Lesson 4 - Multiple Bounce Rolls
Orchestral Fantasies
Orchestral rolls are also known as "Buzz Rolls ， " "Pressed Rolls" or "Multiple
Bounce Rolls." When rolls are notated in rudimental drumming music, it is assumed that
double stroke rolls are used. If the roll is to be played as a buzz roll then a "z" is used on
the note stem instead of slashes. In an orchestral setting, it is usually assumed that the
rolls are pressed or buzzed.
Orchestral rolls 也被称为"Buzz Rolls，"、"Pressed Rolls"或"Multiple Bounce Rolls"。当在
rudimental drumming music 中标记滚奏时，假定使用了 double stroke rolls。如果这个滚奏是作为一个 buzz roll
来演奏的，那么在音杆上用“z”代替斜线。在管弦乐队中，通常认为滚奏是 pressed or buzzed。
An orchestral roll is a drummer's way of playing a sustained note. To execute this, it
is best to play off center on the drum head. This is where the drum head has the most
resonance and will give the best illusion of a sustained note.
orchestral roll 是鼓手演奏持续音符的方式。要做到这一点，最好偏离鼓面中间。这就是最能产生共鸣的地方，也能给人最好的持续
音错觉。
Orchestral rolls should generally be the same hand speed regardless of the tempo.
So, a quarter note roll at a fast tempo will get fewer strokes than a quarter note at a
slower tempo. I find that odd numbers work best for orchestral rolls, especially longer
rolls. Try to end on the opposite hand that you start with when playing orchestral rolls.
This gives the illusion of no pulsation because it is hard for the listener to detect the odd
number. When pulsing rolls in 16th notes it is very easy for the listener to detect the
pulsation, which is what we are trying to avoid when playing orchestral rolls.
不管拍子的快慢，Orchestral rolls 手的速度应该是一样的。所以，快节奏的四分音符比慢节奏的四分音符击打次数更少。我发现奇
数最适合管弦乐，尤其是长滚奏。当演奏 orchestral rolls 时试着用另一只手结束。这给人一种没有脉动的错觉，因为听者很难觉察奇数。当
滚奏是 16 分音符时，听者很容易察觉到脉动，而这正是我们在演奏 orchestral rolls 时尽量避免的。
The etude in this lesson uses dead strokes where the stick is pressed into the drum
head to create a slight buzz, but is a rather short articulation. The two note heads
together in the second and third lines of the etude means both sticks play dead strokes at
the same time. The length of the buzz is up to the performer and may change depending
on the context of the music.
本节课的练习曲使用 dead strokes，将木棒 pressed into 鼓面，产生轻微的 buzz 声，但这是一个相当短的发音。在练
习曲的第二行和第三行中两个音符同时出现，这意味着两根木棒同时演奏 dead strokes。buzz 声的长度由演奏者决定，可能会随着音乐的
背景而变化。
