Description

A kick roll is a very fast repetition of kick drums usually achieved by a real drummer by using two kick drum pedals. Of course on a drum machine or sequencer, you just tell it to do a heap of kick sounds in a row. So how do you do it with the mouth? Well, there are three methods as shown in the video...

Methods

Method 1 - Combo Kick Roll

This is a lip oscillation + rolling 'r'

Here is a short MP4 audio example:

Method 2 - Classic Roll

This is a classic kick (b) + repeated classic reverse kick (wB)

Method 3 - Uvular Kick Roll

This is a lip oscillation + uvular oscillation.
