Stewart Hoffman discusses the buzz roll at his NYSSMA Convention 2017 workshop presentation.
A good buzz roll should sound even, seamless, and remain under control at all dynamic levels. The best drummers devote a great deal of their practise time focusing on it.
In Playing and Teaching the Buzz Roll – a short video excerpt from my NYSSMA (New York State School Music Association) Winter Convention snare drum clinic in Rochester, NY – band teachers will gain insights, and discover a couple of great exercises, to help guide their percussionists to a solid and seamless roll.
