B. Multiple Bounce Rudiments1.APPLICATION:* NOTE FROM MARK WESSELS (author of exercises, performing playalong files):In order to play the multiple bounce roll with a high quality of sound, speed is not adetermining factor. Each of the following exercises is written within a tempo markingthat is appropriate to produce the best quality of sound for a buzz roll (for mostapplications).As you work through each exercise, you'll notice that the "sweet spot" for hand speed isroughly in the middle of the tempo range. However, practicing throughout the range oftempi will give you the ability to produce the best sounding roll in a variety ofsituations. Drum size, musical style, head type, head tension, dynamic level, stickselection and performance space will all be determining factors in which roll subdivisionwill sound best!RECOMMENDED APPROACH FOR BEGINNING/INTERMEDIATE PLAYERS:The application of this rudiment is different from all the others in that you're notstarting slow and gradually working on faster speeds. Instead, start by learning to playthe 16th based roll subdivision in a medium tempo (exercise #4), then go back to #1(which is essentially the same duple subdivision, but half the speed). Next, work on thetriplet subdivisions (#2 and #5).The most difficult subdivision to master is the Quintuplet in exercise #3. Thissubdivision is not commonly found in band or orchestra music, but will produce the bestsounding rolls because of the lack of "lead hand" pulsations! You may also wish toexperiment with Septuplet subdivisions for slow tempos (overlapping exercise #1 and#2: m.m. 60–85). As always, use your ears to determine the best hand speed for yourmultiple bounce rolls.Good Luck!Page 3 of 14
