I've been playing for about a week now, and I've been attempting to get better rolling around the kit, but I'm having trouble with technique.
Once I get to the floor tom, because I hit with my right hand first, I try to cross my right arm over my left to get it back to the snare in time to carry on rolling, this inevitably goes wrong, and if I try to wait till I've hit with my left to move back, it takes too long.
Perhaps I'm trying to go too fast, but I'd like to learn it. Any tips are appreciated.
Also, I've noticed that increasing my speed causes me to tense my biceps, which obviously will tire me out quicker, any tips for relaxing more yet keeping up speed? I use German grip if it makes a difference.
Thanks in advance.
