Five-Stroke Roll & Paradiddle on Drum Set – Quiz | Course 10

When Al orchestrates the five-stroke roll around the kit, where does the single (release) note land?

Always on the snare drum, to keep a consistent anchor point

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

On the hi-hat, since it’s the highest voice in the kit

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

It moves — Al places it on cymbals (ride, crash, hi-hat) or toms depending on the exercise, using the orchestration to explore different sounds and placements

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Always on the bass drum, paired with the right foot

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Why does Al flag the left hand + bass drum combination as a coordination challenge?

Because the left hand has to cross over the snare drum, which disrupts stick height

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

When the left hand leads and the bass drum plays at the same time, it demands simultaneous coordination between your weaker hand and foot — a pairing that often feels awkward before it’s been practiced deliberately

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Because playing bass drum on the left side of a pattern forces you to restart your counting

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Because the bass drum pedal is set up for right-foot dominance and can’t respond fast enough to left-hand leads

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

True or False: The hi-hat can only produce one type of sound — an open, sustained ring.

True

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

False

Correct Incorrect Correct answer
