Re: single stroke roll speed


The Finger technique your were talking about where he bounces the stick with his back fingures is called the "flying fingers technique" . Spikeydrummer on youtube has a very good video on this technique, he wears a tigger suit lol, check him out. But I wouldnt suggest that for fast singles only for blast beats because your hands dont move much around the kit during those. That technique probably wont work with fast rolls around the toms and what not, instead for that i just say practice practice practice. Take your max BPM of playing straight singles with a metronome and record it every week, then you can see the improvement as you go along. Right now im about 200 bpm with my singles and im shooting for at least 230 by next month, set some goals and work hard, youll be there in no time.
