Being left handed (non drummer) i like to use my left hand alot. I find that this gives me problems when doing rolls. Especially the ones that switch like in run to the hills.
I find that if i concentrate on starting the rolls with my right hand, i do much better. that one off note like the yellow from the red i end up hitting with my right hand every time. But if i start with my left then my right hand is hitting the last red before the yellow and throws it all off. ... kinda hard to explain that.
My question for a real drummer is are you taught to start rolls (especially the ones that sweep from left to right) with your right hand. or is it just because you're right handed? I was wondering if thats a habit i have to break.
Just for background on my playing. i play expert and have beaten all songs not named Fear the Reaper, Run to the hills (almost) and Wont get fooled again. My dlc blackened i havent beat.
