Hi Thomas,
I don't know what Reves' sticking is, but according to jazz guitarist/tresero/ethnomusicologist Dr. Ben Lapidus, Reve employed the style of abanico that comes from bongo de monte in changui. Lapidus wrote an excellent article on changui and has a book coming out this year on the changui-tumba francesa connection. There's a clear example of this bongo abanico on "Ritmo Changui" (traditional folkloric changui, not Reve's popular music) on the "Drum Jam" CD. It does sound like a single stroke roll.
