I have a question and really in the mid west here we don’t have a lot of instruction, its hard to come by. I have seen things like the roll pattern in bar 3 of the third line but have a difficult time understanding them. Is there any advice to counting these or the sticking pattern? I would normally play that first roll as 1 d l + d l 2, then the two 6 stroke rolls (with 2 being the start of the first one). I understand the 4 stroke into beat 4 ok, but the middle of that phrase I do not.
Hopefully I’ve explained myself okay and any help is appreciated
Hi there. Your train of thought is exactly how to think about it. You could try thinking about individual taps & buzzs. Ie: T,B,B,B,T,B,B,T,B,B,T,T,B,T.
Hope this helps you to some extent. If you would like a Skype session to go through this score please do not hesitate to contact me directly on info@stevenmcwhirter.com
Kind regards,
