The six stroke roll is a fun rudiment that is a hybrid of the single and double stroke rolls. It starts with two double strokes, then ads two single strokes at half the tempo, and then repeats with the alternate hand leading into the entire pattern.

  • 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

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

  • whats the kit?????

  • WROOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGGG!!!

  • when did jack owen start drumming??

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

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

  • 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
