A press roll is a drum roll whereby the sticks are pressed down upon, so that they are not loose in the hand. This creates a different type of drum roll. When playing a press roll one needs to make sure that they are doing so evenly. This means that one stick is not pressing down harder than the other, making a lopsided sound. Press rolls aren't too difficult to master, but playing them evenly can take some time and patience.
