Agree. I have seen many, but they always seem to miss explaining an important part. Like e.g. the part about bouncing the doubles instead of trying to hit them as singles.
My favourite rudiment also and I love the exercise for developing it. First heard this rudiment by the late great Skip Prokop of Lighthouse when he had a band called The Paupers back in the 60's. Check out the drumming on the Magic People cut. I slowed the record down to 16 1/3 rpm to hear the sticking. I know I'm dating myself but I'm still having fun drumming at 77.
Thank you for breaking down the application of the 6 stroke roll. For the longest while I've tried to understand how to apply this 6 stroke into my drumming around the kit. Now I understand how it goes!!! 😊😊😊
Splitting the rudiment into two halves helped me see that it's really the second half that I'm struggling with. I think I've been practicing left hand ghost notes on the snare so much lately that my right hand diddle is super weak!
Bro i played the drums for 6 years. And this exercise should not even be free😅 cause i would buy it for 3 hours i am in my room have my drum stick and doing it on my pillow for 3 hours and i wouldnt even stop playing it. I am amaze what 3 hours look like after all this warm up thank u
@tedwardsdrums if I did Have 10 million account I would subscribe for 10 million times keep up the great work bro. you are doing what G.O.A.T stuff have a blessed day 🙏
What are your thoughts on playing the two single strokes first followed by the two double strokes with playing the singles as eight notes and doubles as sixteenth notes. You could come in on beat 3 of the measure and would have 3 & 4 e+a. Then you could crash on beat one of the next measure. Thanks
Yes you can absolutely play the six stroke roll in the traditional 8th and 16th note pulse! I’ve just found through the years that slurring the notes all together into sextuplets has more applications
