The only
rudiment I know conceived of purely to make playing a certain
rhythmical figure less complicated.
Stutter fives refers to how it feels to play a fivelet with a broken play
phrasing. It looks like this:
R R R L L | R R R L L ||
|_____5______| |______5______|
and when you are
learning to play it, it is
difficult to line up the
precise placement of each note against a subdivision of five against one against four.
