Hi, I am looking for a formula to figure out the different combinations of a four stroke rudiment across a five piece drum set.  The rudiment is a set pattern that doesn't per-mutate at all.  The combinations are with the different striking surfaces of the drums themselves.  So if I had a pattern like r,l,r,l and I can start on any drum, how many different combinations can I come up with before I exhaust the combinations with the five different drums?  I don't have a good formula for this.  Any ideas??
