Wow just noticed the action on my old post. Rocky, sounds like you learned the way I did.
Jeff, Sounds like you also do the same stuff but it may have been named differently.
This is a 3 part system I learned to play the roll. It took months to work through. Step one- no bounce Step two- controlled bounce Step three- bounce
By the time you actually get to the bounce stage your technique is strong and your wrist is following the stick and your bounces are clean and fast.
Larry, No one ever said not to use the rebound of the drum. I think some of the other posters may have gotten a little confused.
This system is the system I learned and played the Buddy Rich Snare drum book with. I studied this with a college professor who was one of Henry Adler's most successful students. I do believe that the three step system came from Mr. Adler as most of the techniques he taught are what he learned from Mr. Adler.
