single stroke four
[English]
A standard drum rudiment in the category of roll rudiments and the sub-category of single stroke rudiments that creates a sustained sound on a percussion instrument by rapidly alternating one stroke from each drumstick. The sticking pattern shown below is the accepted method of producing a single stroke four and consists of four alternating strokes that can start with either hand. The sticking patterns are written where "L" represents the left hand stroke and "R" the right hand stroke.
