In this quick lesson, I demonstrate the “Six-Stroke Roll with Mustard” exercise from page 29 of Steve Gadd’s Gaddiments. I play through the exercise once at full tempo, then I break down the tricky first and second endings slowly to help you hear how to place the rhythms correctly.

If you like this video and are interested in my process for figuring out tough rhythms, you can also check out this other lesson where I break down my analysis process using Gaddiments as an example.
