In this lesson you will learn some simple accent patterns in a seven stroke roll. These will all fall on numbered counts and when played in standard sticking and will all be played on the right hand. The difficult part of these patterns is only accenting the first note of the double stroke while playing the fast sextuplets, focus here on getting that 'high then low' movement in the sticking.
At the bottom of the page you will find a collection of links to lessons that will be helpful when learning these parts. Start each patttern slowly and gradually building up tempo as you get more comfortable with the movements involved.
