Double-stroke roll
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The double-stroke roll is a rudiment used by drummers and percussionists in a variety of music styles. Unlike the single-stroke roll, which is played simply by alternating strokes, the double-stroke roll also gives the player the opportunity to make use of any natural rebound given by the surface of the instrument being played.
R = right-handed stroke; L = left-handed stroke
The double-stroke roll: RRLL RRLL RRLL RRLL RRLL RRLL
This rudiment is often included in auditions such as for local Honor Bands or orchestras, normally in open, closed, open format. When using proper orchestral technique and matched grip, as the drummer speeds up, he should move to fingersnapping, and then to double-bouncing, which is striking the drum head twice per stroke, then to buzzing (multiple small bounces per stroke), and back out.
