I'm gonna be in Marching band next year at highschool,and I'm gonna wanna play snare,not bass.But I'm gonna have to use traditional sticking,which I've never really done. Is there any good exercises to get use to playing like this besides just playing? Any help is appreciated. Also, any speed exercises besides just increasing speed gradually?

When I learned traditional what I did was start all my rolls with the left hand. I know its not good or correct but I did it to strengthen my wrist. Do double stroke rolls for as long as you can without making a mistake. It will tune your wrists.
