Having trouble with your rolls? Panic when you play a longer roll? No idea what rhythm you're playing inside your rolls?
Take the mystery out of drum rolls, so you always know exactly what you're playing.
Getting lost inside your rolls?
It's an easy mistake to make, and even some pros do it.. in fact it's almost counter-intuitive. We spend all this time making our drum rolls smooth and seamless, sometimes we forget we're actually playing a note rate or hand change speed inside the roll!
Many people just randomly roll without any thought to the rhythm they're playing inside the roll, and consequently the roll itself sounds uneven, plus you can't actually end the roll properly.
In Clean Up Your Drum Rolls you will..
- Learn the technical differences between executing a double stroke roll or a buzz roll. Also how they sound different.
- Lean how and when the technique of the Double Stroke Roll changes depending on the speed. Double wrist? Or 1 wrist, then a finger snap?
- Learn how to join your Buzz Roll together into one seamless, legato sound by starting the next roll BEFORE the previous one has finished.
- Gain confidence in choosing the right rhythm inside the roll, depending on what's written on the page, but also the TEMPO you're playing at.
- Transition between regular notes to rolled notes.
