Drum Stick Technique | How to do a Single Stroke Drum Roll | Fast Finger Technique | Meinl Drum Pad

Single stroke Roll is just RLRL right?!?
The single stroke roll is the most common drum rudiment used on the drum set. It's often played in beats, fills, and drum solos. It doesn't matter if you are new to the drums, or if you have been playing for years, the single stroke roll is absolutely essential.

I’ve been playing for 40 years and this is the best basic lesson I’ve ever seen

Your the first ever drummer who has shown me what your actually doing with your fingers, I always though it was all in the wrist, many many thanks for that.

Been playing over 45 years from High School, Drum Corps and live studio session, concerts and Church drummer, this is the best teaching in under 10 minutes I've ever seen. Blessings to you!

This video is helping thousands of drummers in the world!

[abemichau]

After a half dozen video instructions by men it took a woman’s perspective and common sense to explain it. Thank you!

[crackityjones]

I swear the drum teachers i had when I was a teen never taught me this and for decades i never knew how to get past the fast wrist action to letting my fingers take over. Thank you!

[timothykelleher]

You’re a born teacher - this is terrific - thank you!😃🕊

As a 70 year old kettle drummer in a marching band in Australia, I like your hand exercises, I will be trying these out for sure to limber up my hands and fingers.
Thank you very much.
You are bright gem amongst the sand grains.

The best lesson on finger technique. This is what I needed and was searching for all these years. Thank youuuu

[Swimnomore]

What a great teacher you are. You make me feel like that Eve I at 70 can master the drums. Thank you.

[russellgores]

This is the best finger grip explanation I've ever seen! 2 minutes and I already feel more in control of the sticks! Can't wait to give it a week. Your drumming feels and sounds so great, and you are beautiful in every way thanks!

[vchris]

Thank you for sharing your techniques on training for this most fundamental skill in drumming--most unselfishly at that, I might add!

[drumgrampred]

Very good lesson. No frills just honest, basic work. Every young drummer should see this, and old ones like me too!

[SkiRedMtn]

Whoa, thank you! As soon as I started I could feel that THIS is the muscle movement that is so smooth on my dominant hand and chunkier with my weak hand.

Gonna employ this practice immediately. EXCITED!

I feel so lucky to have come across this lesson for FREE! Thank you, Akhamie. You covered everything I was looking for and explained it so clearly. Lots of practice ahead of me. Subscribed! Thanks again

Playing for 50 years, broke my left wrist last February slipping on ice. Though healed, I am 8 months later still reworking the fingers all over again. This is a great tutorial by a very thoughtful drummer and I am glad she put this up. I need all the help I can get.

[HITGFRY]

Man, I wish someone had shown me this a long time ago. Thank you lovely woman. This is a great tip.

[ricardomachadoperes]

I've been looking for a drummer who explains how to execute this technique for a long time. You managed to teach me what I've been trying to study, and I couldn't quite get it right because I didn't understand how to execute the movements. Congratulations on your high technical ability and for being able to clarify and teach in such a simple, direct, and cool way. God bless you!!!

[PenelopeFlynn]

This is why technique... knowing the mechanics of how a thing is done, is so important. I imagine how many drummers quit the practice thinking that they just didn't have the "talent" or the "magic touch" when all it was, was mechanics... being taught the proper technique. Thank you for dropping this knowledge!

[alexdondasse]

Thank you very much for these tips...God bless you 🙏🏾
