Five Stroke Roll Insanity - Drum Lesson (DRUMEO) 

Enjoy the lesson everyone, stay away from the negativity that sometimes get posted in the comments here on RU-vid. Happy rudimenting! (is that a word?) - Jared Falk

Nice simple, adds a lot to the practice I've been sticking out on the pad! Thanks Jared.

Thanks for the comment! In this lesson I am using the Pro-Mark 707 (Simon Phillips signature stick). However, I'm in the process of selecting a new type of Pro-Mark stick as I'm just not happy with that one. When I finally settle on an exact model I'll post a video to announce it and explain my reasoning for the choice. Hope that helps! - Jared Falk

The drums sound amazing and the cymbals sound PERFECT. What a great tone and decay!

I couldn't pay attenion on the lesson because I was falling in love for these cymbals

This channel is awesome...made me a much better drummer...thank you.

Love your lessons Jared... and your DVD's thanks

another well explained video, and I really like the 3 camera angles and the bouncy ball on the sheet music below - thank you

kickass fill in exercise 2, thanks Jared for the great lesson

XLNT.. Very well delivered and great graphics.... Best free lessons Ive seen .. Thank you

Awesome shirt and liking these rudiment-applying-vids!

Man Jared, great chops and awesome teaching skills!

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Are you talking about doing it this way instead of using single strokes? Or to not change the lead hand? Not changing the lead hand would be harder as you'd have three strokes in a row right in the middle of the rudiment. Whatever works for you though! - Jared Falk

Really Great Video it has inspired me, thanks

Awesome lesson. They are extremely helpful!

I love your snare sound.

Man i love these videos.

Once again great lesson. Exercise #2 isn't very rythmic, but it's great for finding the 1 once ya get comfortable with it.

Fantastic Lesson

Great lesson Falk :) Will practice this immediately :D

Maybe it's a little over the top, but I could definitely hear that fill played in some sort of gospel music setting.

mic'd to freakin perfection!!! smh and toned to greatness!! especially the bass

dude thats very awsome the lesson helps me alot thanks jared nice technique

YESS!! awesome lesson/vid. the 2nd one was pretty insane and slightly strange (i like it fer sure, just a lil cacophonous) but the 3rd is SIIIICK!! excellent application and i could hear tearing that one a new hole in the climax of a song or having that be the ending measure or sommat like that. just got in2 the 5 stroke roll a bit ago and i love seeing the many applications. thank you!

Love all your videos man! Im writing some music for my students and this is the only video I could find for that grouping of the 5 stroke roll in the 3rd exercise notated. Do you have any idea what that is called?

Love the tshirt

Really good drum beat

On example 2, the visualisation score is all wrong for the kick, even before its sped up.

Thanks need to Practice.

Great stuff Jared! Really diggin' the rudiments around the kit. Have you tried the more advanced "drum corps" style rudiments around the kit? Flamdrags and swiss army triplets can sound really insane on the kit as well.

Bill Bruford uses this a lot on Yes' "Perpetual Change".

you are by far my favorite drum teacher on youtube. no offense to anyone else :)

This is sweet!

This was used in my snare line music all the time in triplet form.

Awesome shirt!

great lesson hermano!

God bless ya Jared!! 😇😇❤️☺️☺️

Thanks Jared. Great vid. It will def give me more stuff to put in my tool box. A Pat Petrillo dvd got me started on the 5 stroke years ago. Like you said not only is it a great rudiment but it's a great fill on the kit. Do you have a vid on the 6 stroke roll and it's application on the kit?

Excellent lesson! Thanks! It really twisted my mind at the end! How do you do it! :)

you always have the best shirts

What is the best size drum stick for this?

Thanks ❤️

nice drumming dude....

estan buenisimos los videos y la forma en la que enseña jared, pero la verdad es que entenderia mucho mas si estaria traducido o subtitulado, se podra realizar, saludosssss

That Splash.. Sounds like the gods!

i have a question you should help me out with this its like i mix up my bass beat with snare beat i dont know why i do that so it sound like the same and i messed up the song any suggestions ?

nice lesson

this really will help me.. :) thank you

That's a cool T Shirt!

Nice vid like your rudiment videos :)

yeah thats what I tend to do, or i play four on the tom and two on the bass drum, which still sounds super fast but gives you time to move to the next drum. I started with my right too, but I guess my right hands just naturally slower. keep it up!

I instinctively want to just do 1 on the left when I lead with it, so this was actually pretty tough for me, not gonna lie.

Jesus Christ. You're so good.

What is a five stroke called with a single kick pedal only? That's what I'm working on

might help to share whazhappen to me: a R-Hander set up; open style; & matched grip. L-H on HH for meter, R-H snare now free to explore toms, etc. hard to reach ride cymbal (twisted like a pretzel) my teacher after much study simply moved the ride over by the HH now I have access to toms, etc w/o loosing hh meter/accents, ride, cow bell etc. Solved problem plus new possiblities. also created greater independence of coordination.Hollar back if it helps I'd like to know

Would you consider doing the five stroke roll with RRLLR - LLRRL more difficult than hands going interchangeably ?

That is "extremely" helpful Jared, thank you "so" very much for getting right back to me. I can't wait to see you video on your new choice of drumstick. I am struggling with my drumstick choice also. I love ProMark drumsticks, but I can't find a pair with the proper type of tip for my preference. Any chance you could explain to me why you are unhappy with your present choice? I have 2 sets of ProMark sticks, 769 Billy "Thurder" Mason & 526 Billy Ward the Bulb Sticks.

what drum does he have someone please reply :D! thanks

Awesome shirt! haha

Awesome, I love the five stroke roll myself. It is one of the rudiments that got me by for yrs on the road playing all over the place. However, these exercises are great as well. However, "Jared" what size sticks are you using??? I know they are ProMarks, but what length, what weight and what type of tip is it??? Please, this the second time I have asked. I know you are very busy, so I'm assuming that you just didn't get to my last email or comment/question. Thanks Jared. God Bless.

Hey Jared, can you make an episode that shows us where you place your cameras?

I have the same problem, but I've been playing for about 6 years and still can't do a comfortable simple 4 on each drum roll round the kit!! I seriously recommend learning right hand first. I now focus on creativity instead of being fast because I suck at it. Do you also have problems playing fast hi hat beats with your right hands?

Howis the visual metronome thing created? It looks very cool. Is there a standard software that would allow me to read the beats and adjust my timing in a similar way? Or maybe a mobile app? Btw, thanks for the great lesson Jared.

What kit is that? The wrap is absolutely gorgeous...

Hello,Jared I find your lessons very helpful.I play 10 instruments and sing.Drumming I never knew anything about rudiments nor understand what this means.I think I need to buy a good drum dvd to watch and use to pay along with.I also enjoy I was curious how long you have been playing and who inspired or inspires you?Any suggestions?Thanks,Jackie of youtube The Hectic Eclectics Band Jackie

Perhaps. I`ve been workin on some triplet based fills lately which i also find a bit hard to fit in a 4/4 groove without um.. degrooving the groove? :D

Well, if you play a larger kit, you can try a more ambidextrous setup. I like to keep a tom under my hats, and if I have extra rides or hats laying around, sometimes I'll play with hats and a ride on each side. It really improved my independence and mobility.

He's Got Hands Rock On!!!!!!

6:37 is that a ghost bass drum cos i didnt see it on the bar

I like this guy good player good teacher too arriba hermano

what drum set did you use in this video?

muy bueno exitossss

those cymbals sound awesome! paiste I saw it. but what exactly are they?

INSANE!!!!!!!

hey jared, ive been watching your videos for about 5 months now and i finally have enough money to get a drum set. Would you suggest anything?

Hi Jered, love your stuff. i play traditional grip, and a lot of your videos don't translate as easily as i would like them too to traditional. Would you make a video on traditional grip or make your videos more user friendly to us trad-grip drummers? Thank you.

Awesome splash! What is it?

The 769's are too heavy and the 526's aren't thick enough for my liking. Man, I can't believe how well you do those five stroke rolls Jared. I have been playing for over 40 yrs now and I can't hold a candle to you my friend. However, I am working on improving every day, but I'm not getting any younger and I am having many problems with pain due to arthritis and fibromyalgia, to name but a few of my health concerns. Never say die though is what I say and I just can't stop drumming. I love it.

Yeah triplets are an amazing sounding polyrhythm. They can really speed up or slow down a song. The other thing you could try is playing in a triplet meter (like a 6/8 time signature) and putting duples into it, really strange sound, kind of jazzy, kind of reggae.

awesome

This is a great lesson but I'm not sure if I like exercise 2 that much, it seems a bit messy to me. The five stroke roll has 5 beats in it of course, and you're playing it here as 16th note triplets which are basically just sextuplets, but you're not accenting them like sextuplets usually are (like 6/8 with the accent on the 1 and the 4). I can't really even tell how you're trying to accent them. The hi hat hit comes once after 9 beats then again after 10 beats. Something that might be more interesting would be to accent the beginning of every 5-stroke roll. If you did this with the triplets then you'd have some great polyrhythmic and polymetric stuff going on, incorporating 5, 3, and 4 at the same time. Of course this wouldn't fit cleanly into a bar of 4/4 so you'd have to shave off the last 8th note of the pattern, but you're already doing that in the exercise anyway.

Chris Adler (lamb of god) is a right handed drummer on a right handed setup and he starts most of his fills with his left hand so i guess its just practice. i'm right handed and i practice(ed) a lot on going "reverse" on my toms ( from the bigy to the smallest) and there you have to do a cross over ( same for going from floor tom to snare for right handed drummers)

Whats model drumsticks promarks you use ?

I have a problem with him saying this rudiment is underused . I use this all the time in snare parts in band. Infact I didn't know this was a standard thing until today

I have the same "problem". I do everything left handed except sit at a kit, which I do like a righty. Unless of course I am doing a fill, which then goes back to left hand lead. I have decided that instead of fixing myself, I will play my style and not worry about it. Sure, I can't play all of the crazy long and fast fills through the toms like some people, but the fills I play I am willing to bet would be harder for a righty to play. Be you at the kit baby!

hey jared, thanks for this cool lesson. and you're right bout we drummer must use this. or else what's the point of learning these rudiments. and i hope you're gonna do some lessons for other rudiments too =)

I don't know if you guys have warm up exercises videos, lately I've been very sloppy also I was just sitting on the drums and started playing, that might have been it

Do a video on the 17 stroke roll!!!

gorgeous

Thanks cool video ! But i really don't know where i can put this, i play mostly rock music that's might be very hard !

it so nice....

dude do you play in band jared? i wanna see you play your an awesome player

I have the EXACT same "problem". I do everything left handed except play drums, which I play like a righty, unless I am doing fills, which I go back to left hand lead. I have been playing set for about 8 years now. I have decided that instead of trying to "fix" myself, I will play fills that are natural to me to play, which will be unique. Sure I can't play the 64th notes around the toms in some speed metal songs, but the fills I do come up with are probably a bit harder for others to play too.

hey men... what cymbals use you.. and measures are those that are wearing video cymbals?

where can i get a shirt like that?

Thank you. I like your cat videos.

Paradiddle vs five stroke roll what is the main difference they sound like when playing fast

YESS!

I love all your lesson! it really helps and fun at the same time too. :D

Man you should check out Aaron Spears! Hes left handed but plays a right handed setup, he leads most of his fills with his left hence the reason why they are so intense and hard if your right handed!
