Traditional rudimental drummers, especially those who have had an Ancient Fife and Drum Corps background, "squeeze" 7, 10/11, 15, and 19-stroke rolls into the musical notations used for of the next smaller rolls (such as the 5, 9, 13, and 17). In this collection of solos, the full musical notation is used as well as the "squeezed" type. If all the roll strokes are not to be accounted for musically, the larger rolls are "squeezed" into the time of the nearest smaller roll; 7 will appear in the notation of a 5; 10 and I I in the time of a 9; 15 in the time of a 13; and 19 in the time of a 17. Also, "squeezed" rolls are labeled according to the number of intended strokes. Some of the solos in this collection may even contain both types of rolls-full musical notations for each stroke, and "squeezed" notations when the strokes are not an exact musical fit. A WORD OF CAUTION is advised in reference to the solos on pages 11; 14-15; 16; 18; 19; 20; 25 and 31, where I have used 5-stroke rolls, written as grace notes and inserted between the primary/secondary note groups that the 5's are a structural part of. They should not be mistaken as flam or ruff grace notes, but full "squeezed" 5's that must be fitted into the primary/secondary note rhythms. Measures on pages containing such 5's are indicated by asterisks (*).
