2.5.1.3 Drum rolls

Drum rolls are indicated with three slashes across the stem. For quarter notes or longer the three slashes are shown explicitly, eighth notes are shown with two slashes (the beam being the third), and drum rolls shorter than eighths have one stem slash to supplement the beams. This is achieved with the tremolo notation, :32, as described in Tremolo repeats. Here is an example of some snare rolls:

     
     \drums {
       \time 2/4
       sn16 sn8 sn16 sn8 sn8:32 ~
       sn8 sn8 sn4:32 ~
       sn4 sn8 sn16 sn16
       sn4 r4
     }

Sticking can be indicated by placing ^"R" or ^"L" after the note. The staff-padding property may be overridden to achieve a pleasing baseline.

     
     \drums {
       \repeat unfold 2 {
         sn16 ^"L" sn^"R" sn^"L" sn^"L" sn^"R" sn^"L"  sn^"R" sn^"R"
       }
     }
