Reallllllly fast drum rolls

as in. . . All nightmare long.

I can't quite keep up with them. It's not really a problem until i get around 75% of the way through when i need to start adding the bass in. Since I'm off rhythm with the drum roll I can't seem to keep the bass pedal right either and I tank :/

I could be wrong but i think i've seen people using a technique to get two hits with one flick of the wrist. Gettin bouncy.

So anyway, what did score hero do to be able to play fast enough?

The "Bouncy" thing your talking about is called "Double Stroking" it a really helpful valuable thing in drumming and good to learn early on like I did, As for fast rolls in game I don't recommend double strokes cause of the drums poor sensitivity so just practice single stroke rolls until All Nightmare Long becomes easier.

ok cool. I figured I would probably just have to play more and practice until i could just get up to speed but thanks for telling me what that Double Stroking is. It's been killing me to want to find out

Yeah, I hate that double strokes don't register
I started teaching myself after I began playing Rockband drums, and I HAD to pick up the double strokes quickly.
I honestly don't understand how your doing Expert without that technique... then again I can do almost all of the actual drumming, but I fail so hard on bass... which is why I'm stuck butt good on Hard

But for now, I'd suggest working on increasing your single diddles (hits)

Double Strokes don't register? This is news to me. Every WT/RB2 kit I've used has had perfect double strokes. Just turn up the sensitivity on the WT kit if it doesn't pick up the second hit. Make sure your second stroke isn't too light.

BTW, you should be able to (naturally) single stroke at almost the same speed as distinguishable doubles, and there's nothing on RB/WT that isn't single-strokable except visions, which would require 4 sticks to hit.

For sat rolls like that, I prefer to just accent every fourth hit I do, which allows me to stay on beat relatively easily. And looking at a video for All Nightmare Long, that's exactly where each bass hit is, in the beginning roll at least. On my Rock Band 1 kit, my double strokes pick up, though I don't use them for any rolls because it's harder to stay on rhythm for me.

Looking at the video more, the game even tells you to accent every fourth hit lol. The key is just staying on beat.

For the triplet rolls like in Ramblin' Man I'd simply do RLLRLLRLLR with bass drums on R's. Nothing really hard.

Realllllly fast rolls are killing me though. I can barely hit the rolls in Master Of Puppets' pre-choruses without missing a random note in the middle, and double-stroking gets too confusing to me. Maybe I need more practice. or a better drum kit
