    It's crazy how much faster you can go when you progress through levels at a time like this!

  • @castlehilldude
    @castlehilldude 10 років тому +233

    The single stroke roll is a paradox. It is the easiest rudiment to learn, but the hardest one to play well. Left, right left, right - what could be easier? That is, until you play it at higher tempos. The challenge is not only to go fast, but smoothly and consistently as well. This is a great aid buy the way. To those of you with burning arms - that is entirely normal. Just be careful not to injure yourselves by overdoing it. :) I barely reached platinum - I have much work to do!

      Thanks for saying this cause although I know I’m better than most at the single stroke it still feels so difficult sometimes to get it right at high speeds and have it sound so perfect like this so thank you I feel better now

    Day 4 : A little less struggle with Platinum 2.

  • @clifftrieling6052
    @clifftrieling6052 Рік тому

    Been doing this for a couple years, cresting the last level of diamond but it gets progessively hard to keep the stick's momentum juuuust right for the rebound right about then. Been using it for double bass as well, that's at the last Gold level now!
    Although i gotta say, that intro sound when you're using headphones while drumming isn't very polite to your eardrums xD

    @DenizardMoraes 5 років тому +1

    it is supposed to use rebound on all exercise, mainly at the faster tempo or do we have to burn out our arms and wrists? Thanks for helping

    • @mackenziesisson6467
      @mackenziesisson6467 4 роки тому +1

      ik this is late, but there should be more rebound at faster tempos; when first starting out you typically use your whole arm to control the stick, and as you go faster most of the movements begin coming from the wrists and fingers; the stick does most if the work, you’re just telling it where to go. The stick height should also be closer to the drum head as the tempo increases. The more you practice you begin to develop muscle memory and you will continue to build speed from the repetitive motions. Hopefully this helped!:)
