All roll patterns should fit 2/4 time. That said the lessons on this site are either 4/4 or 3/4 time.

Yep, 2/4 time is just a different way to count 4/4 time. The rolls would just be 16th notes instead of 8th notes.
Some people use 2/4 time (or cut time) in bluegrass b/c it’s going so fast and easier to count 1-2 at half the speed than 1-2-3-4.
I know it can be confusing but don’t let it trip you up. If you have a particular example or problem you’re working on, post details here and we’ll look at it.
