I'm not a drummer, but I feel like buying a practice pad just to rejig my rhythm fundamentals in my head now! Also, I had to laugh (sorry) at the early anticipation of the "four" in the 60BPM count-in ;-)

Love drumeo but I'm sorry... but this is not HOW you do double strokes.
there should be one hand movement (down then and a bounce up) per stroke...you are showing two hand movements per stroke which misleads people trying to learn.

[harrywang]

Is it more like a double single stroke？

[Stack-]

I’m kind of weird. Even though I’m right handed I always start with the left hand on double strokes

[aninjatuna]

This is just two singles strokes on each hand... not correct.

dats cool and nice but 2 things, why double strokes with 16teenth? i wanna play thirty seconds note with it so the tempo is way higher than in the beginning. and why you not talking about physics?

[meetalimistry]

Notes shoud in first should have one line on it as it reapresentes 8th note no double line wich reapresents sixtinth note

Can't do this this
Because I'm a kid drummer

[Dragon-Slayr]

These rolls are from tobacco roll ups, so one has been flushed down the toilet and the other one is floating because of the miss match and now is pointing @ 11 😭

[ElrondMcBong.]

Those are not double strokes! That's just two single strokes per Hand.
