Developing dynamics in single stroke rolls

We are going to develop a number of skills all at once now, providing us with:

more control of our hands;
greater depth of understanding of single stroke rolls and sixteenth notes; and
more interesting fills around the kit.

This subject has been split into two lessons, so to get a glimpse of what is ahead watch the video in Example 1.
