[bit.listserv.allmusic] open & closed rolls

GRUTZ@UNTVAX.BITNET (Grutz @ UNT, but not doing music.. :)) (02/06/90)

Being a classically trained (and contemporary trained) percussionist, I think
I might be able to help you guys with this one.

The "closed" or "buzzed" roll differs greatly from an "open" or "rudimentary"
roll.  A good open roll will sound like someone doing sixteenth notes
really-really fast.  The closed roll will sound much like a humming bee in
that it will "buzz."

Curious as to how many drummers are on this list.  Is there a drummer/perc.
listserv around someplace?  Or do we have to make-do with ALLMUSIC ? :)
