Bodhisattva Drum Question

[GuardDonkey]

Playing that song is very confusing for me for a 2 reasons.
1.WTF at the intro?(bass notes that have no sound)
2.The long red roll at the end(is it possible to single stroke that?)

1. They're quiet.

2. Sure, why not.

Bodhisattva was one of the last RB2 drums FC's, if I remember.

I always have trouble with this one. The song has a swing feel to it, but the drum part is charted straight up. It just doesn't feel right to play it that way.

1) They definitely have sound.
2) It's not all that long, but it's pretty fast. And yes, it's fully possible to hit that with a single stroke roll. Easier too than trying a double stroke roll, but that all depends on your equipment too.

What do you guys mean by stroke, exactly?

Single stroke roll would be one stroke per hand (RLRLRLRL). Double stroke is two per hand (RRLLRRLL).
