Part 2 - Snare techniques

This part should get on to basic snare rolls and stuff like that.  Snare rolls can be used as a fill or during a Guitar riff.

Fisrt of all is the most basic roll

S |oooooooo|oooooooo|oooooooo|oooooooo|

S |oooooooo|oooooooo|oooooooo|oooooooo|

Next is a roll that can be used whenever you want during a solo or it could be the basis of a solo.

S |o--ooo-o|oo-oooo-|o--ooo-o|oo-oooo-|

S |o--ooo-o|oo-oooo-|o--ooo-o|oo-oooo-|

The paraldille is a way that you can get a different volume just by using a different hand. learn the below partern. play it over and over again to get it right.

   R L R R  L R L L
S |o-o-o-o-|o-o-o-o-|

another way to increase the volume is to hit the snare harder.  this is shown with a larger 'O'.

S |OoooOooo|OoooOooo|OoOoOoOo|OoOoOoOo|

also you can hit the base drum to make it louder like this:

S |oooooooo|oooooooo|oooooooo|oooooooo|
B |o---o---|o---o---|o---o---|o---o---|

also you make a rool quiter by using ghost notes.  thes are noted as a 'g'
