push pul... i finailly figured out how its done.. now i have to pratice it.. great
It's incredibly useful! I've been gravity rolling for awhile and just recently learned push-pull, it's alot more versatile, since you can transition to and from it in a instant and regulate tempo easily. I still prefer the gravity roll for blast beats though.
Push and pull is great fun, I use it alot on my ride with my right hand whilst doing ghost notes on the snare, gives it a bluesy feel :p

A one-handed drum roll will only impress other drummers.
The people that you need to impress are the people listening to your songs.
No, I still won't play Wipe Out.
That's not true at all, for example, alot of what I write and play cannot be done without these techniques, unless you're superhumanly fast with your single strokes, and even then it would be a waste of energy when you could do it one handed. Even if you play a slower style than I, you can make some incredible rhythms by incorporating push pull, the audience may have no idea what you're doing but they'll like it. You should never purposefully not learn something, you never know what ways you can imagine to use it, even if it seems useless to you.
I think to clarify what he means is that it's not as important as other aspects of drumming.........at least that's what I think he means. I know quite a few fellow pro drummers and NONE of them can play the one handed roll. It's a cool trick but down on the list of things to learn. Blessings............

i agree with shazane on this one. for instance the reason why im working on it is i want to roll and crash on every 3 in a 4 triplet count. and thats almost imposible to do without lifting one stick from the roll to crash and then it sounds less smoth than i want on the roll, so i would rather just learn one handed rolls with my left hand.

I'm sure it is for you but for younger/newer drummers like Davie, the cool tricks "can" be a distraction from other basics. All in all if you have lots of time to practice, I don't see anything wrong with learning this technique. I just don't like to see "tricks" being overemphasized. That's just my opinion. BTW what style to you play? Blessings.......
My style primarily combines groove and technical death metal, most of what I write is to follow the lead or rhythm guitar, what that insinuates is alot of shift in tempo and time signature. I try to make everything as complicated as I can, meaning a roll shouldn't just be a roll, I like to have a hand free to keep rhythm to it or play a fill, that's why it's not just a trick to me, but an essential technique.
Have you heard of something called a Swiss Triplet? I think it's like RFlam L R or LFlam R L
Play it backwards and it should go like LRF RLF. I'm sure that when you play it on a kit, after a bit of practice slowed down, you should be able to get a good sticking pattern going. IMO it's probably worth doing this more than learning one handed rolls because you have to get very good at them, otherwise they sound sloppy, but it's your decision.
So, LRF, and I think your left arm should start on snare, then move to crash, crashing with the second right arm, yeah? Then you do it again but with your right arm starting, then going to the cymbal, then crashing.
So I guess, snare drum wise, it's a single from one hand, then a double on the other. You seem like a very competent drummer, I hope you're able to use this and the one handed roll and see which you prefer.

Sounds cool man, push the limits. I'm sure you've heard of Jo Jo Mayer? He's not metal but has some techno/new wave/whatever influences that incorporate fast hand/feet speed. He basically said he wants to be able to play the beats (you'd normally program) and put a human feel and touch on them. Of course some just can't be done, but he's trying all sorts of variations/speeds/time signatures that are quite interesting. Take care. Blessings.......
hey thanks ethal that is realy cool. i like how it plays.
oh and middle man ive been known to practice 7hrs a day everyday for the past year i can handle the bassics.
play till the day i die. it makes more sense that way.

Sorry I was just going off of your video I saw. I've been playing 20 years and I still get "lazy" on some basics I need to go back to from time to time. Seven hours a day?...wow keep it up man that's awesome! Blessings.......

Yep, that's what I meant.
I've always believed that tempo and feel should be mastered first. Very few drummers can do a one-handed roll (myself included). Techniques like these should be considered only after you've learned the important stuff, and there a lot of things higher on the list.
