How To Play A Triple Stroke Roll - Drum Rudiment Lesson

[@Its_Leauxsacks_Music]

These things are essential to have for any good Marching Snare player. Great tutorial

[@1drummachine20]

I use this a lot in some of my fills!

Thank you.

I've give it some time doing it SLOW on the practice pad because I'm struggling to make it sound CLEAN sped up.

Your first stroke is with your wrist and use your fingers on the last to strokes.

Where can I see that with my fingers behind? I don't want to learn how to use tweezers. Greetings

I’d love it if you could play along with a metronome.

I’ve struggled with this rudiment for years. Still don’t have it. It boggles me how I can play single and double paradiddles, 2 stroke rolls, 5 stroke rolls, 7’s, 9’s, 11’s…. But not 6’s and 3’s. Here’s my issue: I play Moeller, which for me basically means that every rudiment I play is simply a double stroke variation, so when it comes to groups of three, I can’t figure out when to return the stick with my fingers, and when to just let it bounce. Holding a stick at the fulcrum and just letting it bounce without any finger control freaks me out… it’s the same reason I can’t play traditional grip; I have no finger control with that grip. Send help 😂

Yeh these types of tutorials are so useless 'just play 3 strokes slowly then speed it up' is not at all helpful lmao There are certain things you NEED to speed things up that need explaining. Eg A Bonham triple of RLK The best way I have taught others is to explain that it almost feels like your galloping on a horse Especially if you use hat pedal on the first beat The way your hands do two hits and your feet so two hits but that you first hand strike is at the same time as your second foot hit is like your arms holding the stirups and feet bouncing in the foot rests if a galloping horse. It feels 'wavy'. Like two slightly out of sync waves between hands and feet You NEED that feel to play it fast. And you CANNOT develop that feel playing slow. So just saying 'start slow and play faster' doesn't help explain how to play it fast With triple stroke which I do struggle with too the times I get it right it's like a double stroke with a bounce for second stroke with fingers tightening to get the 3rd stroke in. Almost like how a shuffle groove hits 1st and 3rd note of a triplet (TRI (ple) LET) with the TRI being an accented down stroke and LET being a soft upstroke. But for triple stroke roll make the first hit a double Shuffle TRI. (ple). let Down. Silent. Upstroke Triple stroke TRI (ple) let Down. Bounce. Upstroke Still damn hard but it's impossible to do 3 distinct hits on one hand at speed

That’s not a roll at all. Those are just triplets. Where is the speed? Search for the opening roll of La Gazza Ladra, Berlin Philharmonic 1973 . That is a triple stroke roll. It’ll give you goosebumps. Also, you’d NEVER be able to play this roll using fingers and wrists. It’ll sound pulsed and awkward at high speed. You have to use only arms.

He plays crooked, the third stroke is crooked in rhythm, but he speaks nicely. It's a disaster. I'd rather call it "how not to play triple stroke roll."

[@RuFi0000000]

What do you mean by crooked? Are you saying he's crushing the third stroke or something?

[@thekid675]

Lol you really said "crooked".. Maybe you should get off the internet and work on your grammar instead, kid.

[@johnwooton]

Hmm. Can you show me how to do it?

[@veot.2869]

Back seat player...🤮

@@RuFi0000000 He's saying that the instructor isn't playing as clean as he'd expect it in a training video. I agree, it's a little bit off the grid. That's a fair point to make, regardless of one's own drumming proficiency.
