Welcome to the buzz roll drum lesson. Here we will learn how to play a buzz roll on the snare drum.
This is also known as the press roll. It is an essential drum technique that many drummers overlook.
I believe that every drummer should know how to play a buzz roll to a reasonable level. It can be used in the traditional drum roll sense but it can also be broken into smaller chunks and used in a very musical context within beats and fills so it’s applicable to every style.
We also look at various ways we can use the buzz roll within music during this lesson.
