  • @samm1809 thank you for saying that. Very true

  • @mexicanpoptart17 Actually, you are supposed to bounce diddles. It's much more beneficial to learn to guide the rebound of, say, a floor tom, rather than just strengthen the muscles enough to do it.

  • @4given94 it's difficult to begin with, but it just takes exercise of the muscles that are needed to bounce the stick. people do things like practice on pillows and stuff to build up their finger muscles and then when they go to drum on a floor tom its a breeze. jojo mayer addressed it in his dvd.

  • @4given94 Diddle are never supposed to bounce...EVER!!! A diddle requires finger and only finger. And i can still play them at 210 bpm.

  • @4given94 That's a really good question. Yes they should be bounces but more work is required on a low-tuned floor tom. I would practice doubles on a floor tom slowly at first (2 separate strokes) but as they get faster let the rebound do more of the work. If you 'throw' the first note of each double enough they should still bounce, but not as quick as the edge of a snare drum of course. (posted from my other account)

  • Hey Man, are you bouncing the sticks for the double strokes and if so how would you play that on, say, a floor tom where you don't get the rebound required for bouncing the stick?
