There's no doubt that this can get a young drummer on board with the basic concept of the paradiddle and with moving the accent around the figure, but this guy does a little bit of a disservice by teaching this lesson when he has fairly serious technique problems of his own. That's not to say that he isn't an excellent drummer in other respects, but it is to say that he's not in a position to be taking command of rudimental drumming students.
Great stuff, just remember guys... think about it first and do it slowly. Then afterwards, go faster and don't think about it... why?? Because your muscle memory will take care of the thinking for you.
THANKS! I'm teaching a drumline class , in schools for my new job and I'm really excited about it ,but I've allways been a mostly improv-player- your video is direct and easy to understand.
Great tutorial, man. Thanks for really breakin down the accent options. It's such an important rudiment-so many applications! I'll check out your other vids.
How long has it taken you guys to get your speed up on the paradiddle and all of the other common rudiments? It seems like it is extremely difficult and these guys make it look so easy. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
@NewYorkJets99 try assigning it to other drums in a way that you actually like playing, and practice/build muscle memory with that instead --- sped me up in a couple weeks --- i think cuz i had some kind of creative/mental block against just the straight rudiment. i think the brain is more inclined to remember things you like, so i usually play something i like that contains the rudiment instead of just the rudiment
@iscottm Yes I have been working out the rudiment itself on a pad and stuff and it is coming along, and I will definitely work on applying it to the kit. I guess you really have to sit with this stuff for awhile to build up the muscle memory before you can fully get it down with little difficulty. Thank you for the advice!
@lilwave123 Start VERY slowly and anticipate your accent. Keep all unaccented notes as small as possible so the accent will naturally come out. Do not "force" an accent, it should feel comfortable within the flow of your rhythm. And, of course, practice, practice, practice...
okay who knows what you would call this rudiment. Its 7 lots of triplets going RLL RLL RLL RLL L+R LRR LRR LRR THEN RLLR LRRL RLLR LRRL . I played it in my lesson and my teacher showed me but it just sounds so weird i dont know what you would call it either.
@love2punk The first part is more of just a sticking pattern, not an actual rudiment...? After "THEN" it's just a paradiddle starting in the middle of it. RLRRLRLL ... RLL/RLRR/LRLL/RLRR/L see, just a paradiddle. You would like Swiss Army Triplets, ask your teacher or look them up, they're lRRL rLLR starting with a flam!
The paradiddle is partially responsible for the immortal sound of one of the greatest songs in rock n' roll history, Peggy Sue by the great Buddy Holly.
I hate when my drum instructor plays a rudiment.. then plays it 40 times faster, then plays it alternated,backwards, and 40 times faster like that.. =/
This guy is so awesome, he seems like a great teacher. Another great rudiment to know is the 6-stroke roll, it can be applied into solos and fills really easily and it sounds great

"The most effective rudiment because you can play it on the drum kit..." Dumb comment in my opinion. You can paly any rudiment on the kit. You might have to be a little creative with how you phrase them but it can be done.
@AznVerse Yeah the diddles part is just as playing doubles as far as I know. And a single paradiddle is just a combination of two single strokes follwed by a double. You can do it anyway. What your left hand does goes same with the right one and vice versa. Hope my info helped.

@Karolina011096 once uve got them down on a slow tempo slowly go faster...but try and keep the paradiddle going, RLRR LRLL ok idk if tht helps you, but it helped me goodluck =)
I joined marching band this year for the first time (senior year) and half way through band camp they decided i was out of pit and on the bass drum, it's cool but i wish i was on snare or something, the snare player today taught me our famous cadence and i needed to work on my diddles, he said i can get the first diddles right but i end up getting stuck and KEEP doing diddles through parts that don't have them, it's crazy but i'm getting it
Thanks for the lessons on here. I've been self taught since day one so trying to go back and learn these rudiments and diddles are stupid easy hard, but I think the snare has alot to do with it as well, sometimes without really thinking I can do double stroke rolls on top but when I try to go back and slow it down I can't do it, it's crazy how your brain works eh? But I know it's just practice and not getting frustrated. Again thanks for the lessons.
Actually a single para diddle is rlrr. Two para diddles alternating hands would be rlrr- lrll. I know who gives a shit but he is the big shot on the kit at mi.
Influence of Modern Drumming as applied to be-bop and jazz by jim chapin, new breed by gary chester, and four way coordination - the only books youll ever need for drumming.
I only just started learning drums/ rudiments, but the paradiddle is crazy hard for me at more than a slow speed. Single strokes, double strokes, and multiple bounces are easy in general, but transitioning between them is really difficult
I started taking drum lessons about two years ago, and I STILL SUCK at paradiddles!! why is taking me so long to improve on these? I practice them a lot but I just can't seem to see improvement. (can't improve my speed)
@TecmoBO34 clock your speed every week. Start off at like 80 BPM and practice for like 5 minutes every day then the next week, move it up to 82 or 83 BPM. REMEMBER, it takes time.
God this is just so hard for me.. I mean im a kick ass drummer (no, I dont have a big ego) but when it comes to dealing with the snare, I fuck it up, I know how to play double beats on the snare, also the thribbling and bounce methods, and it sounds really good but only when im playing the bass drum and any cymbal, but when my two hands stands on the snare, its just horrible
The best thing you can do it just work on the snare. For now, don't worry about adding other parts. That may seem obvious, but it's probably the only thing you can do. Like this guy does, just get out the pad and play paradiddles until your forearms burn.
Sure. Yeah, just play different rudiments. Try not to get what they (marching drummers) call 'pad hands'. In other words don't play on the pad too much where you rely on the rebound so much, that when you get on the kit, you have a super difficult time playing what you played on the pad, on the snare. Is it just the paradiddle that gets you or anything on the snare in general?
@spacitydrummer4JC um, the pariddles are kinda hard, I mean, I can get em if i practice them a little, I can do it but not as fast as he does so I guess it'll be just practice, and about the question, I think its the snare in general, I can get good sounds playing the hi hat (or double hi hat) with the snare, or playing any toms, but when I try to do something with just the snare, sounds horrible, I get the rhythm sometimes, but thats just luck ill say.
Oh, alright. If that's just the case, I would just order a book or two online. Maybe 'Progressive Steps to Syncopation for the Modern Drummer' by Ted Reed, or 'Stick Control: For the Snare Drummer' by George Lawrence Stone. Those are the two biggest/best books on what you're telling me about.
@spacitydrummer4JC thanks for the recommendation, ill look for them, thanks again. and by the way, I've got a book called 'The New Breed: Modern Drummer" by Gary Chester, Ive read it up and down, back and forth, it did help for me to understand on reading notes better, but if u know anything about this book, can you tell me for whats good for?
Yeah, that's a pretty advanced book. If you do get those books I recommended, I will lead you up to 'The New Breed' (as far as reading and comprehending notes goes..). 'The New Breed' is mainly for coordination, that's why the notes look so scattered and whatnot. The hands play one thing and the feet play another thing. You could look online for other reviews on this.
@JzXify Stick Control by George Lawrence Stone with a metronome, slow to fast, over long periods of time. Bounce/Rebound. No tension, no pressure. Relaxed movement. You will be okay in a few months. The standard single paradiddle is only 1 out of the 72 exercises in the first 3 pages. When you get all 72 to sound exactly the same, you can move on.
I'm really sorry, but these things freak me out sooo much!

I think there should be a mention of high stroke/low stroke technique as well as economy of motion. For instance, accent's are high strokes & unaccented are low strokes. Also when playing the accent on the 1st note of the paradiddle, I suggest raising the stick to be accented WHILE playing the double. That would be economy of motion. In other words, in RLRR, raise the left stick while playing RR so that you are in a high stroke position for the accent on the left for the next paradiddle.,
dude really im 11 and io could d this. i could d singe double triple paradiddles and paradiddlediddles. and flams and all tat other things BUT Great job. u explaied it beter then my band teacher
@dlb703 I agree, in most genres. However, in death metal and technical death, for example, I'd defy you to hold the sticks the traditional way and properly play the genre.
I'm glad to see some people still appreciate technique in jazz and progressive, though. Outside of those genres it's unfortunately rather absent, and the only one I can consider exempt from that is metal, due to the necessity for speed and quick transition over fluid stick control.
I think a drummer should learn to be able to play well BOTH ways. Bill Stewart (one of my favorite jazz drummers) almost always plays matched grip, while Vinnie Colaiuta (another fav) almost always plays traditional even when playing hard and fast. BTW, I have to laugh when I hear a lot of metal drummers play REALLY fast. In a lot of cases they are just playing a super fast polka beat. boom-chic boom-chic boom-chic LOL Can't wait to hear metal drummers get defensive over THAT comment.
@DrumTchr Yes, but that is a very stereotypical notion of metal drums. If you look at particular genres like Technical Death, it's incredibly technically challenging, hence the name, haha. Most generic and popular metal like metalcore and grindcore is just an endurance test more than difficult rhythm. Progressive metal is also subject to more difficult stuff. Colaiuta is amazing, I concur, he played for a metal band (Megadeth) briefly, and was by far the best drummer the band has had.
@Aesir, I agree with everything you say. My point was that when I see some metal drummers playing very fast, that it's nothing more than a very fast polka beat. Ex; go to :33, 5:20, 7:10 and 7:55 in this video. These are polka beats. :) /watch?v=B2Rv4pL0I8o In no way did I mean to stereotype by saying all metal drummers only play polka. A lot of really great drumming in that video also. There are a lot of great metal drummers out there as there are great drummers in all other styles.
DCussion, YEP, 2 TOTALLY different musical genre's where 1 was influenced by the other. Here's another; The common "Bo Diddley beat" was influenced by the Brazilian 3-2 clave rhythm. They are the same but applied differently. Want yet another? Steve Gadd's samba rhythm (Chick Corea Friend's recording. The song is "Samba Song") where he plays off beats on the cymbal bell, is an direct offshoot of the common disco beat where 16th notes are played on the hi hat w/ the SD doing a backbeat on 2 & 4.
hey that "practice pad" is a handy one right. ? I mean is one of those you can put it in your bag and take it whereever you want ? ..that litle pad plu the stick and the rythm manual in one package would be great for learniing. I can picture many gys anywhere practicing with it !!!!
good clip, just dont count sixteenth notes as (1 and 2 and , etc) its widely known as "1 e and a" , a paradiddle being a sixteenth note set set within a single beat
Hey, I didn't know Stanton Moore plays drums!
Wait.............

I mean im a kick ass drummer (no, I dont have a big ego) but when it comes to dealing with the snare, I fuck it up, I know how to play double beats on the snare, also the thribbling and bounce methods, and it sounds really good but only when im playing the bass drum and any cymbal, but when my two hands stands on the snare, its just horrible

The best thing you can do it just work on the snare. For now, don't worry about adding other parts. That may seem obvious, but it's probably the only thing you can do. Like this guy does, just get out the pad and play paradiddles until your forearms burn.

@spacitydrummer4JC Thanks for the tip, I'll surely put it in practice.
JzXify 1 year ago
Sure. Yeah, just play different rudiments. Try not to get what they (marching drummers) call 'pad hands'. In other words don't play on the pad too much where you rely on the rebound so much, that when you get on the kit, you have a super difficult time playing what you played on the pad, on the snare. Is it just the paradiddle that gets you or anything on the snare in general?
spacitydrummer4JC 1 year ago
@spacitydrummer4JC um, the pariddles are kinda hard, I mean, I can get em if i practice them a little, I can do it but not as fast as he does so I guess it'll be just practice, and about the question, I think its the snare in general, I can get good sounds playing the hi hat (or double hi hat) with the snare, or playing any toms, but when I try to do something with just the snare, sounds horrible, I get the rhythm sometimes, but thats just luck ill say.

Oh, alright. If that's just the case, I would just order a book or two online. Maybe 'Progressive Steps to Syncopation for the Modern Drummer' by Ted Reed, or 'Stick Control: For the Snare Drummer' by George Lawrence Stone. Those are the two biggest/best books on what you're telling me about.
spacitydrummer4JC 1 year ago
@spacitydrummer4JC thanks for the recommendation, ill look for them, thanks again. and by the way, I've got a book called 'The New Breed: Modern Drummer" by Gary Chester, Ive read it up and down, back and forth, it did help for me to understand on reading notes better, but if u know anything about this book, can you tell me for whats good for?
JzXify 1 year ago
Yeah, that's a pretty advanced book. If you do get those books I recommended, I will lead you up to 'The New Breed' (as far as reading and comprehending notes goes..). 'The New Breed' is mainly for coordination, that's why the notes look so scattered and whatnot. The hands play one thing and the feet play another thing. You could look online for other reviews on this.

@JzXify Stick Control by George Lawrence Stone with a metronome, slow to fast, over long periods of time. Bounce/Rebound. No tension, no pressure. Relaxed movement. You will be okay in a few months. The standard single paradiddle is only 1 out of the 72 exercises in the first 3 pages. When you get all 72 to sound exactly the same, you can move on.

I think there should be a mention of high stroke/low stroke technique as well as economy of motion. For instance, accent's are high strokes & unaccented are low strokes. Also when playing the accent on the 1st note of the paradiddle, I suggest raising the stick to be accented WHILE playing the double. That would be economy of motion. In other words, in RLRR, raise the left stick while playing RR so that you are in a high stroke position for the accent on the left for the next paradiddle.,

Thanks Tim. You're one of the few current drummers who knows how to correctly hold drumsticks. I think it's a lost art.
dlb703 1 year ago
@dlb703 I agree, in most genres. However, in death metal and technical death, for example, I'd defy you to hold the sticks the traditional way and properly play the genre.
I'm glad to see some people still appreciate technique in jazz and progressive, though. Outside of those genres it's unfortunately rather absent, and the only one I can consider exempt from that is metal, due to the necessity for speed and quick transition over fluid stick control.
Aesir2245Amish 1 year ago
I think a drummer should learn to be able to play well BOTH ways. Bill Stewart (one of my favorite jazz drummers) almost always plays matched grip, while Vinnie Colaiuta (another fav) almost always plays traditional even when playing hard and fast. BTW, I have to laugh when I hear a lot of metal drummers play REALLY fast. In a lot of cases they are just playing a super fast polka beat. boom-chic boom-chic boom-chic LOL Can't wait to hear metal drummers get defensive over THAT comment.

Ya metal drumming is just an Endurance Contest as my teacher said; He doesn't like it.......neither do I.
tuckfield656 1 year ago
@DrumTchr Yes, but that is a very stereotypical notion of metal drums. If you look at particular genres like Technical Death, it's incredibly technically challenging, hence the name, haha. Most generic and popular metal like metalcore and grindcore is just an endurance test more than difficult rhythm. Progressive metal is also subject to more difficult stuff. Colaiuta is amazing, I concur, he played for a metal band (Megadeth) briefly, and was by far the best drummer the band has had.
Aesir2245Amish 1 year ago
@Aesir, I agree with everything you say. My point was that when I see some metal drummers playing very fast, that it's nothing more than a very fast polka beat. Ex; go to :33, 5:20, 7:10 and 7:55 in this video. These are polka beats. :) /watch?v=B2Rv4pL0I8o In no way did I mean to stereotype by saying all metal drummers only play polka. A lot of really great drumming in that video also. There are a lot of great metal drummers out there as there are great drummers in all other styles.

DCussion, YEP, 2 TOTALLY different musical genre's where 1 was influenced by the other. Here's another; The common "Bo Diddley beat" was influenced by the Brazilian 3-2 clave rhythm. They are the same but applied differently. Want yet another? Steve Gadd's samba rhythm (Chick Corea Friend's recording. The song is "Samba Song") where he plays off beats on the cymbal bell, is an direct offshoot of the common disco beat where 16th notes are played on the hi hat w/ the SD doing a backbeat on 2 & 4.
