Single Handed Roll (Triplet Variation)

A variation of the single-handed roll (freehand) technique I came up with. Yes, you use both hands, but there is still only one stick contacting the head. I just thought it was cool so I'm posting it here. This is my first drum vid, and comments would be appreciated.

Well, you simply lost the hole point with it being a single handed roll. Seems kinda useless to me.

@henkepenk93 Read the description: "Yes, you use both hands, but there is still only one stick contacting the head."

if ur going to hit the stick thats doing to the roll with the other stick, y not just do a roll with both sticks? lol

[SeanBroccoli]

Because I can already do rolls the normal way(s).

[seanotherway]

your adding in the stick hitting sound with your left..and doing the one handed roll with your right ..is a lot different then a roll with both hands..the dynamics of the stick hitting sound with the roll

[SeanBroccoli]

bingo. the head sound is more uniform between strokes because the same stick is hitting it over and over, and at the same time the 1 of the 3 pattern is accented by the sticks clicking together.

see... this is the way its done..... good job man... and SUPER A + on not doing this on a electronic drum kit!!!

[SeanBroccoli]

its a fun trick, not meant to be practical.
