I've found it easier to perform a ripple roll with a Burton grip, perhaps because of the natural pivot created by the crossed mallets in the palm. It's also easier to bring out certain voices by having more "weight" behind those mallets.
With Stevens grip, I use a hybrid of a flam stroke ripple roll and Stevens' double lateral roll. With a flam stroke ripple roll, it is difficult to bring out the outer mallets as they naturally hang lower. With the double lateral roll, I tend to get a more staccato roll with each note emphasized. With my hybrid roll, I move the fulcrum point futher back into the hand, allowing for more movement with the mallets, the outer mallets moving in the same direction as my wrists and the inner mallets moving in the opposite directions.
With the ripple roll I find that I can play only up to about a forte level, with the ripple roll becoming ineffective at especially large intervals.
