Try this. Throw in some back sticking and similar cool flashes and turn some of those triplets into swiss triplets - you have a decent 1st part here. The piece as written could be 2nd part. 3rd part - simplify it by taking out the flams. 4th part - drop the five strokes, probably making them 16ths, and drop the paradiddles. 5th part - just 8ths and 16ths. Accents remain the same for all parts.

Crazy Army is a rudimental solo written in 1934. Actually, I think 7 strokes make more sense for this piece and that may have been how it was originally written. The solo has plenty of off beat accents which gives it more groove, less of a pounding march feel. It is for soldiers with soul.

You can do a Google image search for a more printer-friendly version.
