Fifteen Stroke Roll

What is a fifteen stroke roll?

The Fifteen Stroke Roll is one of the longer roll patterns. The basic structure is:

• Seven double strokes followed by a single stroke (RRLLRRLL RRLLRRL)
• Accent falls on the final note

Attention to consistent spacing between the notes is the way to ensure this roll's successful execution. Start slow and focus on:

• Consistent spacing between the notes throughout
• Steady volume until the accent
• Strong finish on the final note
