LFTB: 5-Stroke Roll
The 5-Stroke Roll is the first of the double stroke roll rudiments. As the name suggests it has five notes in it, two doubles and a single. We would normally accent the single note at the end of the roll but as an alternative exercise its worth trying without accents. This rudiment moves from one hand to another rather than repeating in the same hand as you’ll discover with the 6 stroke roll.
I have seen the 5-Stroke Roll written and played two different ways as shown in the PDF. In the video I’m demonstrating the first example.
