The Multiple Bounce Roll has an
undefined number of bounces per hand change. You
alternate sticks (as in a single stroke) but instead of
playing 1 or 2 distinct notes per hand, you squeeze the
stick and aim to get a long, consistent buzz sound. This
is the result of many buzzes, probably around 7, 8 or 9.
Rather than trying to count how many notes, just aim for
a particular sound, and make sure that the sound you get
is in fact a buzz sound from start to end.
Try squeezing the stick between the
flat of the thumb and both the index and middle finger.
Now buzz the stick into the drum head. Don't squeeze so
tight that the buzz ends prematurely, but don't squeeze
too loose or you won't get a buzz sound straight away.
You need to find the sweet spot to make the stick buzz
the entire duration of the stroke, and you also want the
buzz to go for as long as possible.
Start out with long, slow, drawn out
buzzes aiming for as long a buzz as possible. From there
gradually speed up and mould the buzzes into each other.
