The new JoJo video up on Drummerworld from the 2012 Musikmesse -- everyone seen it?
In the last upbeat of each phrase he's got this press roll thing that he plays with his left hand that lasts through the entire eighth note. How on earth is he maintaining such a consistent volume all the way through to the downbeat? Is he using the single-handed roll technique that he explains in one of his other videos that's up on Drummerworld? In that one he demonstrates the technique with his right hand in French grip, but not the left using traditional which is how he plays it in the Musikmesse video. I guess the concept would be the same, just with different mechanics due to the different grip?
The man can play some drums.
Sorry if this has already been covered somewhere but a search did not provide any readily accessible answers.
Thanks!
