vferrera Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 This is from the perspective of a horn player who is just looking for information: For a typical DCI World Class level drummer, what is a reasonable number of notes per second that can be played for a sustained time period (e.g. 30 seconds) For example, at 120 bpm, quarter notes = 2 per second eighth notes = 4 per second sixteenth notes = 8 per second 32nd notes = 16 per second what is the limit? What rudiment allows you to play the fastest (max notes per unit time)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow Adam Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 To answer the question - not as fast as they used to be! And if flams count as notes, then I would imagine the swiss rudiments (flam taps, swiss triplets) would be the way to laying down the most possible notes. Check out Niko from BD 2004 I&E snare solo on youtube. When he says "flam taps, even faster".... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFZFAN Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 To echo Adam - definitely not as fast as they used to be. I would submit the open roll as the way to pack the most possible strokes in any given time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would submit the open roll as the way to pack the most possible strokes in any given time. In the I&E piece I referenced, he basically plays flam taps at a very respectable double stroke roll tempo...so in essence he is getting 50% more strokes per unit time than just the roll by itself. Check it out, you'll be amazed. Go to you know where and search for Niko Jasniewicz Solo 2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow Adam Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 My favourite part of that solo is the invert-accents-heritas-accents-inverts transition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAFL Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 In the I&E piece I referenced, he basically plays flam taps at a very respectable double stroke roll tempo... I was going say use a triple-stroke roll...flam taps are pretty much equivalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storkysr Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) 32nd note double roll @ 200 bpm. (200 X 32)/4 = 1600 beats per minute. Just to put it in terms we can understand.....Not Easy! Edited for poor math, sorry. Edited February 20, 2010 by Storkysr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
