This is a way of applying the double stroke roll. Keep in mind there are many ways of incorporating this into rudimental patterns and warm ups. These are just a few ideas to help guide you. Enjoy!

  • can you make a video on the beginning of walk on water or drown?:)

  • @gracedorothyxo Sure, once I get back to a drum kit and can talk again :)

  • have you used double stoke rolls in your songs like "stay" or "one man drinking games" where its a drumroll with accents most of the song? or do you use double stroke more often with fills? or do you just paradiddle fills instead?

  • @Dmane112 In both of those songs it's mostly just RLRLRLRLR stuff w/ Accents on certain notes. In Stay, I do use a Para Diddle Diddle which is RLRRLL. I do RLRRLL RLRRLL really quickly at one point. I also do diddles in Stay which I'll explain in a later video.

  • what size sticks do you use?

  • @Dmane112 I use 2B. It's all personal preference and it all depends on the style music you play. I used to use 5B until I noticed I was breaking sticks left and right so I got something a little beefier.

  • Cool man, nice to see you on YouTube! I'm planning on getting into some professional studio drum covers soon and Mayday Parade is in the cover list. By the way, my band, Whisper to Baxwell, just played Jamie All Over at The National the other night down here in RVA when we headlined. Can't wait to see y'all on March 6th!
