Here we are breaking down the buzz roll and looking at how we can apply it to make our drum beats more interesting.
Using Buzz Rolls In Grooves
Welcome to this buzz roll drum lesson. Here we will learn how to start using buzz rolls in grooves.
This is one of the fundamental drum techniques (sometimes also called a press roll) but many drummers overlook it and never really get the technique mastered. This is a big mistake because at some point in your drumming life you will need to play a buzz roll.
In this drum lesson we will learn the technique for a good buzz roll and then we will go on to look at how we can use it creatively in drum beats and fills.
Adding a buzz roll to grooves and fills can elevate them to a higher level and make them sound very interesting.
