Juggle Roll

Week of September 30

Here is the first weekly video tutorial brought to you by Back-Stick Beat. This weeks topic is The Juggle Roll.

I chose this roll as the first of this series because it has a nice left handed Back-Stick beat right in the middle of it.

Used mostly in marching this trick roll can be adapted to the kit and other aspects of your playing.  It is best to get a feel for the movement of this roll by starting off at a slow tempo. However, it is my experience that once you pick up the pace, the momentum of this roll helps you maintain the juggle.  Practice Practice Practice.

The sticking is (R)RR(L)RRLL…. (R) is the right hand grab stroke (L) is the left hand Back-Stick beat.
