Well, i just took 20 minutes at my drums working at how to do the single handed roll. It was really annoying at first, but then i started to get how to do it and so now i can do it. I'm pretty happy now, but i don't think i'll be using it anytime except to show off.

Ya which way do you do it? Do you slam it off the rim like everyone else or is it legit?

Ummm....it's not really possible to do a steady single handed roll WITHOUT using the rim as a fulcrum...

Yeah Johnny Rabb is the one who mainly teaches the one handed rim roll. If you can show me a vid where he doesn't use the rim, then I'll concede the point.

Also, that thing he does where he lays one stick on the drum and hits that stick with the other stick causing it to roll doesn't count.

I can't do a single handed roll. But I CAN single handedly eat a cheese and tomatoe roll no problem.

Johnny Rabb isn't the only one who plays single-hand rolls. It's possible to play it without the rim. I think it was Damo(?) who posted a video of himself doing it...I don't know where the hell it is now:confused:

I use the single hand roll all the time, its really handy.

[derryk]

i'm working on that.. the fulcrum thing i can do more or less, but it's just not practical. i don't get the buddy rich way though.. if anyone could take a minute and explain..

[drummer_mp3]

I know Buddy Rich was the champ at the single handed roll (without rim). He's intense. I use the rim.

[tidge88]

yeah i use the rim. Buddy Rich way is way too hard.

I have that vid, but no, he is actually using the freehand technique.

[PdoubleE]

i believe mangini dosnt use the rim but not absolut

[Jezen]

No he doesn't taking into account that he can play one handed buzz rolls, and 10 strokes per second with both hands.

You have all been pwned by flamacue... bow down to his cheesey tomatoe roll covered self.

[Jezen]

^^^^
So he's covered in cheese? Ahh that means his single-handed roll chomp isn't yet as clean as it needs to be.

Flamacue: Grab a metronome, and start your chomping slower, then work your way up to full speed chomp.

I've seen a travis barker vid and he was doing a one handed roll across the set(with out rim) My friend showed me in school once.
