Drumlesson: Time independance (doublestroke)

Gradually open-close-open the doublestroke roll, while keeping a constant (!!!) time with your feet (in this example e.g. a basic samba pattern).
Don´t worry about 16th or triplets and such, just try to o-c-o as gradually as you can while keeping the feet time as constant as you can.. This creates all kinds of fancy odd time-subdivisions and nice frictions between hands and bassdrum. Very hard to write down note by note.
In this example I play RRLL this way:
right tom,left tom, snare, snare. Very simple, but sounds good and looks cool. Makes nice and easy fills once a while.
Do this with any rudiment and over different feet patterns.
Start to practise with the singlestroke roll RLRL, over constant quarternotes on the bassdrum, until you get a feeling for the two different timelines (Hands vs. Feet).
Then it easy to do it with all other rudiments and stickings.
Just a brain chops exercise.
