Wonderful!

Yes, that's it exactly. Maybe I explained it poorly, but it's not uncommon in rock and jazz drumming, at least in my limited experience. Sometimes the quick snare bounces are considered the "ruff," while following them with a single accented snare note from the opposite hand makes it a "drag." The terminology isn't perfectly consistent between Vic Firth, Modern Drummer, and the Percussive Arts Society unfortunately. A pair of grace notes would do the trick notation-wise, but last time I tried I ran into layout problems. Again, I'm fairly new both to drumming and to lilypond, so I'll give it another go and probably find success this time. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
