Drums Grade 3 Technical Exercises | Rockschool

Grade 3 introduces single strokes in eighth notes, eighth-note triplets and 16th notes. Double strokes are in eighth and 16th notes and are performed on snare and toms. The paradiddle is a single in 16th notes with accents on snare and toms. Flams are again featured in quarter notes and are joined in this grade by drags of the same note value. The triplets are in eighth notes with accents on snare and toms. In the fill exercise you should play the snare as a cross stick. The fill itself might include eighth notes, 16th notes, triplets or flams with some combination of high, medium and floor toms, and snare.
