I always try to keep my wrist speed as close to my finger speed as possible. Wrists provide the full power, and control necessary to make that roll sound clean.ĭeveloping speed in your wrists also allows you to do more with finger-based techniques when you combine both elements together. Playing double stroke rolls on a low floor tom, for example, just doesn't sound right when played with finger-based techniques. One thing many people overlook is that you get significantly more power when playing with wrists. There are a number of good reasons to develop and eventually combine both methods. However, I would argue that maintaining wrist speed, power, and control is extremely important - even after you have learned to play finger techniques. Playing with your wrists comes fairly naturally for most people, so it's an obvious starting point. Most people don't rush out of the gate with all sorts of amazing finger-technique, and thus they have to start with the basics. In the weeks ahead I'll follow this lesson up with two more covering finger techniques and combinations of wrist and finger techniques. In this particular lesson, we're going to go over the wrist technique and the advantages it offers. You can play each stroke using your wrists, your fingers, or combinations of both.
