Practicing your single stroke rolls will by default help with your one handed 16ths. I watched your vid, and unless I missed something, I heard only 8th notes on the hat. I did hear snippets of a dotted feel, but it was not sustained for long
I don't think single strokes would really help much when aiming to improve a 16th hi hat feel.
playing straight single 16ths sounds horrible on hats or ride
I would say practicing open /close technique doubles or low "Moeller" doubles would be what someone would practice if you want to take that route
you want to shoulder the stick one the down, and bead the stick on the up......stealing that bead hit
it's a rocking motion.... ...so single strokes don't really apply hear in my opinion because it is more of a constant double stroke....if that makes sense
there should be no more effort involved than just playing simple 8ths on the hats......just that you are stealing that bead tap on the way up
