inverted doubles... right. i learnt a new term.
are triples the Moeller stroke?
what about one handed rolls? would triples or doubles be more efficient?
doubles with feet, each foot plays 2 hits - is it heel-toe or two single hits?
man anything goes... as long as it rocks your boat :lol:
for feet double, you can have it any way you want, heel-toe, single hits, heel down, heel up whatever. if you like, u shld practice all of it. if time is a limiting factor, then practice only those you reali have to use.
as for double hands, one way of looking at it... you have an accent and a non-accent, hence you could practice it as
(caps for accents) RR rr Rr rR .... LL ll Ll lL
that makes it 4 different kinds of double strokes.
and, as you know, the hi-hat's surface being metal, is different from the snare, it got less rebound... hence, you may want to set aside time to practice doubles on hi-hats, and then doubles on snare.
depending on the speed, the note value and the tempo, your body starts to make micro-adjustments (whether consciously or subconsciously) to try to help you be able to play the stuff.
some of it is good, some of it not so good, and some if it bad (it hurt your body)
you have to constantly keep in awareness of what your body is doing, and listen to what you're playing.
this can be confusing for some.
best way of looking at it simple way?
keep questioning yourself and keep practicing!
