The Open & Closed 6-Stroke Roll
Top drummer and educator Ralph Humphrey (Don Ellis, Frank Zappa, Musicians Institute, LA College of Music) takes a deep dive on the popular and versatile 6-Stroke Roll— breaking down the mechanics before moving on to the drumset. The rudiment can be applied to a variety of marching, classical and popular music styles. (Taken from the Drum Channel Academy's Intermediate Semester Week 2.)
