Brian Viglione "Sound Central" Drum Workshop pt. 2/5

2011.12.18 --Double stroke roll
In December 2011, I gave a drum workshop via Skype with musicians from Afghanistan, Brazil, Iran, Turkey, and the United States conferencing in on the call. It's a great opportunity to converse about ideas and follow up with short demonstrations to drummers around the globe. Thanks so much to everyone who contributed to the call and looking forward to more in the future.

I had a major breakthrough one afternoon trying to work on the double-kick pattern for the song "Becoming" by Pantera, realizing that I had the triplet pattern wrong and he was using a double stoke, not just alternating singles. I still need plenty of work on it to play it up to speed, but taking the time to slowly work it out step by step got me much closer than I was before.

@ilikeapplejuice314 @ilikeapplejuice314 Yes, totally agreed about just taking the time to slowly and deliberately work through things you can't quite do yet. It takes patience, but if you're consistent and focus on it, the progress happens.

How does this not have more views?

I've been playing the drums for quite a while now and I've found it really does come down to just practising the things you can't do, starting slowly (really slowly if necessary), until you can do them. I find that what takes the time is realising what you can't do. I find most areas for improvement are in some way related to your weaker hand/foot.
