"Hi, I'm Shaun Schaefer on behalf of Expert Village. Today we're going to be learning how to play a drum roll. Now that we know what a single stroke is, let's play a single stroke. Now, like we said. Single stroke is taking one wrist movement and producing only one note, or one sound at a time. So this would be single stroke. Okay, so would this. However, if we do this, we just played six notes in a row. That is not six, a six note thing. That is single stroke. It's all single stroke. As long as when you have one wrist movement you're producing only one note. So if we did right? If we did that, those are all single strokes because we have one wrist movement per one note that is being played. So let's take a look, it's very interesting in like how it's going to work in our mechanics later on. So let's go ahead and take a look at our next step."
