Go to Vic Firth's website. This is totally the 6 stroke roll.

whats the kit?????

For those who say that this is a wrong 6 stroke roll. It's not.

The title says "6 stroke roll". Now, when you read that, you actually thinking that it should be triplet notes count as six in two beats. But it's not.

Remember, the lesson is about STROKE, it's about the sticking patterns, not about the notes. Hope that helps.

i hate it when ppl are so hung up on definitions. While the usual six stroke roll played with triplet feel and all notes are of the same length and accents on let 1 let 2 let 3... This guy plays in 16th notes with the 1 and the ee in 32nd notes. So it is: (11 ee) and ah (22 ee) and ah... 32nd notes in (). His 6 stroke does sound good, with great application to the groove too.

So guys, stop wasting time criticizing. Instead appreciate the difference, the unusual, the creativity...

@bkhoavo actually in the "formal" rudimental 6 stroke roll all the notes are not even though many ppl play it as triplets evenly spaced the technical way of playing it is that the single strokes , the first and last note hold a longer place in the music so it would be R ll rr L or L rr ll R but this sticking example here works great on the kit and has its place

when did jack owen start drumming??

[lateralus1007]

anyone who thinks this is not a six stroke roll in any of these variations is an idiot

[bucknotsoofast]

it is a six stroke roll its called a variation of the pattern

[highwayman65251]

This is NOT a properly executed 6-stroke roll: it has to be evened out. Oh, and you must pull the drumstick out of your ass

[BumpNrun69]

hmm.. I always thought "six stroke roll" was;

....R LLRR L .....

(accent on single hit, beginning and end)?

[wweagent55]

that is not a six stroke roll, but thanks and the drums sound great.

[needlearmor]

holy crap those drums sound nice

[dahonkie]

I don´t know where you learnd to play drums but where I did a six stroke roll isn´t a five stroke roll with an additional 16th note!

[MickyDrums]

I agree with you, this is not a six stroke roll.

[WESLEYANWRESTLER]

i agree that was terrible

[loosenutlambert]

I guess just any old roll containing 6 strokes constitutes the 6 stroke roll then?

[mikeblblbl]

pathetic

[FavorableBill]

i was taught that the six stroke roll was actually RllrrL but when played one after another it sounds like its RLrrllRlrrll

[gothscreamo]

thanks

[bramleydrummer]

i know lol, sounds good though

[Maraz160]

It should be RLLRRL with the first and last stroke accented.

[yuthchack]

nice.

[dharmamark]

Nice sounding set... and thanx for the instruction.
