  • You should talk a little about the technique you use to do two fast strokes with one hand :) Otherwise good, 4

  • Good call. I was planning to do a follow up on this one in a few weeks where I will talk more about the technique required for the fast strokes! Keep Tuned to see! The Dr.

  • as already pointed out, great demo (the what to do), but a bit lacking on the technique (how to do it)

  • Thank you, Dr. Joy.

  • You didn't talk about any proper way to hold the sticks and to move the fingers. You don't want to rely on your arms, it should be one movement for each set of 2 strokes for each wrist - and as you get better the wrists should move less and less. People who excel in double stroke rolls can balance a penny on their hands because they only use their fingers! You can see from watching that at a certain point in speeding up you switch over to the fingers instead of arms. Smooth doubles though!

  • Nice video, Dr Joy, I'll practice this.

    Keep it up.

    JBU.

  • great to use in shuffle or new orleans patterns

  • haha its funny how he keeps forgetting what to say

  • You make it sound so easy. I seem to have trouble speeding it up. I can do double stroke on the intermediate speed (Approx. 2:25 mins on video) but when in full speed (2:30) I just can't do it. Is it more on the bounce or your wrist movements?

  • i shall practice this

  • Monkey Lord approved!!
