- Here is a video all about improving your Double Stroke rolls. I have found that the best way to improve your doubles is by practicing short groups of double strokes. These exercises build strength in the wrists and fingers.
There is an explanation error in a few exercises. I am playing 16th notes with one hand while playing the 4 and 5 note double bursts, not 8th notes as I state in the video.
Other videos on this channel that deal with this topic are here:
Drum Set Doubles • Developing Double Stro...
Double Stroke and Closed Rolls • Double Stroke and Clos...
If you search the word "Double" on my channel you will find several more solos that feature open rolls.
The books featured in this video are available from me at rickdior@gmail.com
The sticks are 66-gram Zebrawood concert sticks and Cocobolo 85 gram chop building sticks with a barrel tip which I make and sell.
If you are interested in a pair, contact me at rickdior@gmail.com
What I especially love is whenever some brilliant drum instruction vid crosses my screen and it’s a hook for money ( sometimes quite a bit )and I’m ‘darn, wish I could get that & learn how to play it’- I then go to Rick Dior site & find he’s already covered it with in depth video complete with his book page. This is the very Best Drum site Ever.
Agreed! The BEST no BS content on the web!
I would love Ricky to slow down to Basic when showing these strokes. He is a brilliant technician though.
That was SPECTACULAR, Rick !!!! All of your videos and ideas are wonderful and super helpful…. And inspiring. But, now you’ve outdone yourself. BRAVO !!!
And WOW !!! Your DOUBLES are just OUTSTANDING !!!
This video is The Holy Grail, Rick. It's helped me find the effortless wrist motion to drop the stick, accept the rebound for diddles, and manipulate the moving fingers for multiple rebounds. You're so correct that these exercises build chops. Many Thanks.
Another excellent lesson, thanks Rick.
LOVE this Rick....thank you!
Thanks, Rick! Just what I need most.😁
Rick, could you please make a video or series about your recommendations for drumming and getting older. I’d love to hear any of your thoughts on health, diet, stretching, exercise, lifting weights /resistance training, drum technique maintenance, warm ups, etc. what you think IS or ISN’T helpful or necessary.
I’m 55 and still playing well but my body is changing, for sure. Any advice or thoughts would be wonderful. And I know there’s a huge crowd of us out there that are all getting older. Much Love and Thank You Very Much for all that you do for the drumming community.
I'm getting close to my 70th trip around the sun and what I would offer is simply daily practice. And push yourself in different ways but always do a "technique check" by slowing things down to make sure you're not fudging anything and that your motions remain consistent, correct and comfortable. Increase the tempo slightly in small increments at first and keep increasing little by little till you can no longer execute cleanly. Then back off to where you can. I also have found it useful, when I'm having difficulty executing something, to stop and evaluate where I might be experiencing tension since that's what's typically preventing me from good clean execution. It's not always in one of the limbs that you'd think was the obvious culprit and more often than not, it's in a completely different body part like the neck or even the face. Learn to identify these stress points and concentrate on "letting go." As we age we begin to feel more stress points since we often overcompensate for something. Aside from that, kick the booze, smokes, substances if you haven't already, get out for daily walks and maintain a decent diet of healthy foods. Keep up with your doctor appointments and if you have been prescribed meds, make sure you keep on your daily schedule. Try to maintain the child-like wonder at the process of making music too. It goes a long way in making you feel young. 😁
Thanks So Much, Gary… I appreciate you taking the time and for all of your tips. 🙏🤩🕺🏽😊
Thank you very much good hand control
Great 👍
Thanks. Again good class with notes. 👍
Super insightful as always, Rick! Thank you!
Thanks once again for another wonderful video.
This is excellent, Rick....thanks!
Thank you!
It's refreshing to see a drummer playing with traditional grip for a change..... Every drummer should be able to play with both match and traditional grip
👍👍👍
Thanks Rick! You’re lessons are excellent! I hear you saying diddles but hitting 3-stroke-rolls. Am I hearing it right? Do you recommend starting with doubles?
The last note is a continuation of the underlying 16th note rhythm I am playing throughout.
Please see the answer I posted to another question here that might help you understand the exercise.
@@rickdior Got it! For some reason, I thought you were hitting 3 strokes per accent with each hand (on the two-handed diddle exercise). I slowed down the video and saw they're actually diddles like you said. Thanks for clarifying!
I'm having trouble following exactly what you're playing for the first exercise so please let me know if I'm on the right track or not.
You're playing 8th notes throughout and diddling the notes shown as the rhythm, e.g. the 2nd beat of the first bar shows a note in the "e" position, so you play 2 as a single stroke, play a diddle on the "e" and then another single stroke for the "and". Does that sound right?
All of the written rhythms are played with two 32nd notes instead of the 1 written note. Those 32nd notes are played as doubles.
@@rickdior Just to make sure that I understand... The metronome is clicking on the 8th notes? If that is the case should your count in be 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and rather that 1234? Thanks
@@rickdior Thanks. Yes, I understand that, but the main thrust of my question actually concerns the notes that aren't played as 32nd notes, i.e. the notes that aren't part of the written exercise. Do you play them as 8th notes as you mentioned at the beginning?
Sorry if my question seems inane or stupid but I'd like to work on these and I just want to make sure I understand how they should be played.
Thanks.
I've just stumbled upon this video. The notes in-between the diddles are played as 16th notes; Rick stated this in the video description. Great exercise, looking forward to trying this. Thanks Rick 🙂
