how long did it take for u to play double strokes?!

[turbochicken]

if i remember correctly,

open stroke: stroke as per normal; hands open up when stick down onto snare, let the stick bounce off the snare naturally and pull stick backup with hands gradually closed - starts off from high, down to snare, back to high position ie high hit high

close stroke: stroke and stay; hands open up when stick goes down, but when it hits the snare, you close your hands to grip the stick and contain the bounce - starts off from high, down to snare, hands closed with stick just above snare ie high hit low

yah man thats pretty close.

i think everyone has a different way they approach playing doubles, u just got to experiment with wat suits u.

its official... i can only double stroke 32nd notes at 80bpm.

i went on the vicfirth webbie and played along to their practice beats and realised how weak my left hand is!

really determined to put in the hours of hard work now. :evil:
