A new chop uploaded every day for 50 days. This series originally comes from Instagram @sirosvaziri #50daysofchops #chopoftheday

Sticking: RLKK, looped around in any number and subdivision to form chops. For example, the first roll I play in this video is played as 32nd note triplets, and the second roll is played as straight 32nd notes.

A lot of times when you hear someone play a super fast roll on the drums, especially in rock and metal, what you're hearing is often this. The RLKK sticking (often refered to as 'quads') is one of the most fundamental building blocks of rolls and fills in many genres. For me, this was the first chop sticking I ever learned, and it stuck with me for a long time as it helped shape my fill intensive style of playing the drums, even up to today. You can get very creative with quads if you want to, or you could just go for that straight forward rock/metal sound. Whatever floats your boat!

For anyone interested, this is the mic setup I'm using:

Audix D6 pointing in a few inches inside the bass drum
Audix i-5's on the snare, one on top and one underneath
Sennheiser e604's on both toms
AKG C 391 B a few inches underneath the hihat
Two Samson C01 mics placed behind me to my left and right, pointing in towards each side of the kit.

All mics are run through a Phonic 808 Firefly U audio interface, and hooked up via USB to my Asus laptop where the audio is recorded and processed in Cubase 7.
