How is a cymbal roll written within a score?

Featured Replies

How is a cymbal roll written within a score? I have searched google but can't find an example. Also, does it matter what line on the staff I insert the roll?

Thanks!

...I have searched google...

Are you sure?

Try googling "cymbal roll notation" and click "I'm Feeling Lucky"

:whistling:

You'll get this:

a) Generally a note with those three lines under it/on the stem.

b) There is no standardized line to notate a roll on. Just label it with "sus cymb" or something similar

c) This section of the forums is for posting something you wrote, general questions go in forums much further down

Also, try posting in the right forum

EDIT:

My mistake, sorry, carry on! :)
