Double stroke rolls were one of the hardest things to get comfortable with when I first started playing the drums.
I finally got the hang of them after a while, by sheer luck. It wasn’t until I started teaching that I had to really think about how double-strokes worked and how to teach them effectively in a way that my students could understand and apply. I noticed that there were 3 main mistakes that were keeping my students from progressing:
- Poor Finger Discipline
- Uneven Bounces
- Improper Hand Motion
I break down each of these mistakes and give you some tips on how to conquer them in my latest video.
