How to Use the Five Stroke Roll in Jazz Drumming

[@wesleyenglish5431]

wonderful and eye-opening lesson for an 85 year old newbie drummer. Many thanks.

[@boomerguy9935]

Better late than never! I'm 75 years old, been playing since I was 15 years old and the more I learn, the more there is to learn. Learning drums is a wonderful adventure. I started in rock and switched over to jazz about a year later, when I discovered Joe Morello's, "Take Five". He showed wonderful skill at a low volume. By the time I turned 18, I was moonlighting as a jazz drummer in local resorts, playing for dance parties and watching couples dance to my rhythm. What a great feeling! I've been playing part-time ever since. Also, learn all you can about playing with brushes which is another great adventure. Don't worry about speed. It will come naturally. Focus on time, volume and rudiments. I'm still learning and I try to practice everyday.

[@sanityinaseaofmadness7353]

Wow... This video is an overwhelming amount of ammunition for self-study. There are so many ideas here which, on their own, could lead to hours of practice/playing/fun. I wont claim that I'm going to try them all - but for 6 minutes spent on a very simple concept, I'd say this video is invaluable. I'm now a Maricle fan!

[@FatsacksAllday]

I love her snare sound, Thanks for the Upload!

[@JazzAcademy]

+Fatsacks Allday Glad you enjoyed her work! We'll be posting more lessons by Sherrie over the coming weeks! Please share the video

[@manysnakes]

Sounds great, and it looks like the cheapest, entry-level steel Tama snare you can find. Those things are like $50 on Craigslist all day.

[@OEpistimon]

A great player can make any functional instrument sound a million bucks, and with acoustic instruments ( like a drumkit ) that's even more obvious than with electric ones.

[@johnnyhelms9909]

So do I. How tight should the batter side of my snare be. It's pretty tight now but doesn't give me the rebound I want. I want that crisp snare sound. I have added a wider snare wire and tried adjusting the wire to different tensions but I can't seem to find that crisp sound. I'm a rookie so forgive my ignorance. My resonant side is table top tight and so is my batter side and I'm afraid to tighten it any more. Any suggestions? I'll wait for a reply. Thanks ahead of time.

[@johnanderson5192]

Sherrie Maricle is one of the worlds great drummers and educators

[@Geo-wc7jc]

No sweeter sound to my ears than a skilled a drummer

[@boomerguy9935]

She is soooooo much better than a younger player beating the daylights out of his/her kit with little-to-no skills. "If you can't play well, play loud!" Sherrie is a master!

[@KerryKennarddrum]

I’ve known about her - saw her at Weekend of Jazz 2023 this year. Thank you Sherrie for this video. I’m always doing rudiments around the kit - now to practice these new tips. 👍🏻👍🏻🥁

[@brentdietiker]

thanks Sherrie-I play sax all through school, now Im just a self taught drummer, I've been trying to work on my fills. Ill keep watching!

[@carmenmirandajunkie]

Wow! Great sounding snare. Smooth hands. Woman's got game.

[@carmenmirandajunkie]

Also, she has wonderful communication skills.

[@manysnakes]

I love the snare. I just commented this elsewhere, but it looks like a real low budget, 1980s Tama Rockstar DX. Like an Acrolite, it's hilarious to see this "cheap" snare in the hands of a master.

[@Aphrotat]

I like the ride too :D

[@BrianClem]

Wow. I can listen to her for hours! It's like gold for my ears! So much knowledge.

[@LanceCampeau]

one of those videos I keep coming back to...

[@DeanWuksta]

And not once did she say "hey you tube cats' and offer some corny life lesson, just clear instructions, which was very refreshing.

[@onemoremisfit]

Didn't drop any names either.

[@elvissorna8861]

Covered so much ground in only 6 minutes. Amazing player and teacher.

[@mrlozano]

This is a great video, and excellent teacher, clear, detailed explanation & demonstration. Would be nice to study with someone like that. Guess these videos are the next best thing. :)

[@coolmint853]

I would like to thank Sherrie Maricle for using her gift as one of the worlds Great jazz drummer's to helping & sharing her awesome drum skills with the world !!!

[@lukescriven827]

This was a really great lesson, Sherrie is a fantastic drummer and, even more importantly, a great teacher!

[@DolkkarToyznstuff]

Fantastic lesson. Excellent control, clean, accents and dynamics in their proper places, the push and pull naturally of the bar lines, etc. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheCymbalProject]

Wow that kit sound soooo nice. real tight and clear, I hear every single stroke.

[@GordonBagshaw-GBEnglishClass]

I have seen many giving lessons online on the drums. You are the finest teacher I've encountered so far. I imagine anyone having one on one classes with you is most fortunate. Thank you so much for doing this.

[@td-12kx53]

Great lesson! You are obviously a very accomplished teacher with a great amount of teaching experience behind you. I've always wondered how all those jazz drummer's did those little things and now, finally, I learn it's the five stroke roll! How on earth did I miss that over all of these years?

[@JazzAcademy]

Glad you liked it! If you want to see a full rundown of some of these fundamentals, check out this playlist kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXfJgmaaarF1qJY

[@td-12kx53]

Jazz at Lincoln Center's JAZZ ACADEMY checking them out right now! Thank you very much!

[@carolyndovo256]

I agree, great lesson!! I finally know how to play a 5 stroke roll. I will be practicing and incorporating her instructions. enjoyed your drumming. I look forward to watching some of your other lessons. As a female drummer, thank you for your inspiration.

[@DanMowry]

So inspiring! I'm nowhere near this level but I love your style, you teach very clearly and make me feel like I understand the concepts and have improved my drumming based on your lessons. Thank you so much for producing these videos! Really top-notch.

[@metallicarocks911]

Very smooth jazz playing, Sherrie! I am OK at jazz drumming, but I know jazz chops when I hear them, and you have them!

[@thesinglemaestro]

Amazing teacher and instructor. Belongs in ANU, UT and Berkely.

[@scottwcrews]

I love hearing the end of the tom notes sing when the vocal track pops back in

[@johnpenney5429]

I like how she used the sticking, feel and timing of the triplet to show how the 5 stroke can swing. She also illustrated (by showing, not talking) on how important it is to be loose when you're trying to swing! I'm going to work on this right now! I have gotten this feel (somewhat) by doing singles but doing doubles can be a greater economy of motion; getting more with less effort.

[@DennisYamaha1985]

Fantastic job Sherrie! LOVE the 32nds w/BD on the accented tap! Very well articulated, and great material! I'm def a fan.

[@doufusstyles]

about to started my 5 yr old daughter on drums it's so amazing to be able to show her endless examples of great female drummers of all ages on KZbin. Great lesson also Sherrie.

[@horizonofficial2827]

I have been drumming for about two years now and have really began to look into the jazz/swing style of drumming. Thanks for the great video and examples! This will definitely help me on my journey!

[@cdburke08]

I absolutely love this snare sound

[@spark_6710]

👍👏💜💜💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶💕💞

[@harpo9279]

Thanks Sherrie! Great lesson and greatly appreciated.

[@fepatton]

I'm glad to hear a pro talk about the floor tom "fighting back". I've wondered for years if I was just doing something wrong but never seen it referenced, and never had a teacher talk about it. BTE, it would be great to have a PDF that transcribed some of these ideas. Thanks for a great series!

[@bruthax-ray8366]

VERY professional, high quality, instructional video!!! That snare sound is worth a million dollars, wow!

[@drumcentral]

Great lesson Sherrie, looking forward to more!

[@TomGoldsmithguitar]

Drum Central me too!

[@-jpsimplygroovn671]

Drum Central :0)

[@MacMic333]

Nicely executed, clean and clear.

[@spark_6710]

Yes !! Being clean/ clear is one of the most important things when it comes to the sound & one of the most difficult things to do when it comes to musical instruments / music ! That sets you apart away from others ( both technically/ skilfulness & sound wise )! Pianos , guitars ,bases ,drums !!!,even vocals especially when we hit very very high notes ! 👍💜💜💜💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶💕💞

[@rimshots_only]

Sherrie, Sherrie Lady! Great lesson, great playing! Greets from Poland!

[@spark_6710]

Hello Poland !💜💜💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶💕💞

[@n0iseboy]

Great lesson. I've always really appreciated drummers using odd numbered patterns with a rest.. its that space between the notes that makes it so interesting.

[@jusphit]

wow. great vid. super quick teaching without skipping steps, and done at different speeds. good work. definitely subscribing.

[@ThoseLittleVoicesSEVRUN]

She's the mother of drumming I never knew existed! I want more Sherrie lessons!

[@barberjeff67]

That opened my eye to something that should have been quite obvious! Thanks, Sherrie! Great lesson!

[@spurts]

Clean. Great teacher. First time seeing her and I like her a lot.

[@spark_6710]

Oh.Me, too !👍💜💜💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶💕💞

[@doklgab]

Thanks you very much for this lesson. On a technical note, the white background really helps seeing the movements which is really interesting.

[@rmmccarthy1240]

You're a wonderful musician. Fantastic approach and thrilling application! It's a pleasure to watch you play. Thanks for creating and posting.

[@popcornsamurai]

What a great sound. I could listen to her drum all day.

[@sweetsweetjanice]

Very good lesson. One simple idea that can go for miles and is very cool sounding. Thanks!

[@brodmitkase]

Love sherrie! Met her this semester

[@Nullllus]

Love her playing. The kit sounds awesome.

[@kyloken]

Great! I would not mind taking lessons from her, she has a great sense of feel and has "swag."

[@single-mindedsoldierstudio832]

Supreme skills. Heading to the woodshed with this first thing in the morning! Thanks for sharing.

[@martinkent_]

Great playing and also such a great teacher

[@ludwigdrummer717]

... great chops and very well-planned presentation. Thanks.

[@unclestevie9841]

She’s great 👍🏻 really enjoyed these exercises!!

[@mickberry164]

Wonderful ideas. Thanks so much Sherrie! Keep up the great work. Mick Berry (co-author The Drummer's Bible/How to Play Every Drum Style from Afro-Cuban to Zydeco)

[@luiszuluaga6575]

I especially appreciate by the expression in her eyes the way she hears what she’s playing

[@Bob-nu3xe]

Great drummer and teacher great sounding kit many thanks

[@crushingbelial]

Really cool stuff. Lovely playing and nice swing style on the trades

[@Pigeon_1916]

Yupp....i need to keep practicing. She's a great drummer.

[@jjkerwin4677]

Absolutely fantastic!! I'm keeping you in my favorites.

[@bradlii]

THANKS SHERRIE!!! You blow my mind. (Literally.)

[@bobcropsey2550]

Wow! First time seeing you. Fabulous. You are my new hero.

[@ritahmargitau9172]

awesome, I like it, I am a Lady too, and drumming is one thing I enjoy doing, for how long have you been a drummer because you sound wow!

[@Fos3tex]

A gold mine! Very clean. I'm assuming the same principle could be used in other forms, such as 7 and 9 stroke rolls. Maybe they wouldn't swing, but comprise a good vocabulary.

[@phillalebbasro639]

Drums are awesome. 😄

[@spark_6710]

YES !!!💜💜💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶💕💞

[@jackee711]

would love to have her as a teacher, very well spoken and clear in direction, fantastic!

[@hubbadubchub]

Wow!! Such great and valuable instruction. Awesome lesson!

[@nielsmyrner]

Takes 9 lifetimes to swing that hard!

[@leemurray9330]

@Niels Myrner I knew I recognized your name! Your "intro to jazz" videos are what got me started on drums. What a fantastic little series they are. I appreciate you! Love and thanks from Youngstown, OH.

[@vladimirlopez7840]

What a great teacher! I wish she was close to me I would love to study with her.

[@SalvatorePerla]

Really nice clip and lesson.

[@drummztones4373]

Nice playing & lesson. Thanks!

[@freddysands]

Thanks Sherrie. Good stuff. Gotta practice now.

[@maximilliancunningham6091]

Quite a good demonstration. TY

[@kevsdrumshed9078]

[@drumsondemand1]

Great Lesson Sherrie!Thanks

[@GrandOldPainter]

She’s awesome! Such a great sounding kit also

[@PillsBuryDoughBoy_]

Truly is

[@themole2024]

Fabulous lesson. Thanks so much. Doubles on the snare are unforgiving. Got work to do....

[@vagamer4311]

i want to see sherrie again

[@thegamblefish]

Great lesson. Subscribed.

[@ThomasHope73]

Brilliant drumming and teaching!

[@bobsabin]

Will this help me play the intro to "My Pal Foot Foot?"

[@JazzAcademy]

+Robert Sabin Only if you play it very incorrectly

[@sonortubelug3853]

This is officially the best comment on KZbin.

[@math6844]

Not too many Shaggs references on KZbin these days

[@heckler73]

The secret to playing "My Pal foot Foot" is to apply a 13 1/2 stroke roll (using a baguette and wrinkly hot dog) in 7/11 time.

[@dibach70]

What a terrific lesson!

[@JazzAcademy]

+dibach70 Thanks! Check out more lessons from her here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYKqo3eDqc56kLs

[@druminaway1]

Great ideas. I also use the Swiss army Triplet RLLR. LRRL. In a triplet feel. Rudiments really make drumming easier.

[@vincentzito3933]

Damn it.... I thought I accidentally invented that....

[@murrayrose6307]

Really great stuff. Thanks for sharing.

[@johnnyofast5924]

Wow!! Amazing skillz,, incredible control. just WoW!!

[@Silvaterista]

She's great! Thanks for posting this video! What cymbals are those? She made them sound so good!

Really thank you for all the videos, can't thank you guys enough!

[@nogoogleplus]

Very pleasantly surprised by this vid, she was great. She had a nice open sound.

[@NewEraPolitics811]

Excellent drum educator!

[@TheGurner1]

Very nice, love your groove! Any tips on tuning the snare drum?

[@rosenfeld8]
