A nice little one bar idea, using the classic theme of accents within a single stroke roll to create a musical phrase - which could then be used as a drum fill or as the basis for a solo.

Here's a nice little starter example if you're just getting into these sort of fills. As ever, feel free to reverse the sticking if you're left-handed.

This groove's a really great chance to think about playing the busier bass drum parts seen at the Grade 3/4 level and above.
