4 steps to build a buzz roll

a buzz roll is a complicated set of actions that should result in a simple product: a smooth long tone.

these exercises, which i literally still do every day i practice snare drum, break the buzz roll down into its
simplest elements and build it back up progressively into a full roll. those exercises include:

1. work on the individual buzzes, focusing on buzz quality, density, and shape.
2. match hands.
3. transition from R to L and then from L to R.
4. longer transitions to build it back into the roll in full.
