So I've always tried to do my rolls as consistently as possible, with each and every stroke sounding equal. However..
I was just playing along to Foo Fighters, Everlong, when I noticed that Taylor Hawkins accents his rolls on the 2 and the 4 sometimes, and other times on each quarter note.
Should I aim to be able to pulse the roll wherever I feel I need it? Does an accented roll sound better with the 1,2,3 and 4 emphasis compared to a dynamically consistent roll? Does this applie to single stroke, double stroke and paradiddle 'rolls'.
I think I know what the answer will be, but I'd like to hear others opinions on this.
