Here's another classic of the marching arts repertoire. It's simply called "Triplet Rolls", and that's exactly what it is, a roll exercise based in triplets. You could wor /these skills just as easily by "diddling" The Grid, but still everyone knows this one, so it's something you can play with other people easily.
Just like a jazz standard, there are a few slightly different versions of it, but what I think of as the most common version looks like this:
Notice the lack of accents. Everything should be at one even height. It will vary depending on the speed, but in general it should be a medium height; nice and relaxed and beefy - not so high to where you're really having to push it, but not so low that you don't get any sound or power. Try to keep the singles and doubles both at a consistent height and volume.
