The Eleven Stroke Roll (#12 of the 40 P.A.S. certified essential or standard rudiments) is an eleven note pattern which consists of five unaccented Double Strokes and one accented Single Stroke. The pattern is traditionally notated in 2/4 which allowes for an 8th note rest at the end (two 16th notes).
