I used Sure Beta 98's

Ok I just went back to “The Beat”, and the Chord of Bill’s Simmons drums was a step higher…

It’s the easiest way to get clean doubles on hand drums

@@Gk2003m I’m still not sure how he’s doing it though.

@@jameschristie1182 Start slow. Hit with the heel of your hand, keeping the fingertips off the head. Let the fingertips fall to the skin as a consequence of the heel hit… almost as if there’s a fulcrum between your palm and your fingers. Just do that for awhile til you’re getting slow, consistent doubles. When you’ve gotten that, begin to increase speed. You’ll notice that your hand naturally pulls in toward your body as the speed increases.

@@Gk2003m thank you for that! I’ve been working on it for years. As 3 stroke ruff type embellishments .. 5,7 etc. stroke rolls. I’ve also been working a long time on fingertips first then heel on doubles….but I’ve not yet developed the inward motion on the doubles. I’m going to dedicate some time to developing that. Thanks again I really appreciate it!
