Alright, i've been going through these rudiments, and i'm pretty sure that i've been doing the double stroke roll, and the triple strok roll incorrectly. In this video it looks like they are just hitting the snare once, and then letting it bounce. I've been hitting three times right with no bounce, three times left with no bounce. It sounds nothing like how they are making it sound.
So my question is, do you only hit once right, then it let it bounce twice, hit left once, then let it bounce twice, so on and so forth... |

If you can do it at tempo w/o a bounce I guess it would be OK, but realistically I don't think you could do sixteenth triplets at any reasonable speed. They do use a bounce for the second stroke on a double, and the second and third strokes on a triple. You need to develop those clean bounce/finger strokes. The double stroke rolls are most often thirty-second notes which makes the bounce that much more necessary. This post has been edited by Poco Askew: Jun 26 2008, 11:11 AM -------------------- .

My take on it and how I do it for double and tripple. I use my wrist to start the stroke, then keep it down till the stroke is about to finish. I let the stick bounce and with my fingers I do another stroke with my finger and thumb where I'm holding the stick as the fulcrum, and when I'm moving my wrist back up I make the last stroke with my fingers and the fulcrum.
The key to this is getting your finger response up and keeping hands loose. This post has been edited by maximus5150: Jun 26 2008, 11:27 AM -------------------- "Anything that is too stupid to be spoken is sung. " -- Voltaire
