well a drum roll is a combination of double strokes on both hands, RRLL, practice this on a bouncing surface first, get a practice pad for better results, a metronome to track your improvement and voila!, you'll have a drum roll when you perform fast double strokesWww@QuestionHome@Com

basic roll technique is called a double stroke!. you move your wrist once but let gravity and velocity cause the stick to bounce twice!
There are key elements to a proper grip that cannot be adequately explained in writing, but without a proper grip on the sticks, your rolls will always sound crappy!
Get private lessons, or at least go to the best drummer in your school band (if you are school age) and ask how its done!Www@QuestionHome@Com

There's a roll and a buzz!. A roll is either 2 or 3 hits per stick and is practiced by starting slowly and then increasing speed and then slowing back down!. Each time you practice you try to increase the speed without pushing it too much!. A buzz roll uses the same tech but crushing the sticks so there's multiple bounces!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is impossible to describe in words, ask your band director/instructor to show you, if your not in band take some lessons, and remember practice makes perfect!Www@QuestionHome@Com

it's a bit hard to explain!.!.!. listen to your favourite songs over and over again, and try it on your drumkit!.!. you should be able to do it!. learn by ears!.!.!. that's what i do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ask your band teacher or someone about the proper technique!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
