Can anyone tell me how to do a one hand drum roll. (really fast) ?

Answer 1

Theres 2 ways to do this. The easy way, which wont go as fast, but will still work. sort of. Then theres the extremely hard way where you have to learn 2 different techniques to do, but can go extremely fast. For the easy way, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freehand_technique and download the video of Johnny Rabb. For the hard, go to drummerworld.com, look up derrick pope, and watch his videos on the moellar technique and the "one handed drum roll". Remember, both take alot of practice!

Answer 2

It's all in the wrist. You must flick and flatter the wrist through the barb region.
