Five Stroke Rolls

Me noodling about with five stroke roll on my snare and bass drum. Five strokes are played Right Right Left Left Right, Left Left Right Rght Left, with a beat rest between the switch, this way it plays to common time. Its a good way to build up strength, but find it a bit "military". I take out the beat rest and the beat can be played to four as a quintuplet over a 4/4 bass drum beat, or as a polyrhythm with the bass drum playing 4 and the snare playing five.

Give it a go, it's good fun.
