I noticed when talking about doing double strokes it was always described as

RRLLRRLLRRLLRRLL

Is that the best way to do them
What about RLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRL

couldn't you go twice as fast playing heal toe that way??? or at least play smoother.

Alternating like-- right heal, left toe, right toe, left heal and then start over?

If you can getyour feet to do that then it would make you faster. but lining your feet up like that can be hard i have thought of trying to do that before and have even tried it but it wasnt workin gout to well so i figured it would be easier to just build up straight doubles becasue you can get equal results jsut depends on how you want to do it.

just like snare rolls you practice more definite strikes to help speed control but when in use you are actualy controlled bouncing the second note. works great after getting it down
