This app features drum roll sounds that can be used to build anticipation for special moments, speeches and big announcements! From award speeches to satirical "announcements" about what's for dinner, these drum rolls are perfect for any moment in your life!

The classic drum roll is performed on a snare drum with drumsticks, but a drum roll can be performed on virtually any drum! Further, there are many different types of drum rolls. Can you tell the rhythmic difference between a single-stroke and a double-stroke roll? With this app, you'll gain access to amazing drum roll sounds that you can use to build anticipation before the big moment - whatever it may be!
