Can anyone tell me how 8 on a hand and chicken and a roll go on tenors ?

There are numerous ways to break up both of those exercises, but we basically use the following patterns for 8's

Start with 11111111 22222222 then split
31244213 42133124 (keep hands over drums 1 and 2,crossing the hand that is moving over the stationary hand)
Outs - 13131313 24242424
Ins - 31313131 42424242
Tri - 31S31S31 42S42S42
Z - 3S123S12 4S214S21

On chicken and a roll, just get it sounding good on drum 2 before moving it. Then start with easy adjacent drum movements (move check and roll), then you can split each diddle down and back up the drums, and if you are feeling really jiggy, you can try scrapes and crosses on the diddles (ex. 1322132213221322)

I have always done 8's this way:

11111111 22222222 33333333 44444444
33333333 22222222 11111111 SSSSSSSS

After that we moved on to: (Round Patterns)

13S13S13 24S24S24 31S31S31 42S42S42
S13S13S1 S24S24S2 S31S31S3 S42S42S4

Next: (All on one hand)

12343432 12343432 12343432
That went on for the full eight measures and then you start over again on the other hand.

Thanks. I was just curious because Ive never played 8s or Chicken and a roll on my Tenors.

I've never heard of Chicken and a roll, but the 8's I play go like this...
22222222(all R) 22222222(all L) 22222222(all R) 22222222(all L)
3124421331244213 then with the left hand...4213312442133124 end on 3 and 4 at the same time

i play 8 on a hand like this:
right-11111111
left-22222222
right-33333333
left-44444444
right-3124421331244213
left-3124421331244213
right-1234432112344321
left-1234432112344321

We did 8s the same way drumdum wrote, but chicken and a roll like so:

1234(1111)
1234(1111)
12341234(11111111)
12341(222)
12341(222)
123412341(2222222)
*S*

Where: ( ) = diddles

8's:
11111111
22222222
31244213
4213124(4+3)(4+3)*
(4+3)*

NOTE: Double stops, first one has L on 4, R on 3, second is crossover-ed, third is like first...


Chicken and a roll:
1234(1234)
1234(1234)
123432(123432)
123432(123432)
(1/3,2,1/3,2)1111
(1,2/4,1,2/4)11(4+3)(4+3)
(4+3)

NOTE: (1/3,2,1/3,2) these are scrapes, followed by diddle sixteenths.
123432(123432) This is triple subdivision.

8's:
R: 13131313
L: 24242424
R: 3124213G
L: 4213124G
R: G

8 on a Hand
Singles:
R: 13131313
L: 24242424
R: 3124213S
L: 4213124S
Doubles
R: 33 11 22 44 S 3 (8 16ths followed by 2 8ths on the spock and home drum)
L: 44 22 11 33 S 4 (8 16ths followed by 2 8ths on the spock and home drum)
R: 13 21 12 24 S 3
L: 24 12 21 13 S 4
Triples:
R: 333 111 222 4 3
L: 444 222 111 3 4
R: 133 211 422 S 3
L: 244 122 311 S 4
R: 4

now THE REAL FUN is playin all those in 16th notes, especially the Z pattern
