Eleven Stroke Roll
RR LL RR LL RR L
What it is
Five doubles plus a release note. A longer roll that traditionally starts on an upbeat and resolves on a downbeat.
How to practice it
The longer the roll, the easier it is to hear it drift. Set the metronome, define exactly where the roll starts and where the release lands, and do not let the middle speed up or slow down. Clean elevens make the shorter rolls feel easy.
Where you'll hear it
Rudimental solos and marching snare parts, especially older military-style parts.
All 40 rudiments are in DrumLock free, with notation on screen, a metronome, and a speed trainer that raises the BPM while you play. No ads, no subscriptions.
