Ten Stroke Roll
RR LL RR LL R L
What it is
Four doubles ending in two accented singles. Like a nine stroke roll but resolving with an accent on each hand.
How to practice it
The two ending accents are what make this roll its own thing, so separate them clearly from the roll notes. Practice the four doubles soft and pop the last two notes. Keep the final accents evenly spaced instead of crushed together, which is the usual mistake.
Where you'll hear it
Rudimental solos and newer drumline stuff, and any phrase that rolls into two hits at the end.
