Single Stroke Roll | Full Rudiment | 60 BPM

Enough talk, let's get to Drumming.

We're going to start our Single Stroke Roll at 60 beats per minute (also written as 60 BPM). If you're using the snare on your drum set, I know it can be tempting to start moving this around right away, but don't! Messing around is fun, but it won't serve the purpose of this snare exercise.

60 BPM is a good slow speed and I want you to use this time to focus on your hands in one place. Building this type of drum roll into something that is controlled and fast takes time, and especially at these slower speeds, you're able to focus on the important parts of how you're holding your drum sticks.

Repeat this video several times.

Take the time to rep this video several times, even if it feels slow. Don't blow it off! The point of this drum lesson and course, is to build your hand technique, and give your forearms a workout. By the end of this course your muscles should be burning!

Being able to take your time like this is one of the beauties of online drums, because no one is watching you, you can simply spend the time to get the reps in. As your playing, think about how amazing of a gift you're giving yourself, by putting in valuable time building your techniques foundation.

Remember:

if you want to get fast at drumming, you're going to need to spend a lot of time playing, and especially playing at a slow and controlled pace.
