Demystifying Doubles (PDF)
In my opinion, double strokes are one of the most divisive, poorly understood, poorly taught topics in drumming. And yet they’re absolutely fundamental to nearly all styles of drumming. Why is this? I believe it’s because there’s extensive confusion surrounding what double strokes actually are.
In "Demystifying Doubles", I take you through my concept for practicing, developing and applying double strokes to the drums. We'll go through:
-Getting in and out of doubles
-Doubles in different subdivisions
-Doubles with creative accent patterns
-Concept for using doubles in swing
-Roll Densities
-Applications in grooves
and more!
