Kayla's Drum Lesson (paradiddle-diddle fill)

[Aljess]

I fancy you!

[himl994]

Now that's a strange looking kitchen.

lol Sorry I just had to. Pretty cool, thanks for the lesson.

[RGdood]

you suck really really bad.

[bmm665]

you're pretty good lady, keep it up

[finchfreak22]

Holy crap you're good!!!! I hope to get that good some day!!! I'm working on it!! Keep it up!

[dirtyolcanyanero]

wasn't expecting that, she's really good!



[diegochangos]

What's a "syncopated rhythm"?

Thanks for the time.

[lypunkdud20]

@diegochangos not on the beat. e.g. one the + or e....

[sebz61]

Your accent is super hot.

[solderjon]

What drum Corps did you march with?

[rbjax]

that's a solid little lesson. sounds great.

[ulusot]

Drumming Girls always seems to impress me :-)

[thedrumgenious]

I'm pretty sure that on most other rudiments you alternate the sticking but it's just on this I have always been told it's just starting on the right hand but if I am wrong now I've learned how

[supernickynick]

EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!

[thedrumgenious]

paradiddle-diddles your doin them wrong your suposed to do RLRRLL RLRRLL RLRRLL and so on  so you dont change the sticking from RLRRLL to LRLLRR

[sserle]

@thedrumgenious pretty sure the rudiments are valid starting on either hand. Also having the regular paradiddle in the middle of the four paradiddle diddles provides that smooth transition onto the left.

[dejd]

@thedrumgenious could you be anymore wrong

[TatoArtavia]

That Fill at 2:55 was just killer..

by the way, do you use any kind of muffling on the snare drum??

[torelk]

i love this fill! i added some kick to the fill sounds awesome. (i dont know where though i just added it to were it felt ryt.)

[georgevts]

I like this its really good. I like the underlying groove too. I just need to go practice my rudiments. Seriously its taking me ages to get anywhere with them. How long and frequent did you practice yours before you were at an acceptable level Kayla. George UK.

[ThisBenJams]

yeah this is usefull

well played, i like your groove

[mazinnmf]

sssss mamacita me mereces no te quieres casar con migo muñequita

[azsx1979]

I'm in love..

[AmazGraz]

iT REMINDS ME of wipeout. I like your style, like, the best.

[AmazGraz]

iT REMINDS ME of wipeout.

[k3g1]

なるほど！！

[Volentry]

Ian Paice does something like this too. Except he plays 2 paradiddles followed by a paradiddle-diddle. And because the paradiddle-diddle is at the end, the sticking doesn't change!

[theflowerofren]

Girl you rock, i'm learning paradiddle just now and i found your video! I'm a girl too and i started playing drums from 5 months...Awsome instument!

Keep up the good work!

[69drummerdan]

Um, i think they are called six strokes. RLRRLL RLRRLL

[JoeMetalMaster]

@69drummerdan 6 stroke roll is actually RRLLRL

[69drummerdan]

@JoeMetalMaster.... Actually its RLLRRL.

[davelewitt]

Nice job Kayla! clearly presented and well played!!! hey!!,,, check out this book- it might be good to use with your students-

"The Book of Funk Beats- grooves for snare, bass and hihat"- published by Cherry Lane

lots of grooves to help drummers groove!!

thanks!!

[Serrin71]

i wanna drum with you! :D

[africanchina1]

ur fucking hot

[300869qwr]

Damn you are good, come to Holland then we play tho gether.

[drums2play1]

hottie!!

[blackflagjerk69]

Kayla your awesome! Great fill.

[mikeborja1]

cool!

[Laurent75017]

i dont understand paradiddidle diddle ; isnt it : RLRRLRLL ? Kayla seems to make RLRRLL

[BirminghamPartyBand]

@Laurent75017

A standard paradiddle is RLRR LRLL which is usually played in 16ths.

A Paradiddle diddle is RLRRLL which is often played in triplets or sextuplets.

So she is right.

[Laurent75017]

@BirminghamPartyBand

Thank you very much for your highlights ; I think that I have been confusing both terms for many years ! Btw, in French, we call paradiddles "Moulins", which means mills in english

[suprephonic1]

i love you

[piano2]

Hi!! great explanation!! but could be easier for drum learners like me if you write down (in somehow) the pattern of the diddles ...pretty usefull though. Thanks a lot anyway for sharing your knowlegde with us.

Grettings from southamerica.

[humbledrumah]

nice feel. you have a "Gadd" groove working in there from "Boogie on Reggae Woman" so nice to see it explained.  ~ inventor of the original hoopaloop

[fi333girl]

Amazing, I'm only at start of learning an my only comment would be vid was little dark an camera angle could be better.

[peppysk8]

i fuckºng love u..

[KTHXBYEE]

This is so confusing for me because I'm dyslexic when it comes to my rights and left. Like if I'm giving directions I'll say right when I was thinking left.

[drumlord420]

nice skills! like you groove pattern!

[tpr007]

Amazing!

[drummerdudex017]

good chops yo. try that one in double time. what a work out...

[delitemyheart]

Honestly speaking...one of the best pieces of advice i have ever ever seen on youtube. This is broken down in such detail so that i can understand it.

Honestly...women drummers rock. And same goes for women bass players. Men seem to always stuff somthing up in one way or another..but women stay true and loyal to the groove always..and so then women are tha best you can ever learn from!

So...thankyou kaylaslessons14, Thanyou so much for your love & sharing. God Bless You!

[dwet07]

are you gonna be my girl??

[dxhjkg]

O_O yess! finally, smokin drummer chick whos skilled!!

lesson came in handy, curiouse to try this as a linear drum fill...

[jakuteng]

Very impressive! Nice!

[alanohcz]

i though paradiddle is RLRRLRLL?

i am confuse Can some one Help me

[bamfireastound]

she said it's a paradiddle-didddle it means two single strokes followed by two double strokes... RLRRLL

[HelloSquiggles]

That is a paradiddle. These are paradiddle-diddles RLRRLL or LRLLRR

[mattlightbound]

u r right. a paradidle is `RLRRLRLL. but a paradiddle-didle is RLRRLL.

[drumlord420]

thats a paradiddle what she's showing is a paradiddle-diddle. RLRRLL LRLLRR

[osibalasi]

i want a gf like that so we can play to gether

[xbellababyx26]

you're good

[Goddrum]

a variation of this pattern is to use double paradiddles in place of paradiddle diddles

[dtewis]

Kayla you're sick thanks for the post! this video is a lot of help, i've been incorporating the paradiddle alot but the paradidle-diddle sounds really cool.

[burgerontheside]

ur lethal, ur lessons are reali helpful!!

[SirSplash]

hooray for girls. hooray for drums.

[hebronsawyers]

Nice jazz :)

[sdkjhsdglih]

Her form on the hi-hat is improper. It's the tip of the stick. If she continues to play it the way she is, it'll eat up her stick.

[alloneword154]

are you still using your original drum sticks??

[sdkjhsdglih]

Yes and no. I use 7A Vic Firth Zidjian Rubber Dipped. I threw away my previous pair (same brand.) Because they were too eaten up. But, trust me, if you continue too play the hi-hat with the fat of the stick, it'll eat up the stick faster. Use the tip.

[FrameSticker]

There is no correct way to hit the hi-hat. I like the crispy tone that playing with the tip of the stick gives me, but when I'm looking for a lighter approach or more rebound I use the tip.

[sdkjhsdglih]

Yeah, but what I mean is, if you use the fat part of your stick instead the tip, it will eat the stick

[FrameSticker]

That's completely true, but necessary (misspell?) to get different tones from your drumset.

It's just like rimshoting. It freaking destroys your stick, but I couldn't live without it.

[PentucketXC05]

Jeez that isnt incorrect form! It is called hitting the edge of the hi hats. Just like when you are riding a crash. It gives you less of a chick sound and more of a thrashy sound when they are open and it is SOOO IMPORTANT in the success of any drummer.

[Pilbromatic]

One of the main advantages of an acoustic drum kit is the ability to vary your sounds, and hit the various pieces of the kit in different ways. It is possible to get around ten different sounds from a hi-hat (that I've found), excluding the use of harmonics. It is up to the individual to do whatever they like when they are drumming.

[Pilbromatic]

Personally, whilst I occasionally hit the side of the hi-hat while playing some rock songs (which I barely do), I usually like to keep tight hats, and hit the top of them, the bell, and sometimes use the edge of the stick.

Once again, she can do whatever she wants to! She's the one giving the lesson, not you.

[PentucketXC05]

Fyi, this was a response to another person saying she was hitting the hi hats wrong, which is completely false. Not a hate message to Kayla. I for one think this is a great video.

[remixer100]

i love drumin chicks!

[alesinowarrior1]

rika !!

[uhoh38125]

awesome

[GerBear52]

Cool. Great lesson!

[angeloftheblood]

i love you.

[angeloftheblood]

i love you.

[crisrr]

Loved the lesson

Thanks!

[pauldrummer08]

Good job! I agree with a little work on the moeller technique...but you are really good! and really pretty! =)

[mangwapo]

what a wonderful face got a wonderful talent, keep it up and goodluck

[Truemapexian]

i ud like 2 have ur mail id....

r u der on facebook???

nice n really helpfull stuff.

keep posting more

[teertroll]

practice your moeller technique for ur accents.

it creates more storm groove to it, makes it dance.

[hamaknaflint]

is she anything related to todd shucerman?

[daltonbatera]

Congratulations... its very good.. i'm from brazil.. I loved your lessons.

[gretschlover09]

You have great technique, which isn't very common amongst the usual drummers on here. I like the fill for the 8th note bars, but I just didn't feel that the swing beat and the fill were together...but that's one man's opinion I guess, keep up the great work.

[dac6969]

well done

cheers

-DruMs

[eskimoposh]

Keep it up Kayla - you're miles ahead of where I was at your age. I'm looking forward to seeing you on a big stage someday ( I see Beyonce's band is all-girl...get IN there!!! hahahaha).

By the way, my vids are CRAP compared to your's. I have to start trying to teach something instead of just smashing things....ha!

Keep slammin'

[MagooGleS77]

urrr hot

[membito]

ur amazing

[kaylaslessons14]

thanks!

-kayla S.

[Gretsche87]

Of course I got something out the video. That was really informative as well as creative. I love swing so hearing a paradiddle diddle which fits evenly into triplets really helps me out. Thanks alot. By the way, I noticed the picture of the Black Beauty on the wall - very nice.

Please post more! : )

[rootbeerazor]

did you do marching band, drum corps idk random question ? :B your chops are good!! rofl idk

[kaylaslessons14]

Thank you! Yes I played in marching band/drum corps for 4 years, and taught it for 3 years.

-Kayla S.

[Alexphunx]

How old r u? I studied and practiced drumming when I was 16, after two years I picked up my guitar and now I'm returning to my drumm lessons at the age of 25... I feel I've lost precious time...

I love you girl! you rock!

Now you have a fan from Argentina

Christian

[kaylaslessons14]

Thank You! Keep up with your lessons, you wont regret it!

I am 19.

-Kayla S.

[zxderpizzlexz1]

I'm so jealous of your ghost notes on the snare. I'm a pretty decent drummer, but those ghost notes just stump me so much. My right hand and left hand always want to hit with the same strength. Any tips?

[kaylaslessons14]

Thanks!

Tips: In this groove I am playing ghost notes but I am only accenting counts 2 and 4 on the snare (the back beat). All of the "in between notes" are low to the drum. You can practice placing low quiet notes evenly in between and 8th note hi hat pattern creating 16th notes. Or a triplet pattern between hi hat (H) and snare (s): Hss Hss Hss

Also, when i play ghost notes i use a finger technique as opposed to my all-wrist back beat. So keep that in mind.

I will do a ghost note video soon!

[sirray]

great stuff... and you can actually play. don't get me wrong, but i've only seen very few female drummers with a lot of technical skill.

keep it up!

kind regards,

ray

[kaylaslessons14]

Thanks for the kind words! Im glad you like the videos!

-Kayla S.

[sactodrummer79]

you sped up your fill when you played it with a swing. i dont know if that fill is for advance players.

[drumbicruz]

it reminds me of gregg bissonette's paradiddle diddle.like your chops!!!respect !!!

[kaylaslessons14]

Thanks so much!

-Kayla S.

[zildro1]

is that a pearl reference snare?

[kaylaslessons14]

It's a 2007 PDP snare. Im not exactly sure which model. I don't own that kit it is just one I use at the Drum Lab.

Thanks

-Kayla S.

[napethegreatape08]

can i marry u?

[elidrummer1]

that's sick!! you're grooving !! Keep it up!

[buttzaking]

Great playing there Kayla. Keep up the great work.

[LukeMoorer]

Great fill!!!! keep up the good work!!!

[j3s12e01]

Kayla,

I love you. No, seriously.... I love you.

[ukcameraman]

nice work, not sure it works with swing tho

[monopolyqueen4155]

your a great drummer and yes it does fit in with the rock beat but in the swing it dosent really sound flowy...

a swing fill really needs more snare rolls and subtle-er tom fills...

but as i sed your a fantastic drummer and its great to see more of us girls drumming.xx.

[kaylaslessons14]

Thanks for the input.

-Kayla S.

[coltrain210]

Hey Kayla- Thanks for checking out my videos. Good stuff you got going on yourself. That is a great combination that you can really work off of. Thanks

[SI5drummer]

Good Stuff, Keep them coming. I need as much rudiment help as I can get.

[kaylaslessons14]

I will see what I can do :)

-Kayla

[Drumfox7]

i must say your a very talented drummer. keep on the great work on those videos. Its very easy to understand everything, cant wait to see more.

[kaylaslessons14]

Thanks! I plan to have a couple more up by the end of this month.

-Kayla

[joshtheff]
