Seven Stroke Roll (Triplet)

What is a Seven Stroke Roll (Triplet)?

The Seven Stroke Roll can also be played in a triplet interpretation. In this case, the structure is:

  • A quaver followed by triplet roll (RLLRRLL)
  • First note is accented and outside the triplet

The way to get this rudiment down is by getting the timing and transition just right. Start slow and focus on:

  • Strong accent on the first note
  • Even spacing between the triplet rolls
