Remember that you should thoroughly master the previous post first. It is crucial that your coordination between your limbs and between accented and unaccented notes is tight in order for these exercises to be beneficial.
This next one is really fun because it will quickly develop your double stroke rolls.
We will now substitute a double stroke (which are also called diddles) for every accented note.
This will allow you to focus very clearly on each double stroke, since you will only play one diddle per beat in the first 4 exercises. Allow yourself to take advantage of this by practicing these again with a metronome in a relaxed fashion with a focus on control.
A really neat thing about this little drill is that you will automatically learn all the different rolls such as five-stroke rolls, seven-stroke rolls, 9stroke rolls and so forth. You will also learn how to play ruffs automatically. It's all in there.
Have fun with it!
