Introduction to the drum lesson: Rolls and accents 2

In the exercises of this drum lesson you'll find the same schemes from the second lesson about Accents, with the inclusion of Rolls between an accented stroke and the other.
In this case they are triplets of sixteenths of double strokes played by the left and the right hand. What you get is an alternation of short Rolls made by 3, 5 and 7 strokes, separated by the accented strokes.

Like before, after you have played every single exercise in the drum sheet, repeat all the exercises consecutively.
