Shoutout to Graham and others, today's vid is a great, simple drill for helping develop those single stroke roll drum fills that feature "bursts" - short streams of notes at twice the rate!

BTW I've notated it SNARE-HIGH TOM-SNARE-FLOOR TOM here as they're the drums available in the notation app I used (Groovescribe, which is brilliant!) - but of course you can orchestrate this around your kit any way you like. I went for SNARE-HIGH TOM-MID TOM-FLOOR TOM in this vid.

Mike Barnes Drums Amazon Shop
I now have an Amazon store featuring all the gear, books etc you see here in these videos, and that I use myself on gigs/in the studio and recommend. It doesn’t cost any more to buy from this store than it does from regular Amazon, but you’d be supporting this channel by doing so, which would be very much appreciated!:
