Tambourine 2: Rolls / Vic Firth Percussion 101

[@BigAlWillis]

some dude did a thumb roll in band class but wouldn't show me how he did it. That was 35 years ago. now I know! thx

[@LaurenSpavelko]

I really like this series. Very useful as a composer to get acquainted with all the percussion!

[@toddwarren3452]

Glad to see quality percussion videos like yours. Helpful for percussionists and composers all the same.

I AM HERE FOR THE THUMB ROLL!!!! NICE

[@flylooper]

Fascinating!

[@JustWalkJapan]

For composing -- how do I notate a shakeroll with staccato drum taps on the quarter-beats?

[@RikardPeterson]

I'd write quarter notes with tremolo strokes on them and leave the details (shake roll vs finger roll…) to the percussionist playing the piece. Let them work it out from the dynamics you've written!

[@JustWalkJapan]

@@RikardPeterson Thanks. That sounds like a good idea - the percussionist will know a LOT more about it than I do.
