Rudimental Rolls – 10min Iron Challenge

In 2013, I organized and posted my Rudiment Champion list and supporting exercises. After teaching and practicing this material for many years, I came up with an endurance test for 2-bounce rolls. The goal is to play continuously, through several variations, increasing in complexity, for roughly 10min. Success requires unlocking a virtuous cycle of alignment and capacity, where improved strength allows for more refined control, which leads to a better targeted development of strength, and so on.

Here’s the complete routine written out. Tenuto notes could be accented at any dynamic or simply emphasized with arm weight.
