In this 16th note 5 stroke roll orchestration concept the single strokes of the rudiment will be played on the snare while doubles are orchestrated on various parts of the kit. Another way to think of this is all crotchets are played on the snare and with semi quavers orchestrated on toms. This is a very simple orchestration, the intention of which is to start your hands moving around in this rudiment. Remember, you hands will always be playing a 5 stroke roll sticking in all exercises on this page.
