his DVD last night. There are so many great quotes and he is very wise! "You must look at them in disbelief"...."Pretend you have some heavy crank case oil on your finger tips" lol
...But not with your Fingers! And that´s what he meant... Just think about the Second Stroke (with the Stick) as painful, so...you trie to get the Stick away from the Pad-Surface...
Thomas Lang does his double stroke he way Chapin demonstrates at 0:55 (which Chapin says isn't the best way to do it). There are so many ways to do the same thing on drums!
he looks kinda like he's gonna murder someone when he goes all normal facial expression-like... lol he is brilliant at teaching though I find it so easy to follow
nobody ask me why, cuz i dont know myself, but i think he would be an amazing character in a zombie game like resident evil or something idk if its cuz his hands are just so ferocious he just seems like he is ready to shoot up some zombies
I think this guys is kind of famous but does anyone know if he is taking on students or doing clinics. I've seen his other videos and he's one of the best guys out there.
Owwww !!! His pad is definitely hot

Think again because you're wrong!

he actually died very recently and it was a hit to the drumming world. awesome drummer, was an ambassador for the moeller technique and was the last surviving student of moeller himself.

These are INSTRUCTIONAL videos. Meant to INSTRUCT. Not to show off. And no, we DON'T know how great travis is on a set. Any experienced drummer or any experienced musician at all can tell you that all the hype over Mr. Barker is well over done and he is indeed very average.

Thank you so much! Thats exactly how I feel, I just appreciate Jim way more. Travis is good too, nothing against him, but I definitely appreciate Jim way more too.

@doublebassdrummer1 - You can learn something from just about any drummer, even if it's how not to do a particular thing. Travis Barker contributes to this learning process too. Chapin, however, is a real master of technique and what he has to share can benefit every drummer in some way. I don't think it's fair to compare the two; they are very different. Take something from each drummer you encounter and make it your own. No matter what, tho', you have to put in the time to be good.

you are a fucking moron. And by your user name its clear that you'd happily swallow about 9 loads from that useless waste of skin. Listen, leave your bedroom, and go to a few clubs and see that even the local cats in your community are better drummers than travis barker. That guy is all image. And its really really sad that you dont know who Jim Chapin is.

Dude, travis is good, he has great power/control. He re-did soldier boy and it sounds tits. Check out his snare drum solo in the studio....good power and definitely using Moeller method.
kneedragger81 2 years ago
I don't discount that he's a good drummer. But some of my students are good drummers too. His 'soldier boy' remix is boring. Its just him bopping his stupid skull up and down and laying a hard-ass groove. I've seen guys playing tin cans at the subway that have more talent in their bucket-for-a-bassdrum than Travis. I guess what i'm trying to say is, I as a drummer resent someone like him because he sold his soul to reality TV. It's all image. There are too many guys that should be in his place.
eskimoposh 2 years ago
Get over yourself....you prefer Travis played drums only in his basement and avoid getting paid. No offence, but you are a moron if you think people sell their soul to go on reality TV. It's called making a living, getting paid. Check out his snare solo in studio, you will see he is a shredder. If one never sells themselves, that's usually because they have nothing to sell...no image, no SKILL, no showmanship. You are making it obvious you don't intend on working as a drummer.
kneedragger81 2 years ago
Name me one person that pulled the reality TV show card for anything more than money and quick fame. I admit, its ok if someone as desperate as Kim Karadshainianan(?) does it because she's just lazy and wants quick money. But when a musician does it, it's just a slap in the face to all of us. His TV show was a disgrace, and if he had based it solely on his music, then i would have applauded him. But he didn't. Hence, he sold is soul to reality TV.
eskimoposh 2 years ago
Don't know your living situation/job, don't care, not my business. Answer this truthfully.....would you go on a TV show? (for whatever reason), sign a contract saying you will be paid 1 million dollars guranteed....lets even say 200k.
Now you are going to say no because you have some kind of honor or won't "sell your soul". I think you are looking at things the wrong way. Good luck to you.

Seriously! What is it with these people and their stinkin Travis Barker. Yeah he's good but Travis cannot touch this man in the drumming world. Jim Chapin is way better of a drummer than Travis. I'm with ya bro! It's usually the beginners that like Travis so much anyway. It'll take time but they will broaden their horizon a little more in the world of drums.
