Just curious what you all have to say about this...
My teacher is showing me 3 distinct stages of double stroke rolls hand/grip technique when moving from slow to fast.
Start slow:
- Mostly wrist, fairly snug finger control
Hit medium speed:
- move to use more finger than wrist
Hit fast speed:
- move to use all rebound, no finger control
So you can work in from slow to fast changing between the 3 techniques. The exercise is not about trying to play fast, but about controlling the transitions between the 3 hand techniques.
What I'm really curious about is how many of you play a fast double stroke roll where you DON'T use any fingers and totally rely on the stick rebound? For me, I've never felt comfortable (becuase I never practiced it

) just letting the stick fall and rebound without my fingers having something to do with it.
This leads into doing a buzz roll. The only way I can do a decent buzz roll is to use only the stick bounce/rebound. I can't put my back fingers into it becuase they interfere of course with the buzz. So this is the same concept as above with the double strokes.
Any comments? Thanks!
