Another way of contrasting the C-to-C roll and the Sweep roll is this: In the sweep roll, the paddle blade is weighted during the entire sweeping motion. In the C-to-C roll, the paddle blade is unweighted during the sweep out to the perpendicular position, and is weighted only during the sudden hip snap. Of course these are descriptions of the 'pure' rolls, and real-world rolls are often a melding of the two, where a paddler might start out with sort of a sweep roll and end with sort of a C-to-C roll. The terminology doesn't really matter - getting upright does.
