Okay, drummer, my lack of sufficient formal training now shows through . . .
Triple stroke rolls? I tried them and it didn't work (but then I was just
screwing around). Is it just a triple bounce?
I can make a bass/snare paradiddle sound like a roll . . . can't you?
:) It's easy.

Triple stroke roll = Closed Roll.
Double stroke roll = Open Roll.
Nope, I can play paradiddles with my hands and feet. Can you play a
samba though?
Well all have our strong points...

Drummer, Of course I was only kidding when I said I could make a paradiddle sound like a roll between my hands and feet. That would be impossible (aha! a new challenge for me :] )! What is a samba? (Just kidding) I tried to play one once and almost died. That is some tough stuff! You know what I always liked about jazz drumming? (of course not.) the way they (jazz drummers, that is) can often play quarter notes or whatever on their ride and maintain it while they wig out on the rest of the set. I wish I had that kind of independance! --the (parenthetical) drum

Jazz independence doesn't take much. It is pretty easy actually. Get a
book like Syncopation and play a jazz ride along the syncopated rhythms.

Now, who wrote "Syncopation"? I have sensed a new challenge and therefore a new obsession for this summer (when I have time). A thousand thank you's. --the depressive obsessive progressive and slightly esoteric drum
