The Snip 13 Stroke roll has 7 primary strokes which I think of as 7 wrist movements. Tap the 1st 2nd and 7th wrist movements. An accent (>) over a roll always indicates a single tap. Practice your wrist movements without sticks. Just air drum the primary strokes while thinking the single taps.

You will need a teacher to help you learn to play smooth rolls. The following chart and practice patterns are to help you prepare for a teacher or workshop. The following attachments are PDF files.
