The 40 rudiments › Roll family › Multiple Bounce Roll
The buzz (press) roll: let each stroke bounce into a sustained buzz — smooth, with no gaps.
The Multiple Bounce Roll is one of the 40 PAS rudiments, in the Roll family. Roll rudiments build a sustained sound out of singles, doubles, or buzzes.
Start slow enough to play it perfectly evenly, counting out loud or with the metronome. Keep your strokes relaxed and your accents clear. Once it's clean, raise the tempo a few BPM at a time using the speed trainer — clean and slow always beats fast and sloppy.
The Multiple Bounce Roll is part of Drumolo's free trainer. Open it, choose this rudiment, set a slow tempo and let the metronome grade your timing.
