The Eight Stroke Roll, (Hand to Hand) is classified in Swiss literature as a Stroke Roll, more accurately assigned to the rudiment family “Stroke Roll Rudiments with an after-stroke”. This is because the rudiment is played continuously (without any rest). With the help of a look-up stroke the figure switches the hand. Throughout the continuous acceleration from 30 quarters per minute until tempo 104 the rudiment must be kept rhythmical: the double strokes (rolls) must be played in an easy and open way until to the practice in high speed. Even more important is the rhythm of the major sixteenth-notes as the look-up is often clenched and unrhythmic. Furthermore, accent on the major strokes support the characteristic of the rudiment.

The Eight Stroke Roll is seldomly found in compositions at all. If so, mostly not in its regular practice structure.

La première mention de ce rudiment apparaît dans la Méthode pour tambour d’Alexandre Raynaud, 1905. L’auteur utilise cette combinaison, enchainement main droite/main gauche, dans sa pièce Trois marches roulées. Ce rudiment semble assez rare.

Pour plus de précision, aujourd’hui le Ra de 7-chargé s’inscrit dans un débit de quintolet.
