  • Who the hell plays like this? Flyback, snap, accent the snap? Just practice right right left left, and paradiddles and you'll be able to get 500+ BPM. PRACTICE PRACTICE, there's no tricks just practice. NICE TD9 kit though

  • @railfreek It's a TD-8 kit...

  • Very nice lesson, Dr. Joy. You are very precise and clear in your instructions. That seems to be lacking from an aweful lot of music lesson videos on YouTube.

    I've been having trouble with speeding up my rudiments, and now I know why. You don't simply just rebound. I just have one question though... You do this same technique to speed up double strokes in general, right? Just minus the accent part? I was mainly trying to improve my double strokes. Not onto rolls yet.

  • Hi ShelterDogs,

    You're almost correct. I do use this same technique to speed up the double strokes, but I keep pushing for the accents. This way the second note doesn't die away or get overwhelmed by the first stroke.

  • hey dr joy i was wondering if u can help me on something

  • I'll do my best.....

  • @railfreek he don't say it's a trick, but it's just a suggestion to practice... and btw i think he beats you with double stroke rolls...

  • I wish i knew What this guy was talking about you always use you 3 back fingers for power and the control the stick thein with the three fingers is TOTALY wrong......Maybe in britain but not on Drumming LOL pls dont listen what this guy is saying and look up DrumCore stuff you will not be very good and your rolls sound like a accent tap excersise LOL never take you fingers off the stick that much LOL sry guy im not hating im just correcting

  • this guy doesn't know what he's doing. he's teaching horrable techniques. he plays sloppy.

  • Good old England, always birds chirping in the background!! When will we americans begin the great war on noise???

  • Moeller Whip……

  • Very well explained and you are funny.

  • @railfreek: you idiot, first of all he very well explains the snap-up technique which you need to play all the rudiments and second, this is a TD-8 kit.
