The basic strokes produce a single hit or notes while resulting in different sounds. They are produced by different movements.
The full stroke begins with the tip of the drumstick held 8-12" above the striking surface. The drummer strikes the drum and then returns the stick back up to its original position.
The down stroke begins with the tip at the same height as the full stroke, but upon striking the drum head, the drummer keeps the stick low (about an inch above the striking surface).
The up stroke begins with the tip of the stick hovering about an inch above the head of the drum. The drummer strikes the surface, then brings the stick up to full stroke or down stroke position.
In the tap, the stick begins at the same position as the up stroke and remains there after striking.
Verse1- When I was just 8 years, I closed both eyes for the dream, I slept in reality I woke to the screams, Everyday seemed longer in life, I live for the moment I have from a teen, sunlight in the mornings, Moons shines when the sunlight...., Bring life to the ones who are..., give me the strength when I’m touring, god bless everyone alive, Down here in reality the hard life, Live for the soul hard knock to survive, Nine to a five life’s not what I cried for, This games what I die for, Not music I’m smarter a real chore, Stay firm never detour, Tuned in the brain as you know that I seen more. Yeah, looking down at the barrel of my soul, Some say I’m heartless ..., I try to just do right, And survival’s a long fight, So I spread my arms and hope when I fall, God finds me a way to believe I’ll survive. Chorus- These words I revise, Focused on the prize, This all just a dream, Now open your eyes, I’m helping you see, That without you there’s no me, So I sit here and cry, Tears fall from my eyes. Verse2- I try to just ignore, Everything seems harder when you live, Life on the back foot, life on the floor, Open a path but your left with a closed door, imagination, These words are a curse of the nation, Good thing’s come last so I’m patient, Daily I pray coz I see Satan, So I fold my hands meditation, Ask god for some help medication, Tell him that I’m slightly impatient, I’m put on this earth for a lifetime vacation, But I try to just move on, Put the past in the past and I stay strong, Put a positive right when I feel wrong, Say to myself Strikey I come along, Way, so I gotta see it out no? Everyones got faith..., Carry on is it really a dream, Everyone say’s I should have been, I’m here giving it all, Never mind if I try and I still fall, Remember I carried on moving when I stalled.
