So when I've been on the forum I've mainly been complaining about my left wrist not being able to keep speed with the single stroke rolls I've been wanting to do. But the thing is I've been getting frustrated as I've been trying to do fast rudiments using just my wrist when really I should be using my ring finger. I'd be burning out my wrists and then hardly being able to play properly at all towards the end of the week.
From now on I will be trying to do as much drumming as possible using less of my wrist and more of my fingers, I thought the reason I wasn't able to get the speed I wanted was because I didn't physically condition my wrists enough, but really its about technique. Advice to anyone wanting to build up speed and play single stroke rolls fast, build up your finger strength, this video helped me out quite a lot
