25 stroke rolls - aka the roll off 

Thank you so much for letting me know. I’m glad you find this helpful

I’m glad that helps. I have a background as an elementary school teacher so I’ve learned that the stupider the mnemonic the better...

Great idea!

Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad you’re finding these useful. Your question seems to be too much to answer in a reply in the comment section. But I think I know what you’re asking. I will add it to my list of videos to do in the future. Cheers!

this has likely been answered at some point but the main difference is generally a more heavy reliance of smaller muscle groups by scottish drummers as opposed to marching drummers who tend to use heavier wrist movements that produce a darker and heavier tone.

Glad to hear that you’re doing well!! 😊

ScottishDrumLessons Thank you, very much and hey I had Sherman off back in March before this whole thing started.

The disclaimer on this channel, is that everything has "stuff" to learn prior to and following this video. All videos are a step in the middle. However, the best way to accomplish that crescendo you are referring to, is to start the roll with a very gentle buzz. That will set up the tone for the entire roll.

To get the tempo up, the best way is to slowly increase the metronome one click at a time until you are comfortable at each step along the way. Don't try to rush your progress. And, I don't have a BPM for you for when you should switch the subdivision. But my general rule is that a faster tempo (based on your individual ability and experience) would need a 16th note subdivision like a 17 stroke roll. And a slower would need the sextuplet subdivision. I would rarely use different subdivision for this specific scenario. But a quintuplet could be used for an even slower tempo one beat roll. With the caveat that there are always exceptions... so..."It depends"

I will absolutely make another one. I have an earlier video from a few years ago. But I can make an updated one for sure.

I found that with beginners there’s a tendency to not finish the last buzz until the final tap. If you leave it down a bit longer it will help fill out the roll. Also I like to be more intentional when I lift it up. If you get in the habit of lifting it straight up you don’t always go to the next position where it’s needed in the most efficient manner. This is a later lesson. But it’s OK to leave it down a little bit extra long for now so you don’t build a habit of going the wrong direction after the roll. It slows you down the long run.
