Developing The Single Stroke Roll

Every drummer wants to have blazing singles. The question is how do we develop them? There are a number of tried and true exercises that have proven effective over the years.

It's a combination of two separate warm-ups: Countdowns (as taught by Peter Erskine) and something I stumbled upon which I call "Timed Singles."
