Carefully listen to the sound of each buzz. At slow tempos the strokes likely will not be connected. Even allowing for a break in sound between strokes. Allow the sticks to buzz for as long as possible. I notated the multiple rebound buzz with a Z rather than 3 slash 32nd notes. You will plays hands together and hands separately. The top line (stems up) is the right hand (R) and the bottom line (stems down) is the left hand (L). The following is one of the exercise I practice to develop a consistent buzz sound: Focus on achieving the same rate (speed of multiple rebounds) and length. That can only be achieved by having an identical buzz sound between each hand (stroke). Remember: “ There should be a smooth consistent sustained sound“. Closed Buzz rolls are without doubt the most common type of roll used on snare drum. There should be a smooth consistent sustained sound. The goal and objective is to have the end of each buzz flow into the start of the next buzz. The slower the stroke rate (tempo) the more rebounds. There will be an indeterminate number of times the stick will bounce for each stroke depending on the rate of the strokes. The Closed Roll allows the sticks to bounce multiple times for each stroke. Open Diddle rolls are generally used in marching band or rudimental style drumming. Which is historically why rolls are notated with three slashes since 32nd notes have 3 flags or beams. Similarly, 16th note strokes become 32nd note diddles. 8th note strokes (R L R L) become even 16th note diddles (RR LL RR LL). This is commonly referred to with the two syllable word: “Diddle”. The Open Roll allows the sticks to EVENLY bounce ONLY two times for each stroke. A single stroke roll is usually used on drums with loose head tensions such as toms and concert bass drum and percussion instruments with a long sustain such as cymbals, triangles, timpani and keyboard mallet instruments. The single stroke roll is rapidly striking the drum with alternating strokes (RLRLRLRL). There are three types of rolls: 1) Single Stroke 2) Open Roll 3) Closed Roll. So to give the “impression” that the drum is sustaining a note, we strike the drum head as often as we can – which is called a roll. Once you strike the drum, the sound almost immediately decays to silence. Wind instruments can continually blow air through the horn to sustain a note.
Stringed instruments can continually draw a bow across a string to sustain a note. The primary reason to “roll” on a snare drum is to sustain sound.
Not only for a concert percussionist, but also for a drum set player. Developing a closed buzz roll on snare drum is essential.
