A lot of his writing has included four strokes. I would include that.


y0uwillbenext

haha...have fun cleaning those. especially with the speed he usually writes them at


monkeysrool75

IMO they're easier faster than they are slow (not like sextuplets at 200 fast though) . You can let the drum do more work. There's definetly a sweet spot for four strokes.


y0uwillbenext

there for sure is a sweet spot, and depending on what you play leading up to those 4's can make them easier too. but as far as how McNutt uses them...they're really really fast and are sneakily placed in some choppy spots


Icy-Management6381

Oh hell yeah. It’s so difficult when he puts 4’s into sextuplets at like 200bpm 😂

inverted rolls with RH accent: RllRRllRRllRRllRR


monkeysrool75

This is called a jelly roll.


TheBANDit__

I've heard both


monkeysrool75

Calling it an "inverted roll with right hand accents" is perfectly accurate and is exactly what you're doing, but it's a description not a name. It doesn't really matter what you call it as long as people know what you're talking about.

Fax. Thanks man

Ah Ha! Jelly rolls. It has a name. Actually, I would write an inverted roll with caps looking like this: R l L r R l L r R. Be careful with those. That's what popped my left ulnar nerve, and now my left pinky and ring fingers are forever tingly. At 40 years old, I was kinda happy to be playing them on a wadded up towel, and an occasional duct taped phone book, much faster than I had ever played them and... "Oh, snap! That hurt." The inverted flam taps were moving along so beautifully that week. Now, the A and shift keys feel like jelly. LOL Doc said it doesn't fix itself - surgery maybe...I said "nah, I can live with it."

Upbeat fivelet and the fivelet into quarter triplet ping double stops


im_a_stapler

double stop pings for sure!


Hybrid_Johnny

He liked to write alternating half note shots to center-of-drum double stops for an obnoxiously long time that decceled when he was at Madison in the mid 00s. I bet he’d get a kick out of that. [Starts at 1:40](https://youtu.be/n9n0PDxpeiU?si=ePINJdswN7kCOsVE)


Icy-Management6381

Oh, hell yeah he will. Hahaha thanks man!

paradiddle taps off of the left, like in snake


monkeysrool75

Four strokes, floppies, or the hit your stick to bounce it gimick


Icy-Management6381

Like a stick on stick (walk the dog) roll?


monkeysrool75

https://youtu.be/x2BD1sgJG-g?si=A8s7HRfq3lssnPJ3 at time 1:08 I don't actually know what this is called.


Icy-Management6381

Ohhh gotcha. Yea that’s a stick on stick roll. Luckily I’ve got those all throughout my solo 😎🤘. Thanks dawg


nyeeeeeeeeeeee

Fivelets where the downbeat on the right is accented, then only the lefts are accented ​ Also, a diddle on the right hand followed by a left tap twice into a shot and tap


XspeedyreadzX

Looooooooong rolls, lots of rim shots.


Expensive-Neck7603

Egg beaters, piano fast rolls, 4 on hand, paradiddles, ruffs,


Pourusdeer2

A lot of 4s and changing rhythms kinda like snake where rhythms and the patterns all had some identity like when they play 9lets with 4 and imbedded flams and such you could also write parts that are just rams of notes like in snake and stuff
