Displaced Doubles

The double stroke roll is one of those rudiments that take a day to learn, a lifetime to master. It's also a rudiment that is easy to play poorly without realizing it. Many drummers unknowingly accent the first stroke on each hand when playing a basic double stroke roll -- something that this lesson will aim to remedy. As usual, we'll find a drumset application or two as well.
