Drummers get fast notes by bouncing the stick on the drum heads i.e. for one flick of the wrist you can get 2 or 3 notes. It doesn't matter how much tactile feedback you get, you're not going to be able to play like you can on the real thing.
- Sipaliwini 12y agoThere are things you can't do, like press or buzz rolls, but you can bounce off your palm and drum very fast this way. Take a look at http://youtu.be/iF8296Aai9k?t=2m28s http://youtu.be/iF8296Aai9k?t=2m28s (starts on a roll)
- Cshelton 12y agoIn rudimentary percussion, techniques similar to instructors like Paul Rennick, you actually do move your wrist twice for a double stroke. No matter the tempo. Staying very relaxed and letting rebound bring the stick back up so you can "throw" it back down is very crucial. But also, I can play articulate double strokes at a fast tempo on a pillow, but this requires your wrist to simulate the rebound with muscle, which is not recommend for long periods of playing. Unless you want very bad wrist problems later on. But every proper double stroke, even triple stroke is a wrist movement. The exception is what's called a "huc-a-dic", which is 3 bounces with each bounce being lower than the previous one. But each tap is still 'placed' to a certain extent so when you play on a line with other people, you are all together perfectly.
