open roll

role. [English] A tremolo effect performed on a drum (or almost any percussion instrument) using a continuous series of strokes. In short, the roll is a method to produce a sustained sound on a drum. Rolls are used on other percussion instruments such as the marimba and the xylophone to sustain the sound.

In rudimental solos, rolls are assumed to be open, unless the music indicates a buzz roll; on solos that aren't specifically in a rudimental style, the rolls should be closed. Buzz = closed = multiple-bounce. Open = exactly two notes per hand motion, regardless of the sound.

So we're going to continue with the 7 & 9 stroke rolls explaining it in terms of open rolls to the seven stroke roll is 2 4 6 7. 2 4 6 7. So one E and uh one E. And uh one E and uh one E.

We know the The Strokes they're predictable right right left left repeat uh with a buzz roll it's just right left right left right left. But.

phrasal verb rolled about; rolling about; rolls about. British, informal. : to arrive or happen again. We'll be better prepared the next time the elections roll about.

"Open, closed, open," also referred to as "open to close to open," or "slow, fast, slow," consists of beginning a drum rudiment very slow and controlled, speeding up evenly until at the maximum speed for the drummer, then slowing back down after maintaining that speed.

These rolls are introduced as “closed” rolls (using multiple bounces), from which the student can transition to a double bounce “open” roll. The rebound stroke is the main stroke used for all single strokes. The stick should move smoothly down and up, and all fingers should remain loosely on the stick.

The snare drum roll is produced by hand alternation of double strokes. The "open roll" is produced by [initially] slow hand alternation. Two strokes in each hand alternately are produced by wrist movement and each beat should follow its predecessor in clock-like precision.

You want to have the back finger slightly off of the stick. Then rotate you see how my back fingers are off I keep them still close to the stick. But not in contact.

Nice clean strokes to start with once you've got those in place then you can change those clean strokes into buzz strokes like this. To make that sound a little tighter. Just speed up the strokes.
