Ultimate until I need it in some other form. I already see some other things I could have included. Don’t believe everything you read. This expands on an approach taken in Mitchell Peters’s Rudimental Primer, outlining the basic structure of paradiddles and their inversions, paradiddle-diddles, and six stroke rolls played as a rhythm— which are really an inverted left handed paradiddle-diddle with two accents. We’re getting a sense of the larger hand movements, and a clean look at the structurally important partials, for timing.
In part 2 (sequel to the ultimate) we will cover the lower orders of paradiddle rudiments: double, triple, and their very useful Bishop Inversions, maybe some of the flam/drag versions which I hate.
Play each numbered sequence in whatever order you like, playing each pattern 1-4 times:
- Plain old “in order”, 1, 2, 3, 4
- Pyramid style: 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1
- In order alternating with pattern 1: 1-2, 1-3, 1-4
I am happy to help you with any of the materials on the site, and with anything else drumming related— contact me for private lessons, online world wide, or in person in Portland, Oregon. All levels of players, and all people, are welcome.
