paradiddles at 225 bpm

[Mrhahahahatim]

@EvilN00ber ALWAYS relax the faster you get, especially on paradidles since there should be a lot of bounce powering most of the notes

[Julian81218]

I'm at 170 :/

[blowpipe92]

hey congratulations!!!! damn!! its a clean and very straight work!!

[drummernickm]

those are 16ths

[EvilN00ber]

hi i've been wanting to ask this for a long time, so are we supposed to tense our muscles or relax while doing paraddiles at this speed? or did you relax? thanks :)

[mynameisbaldwin]

@MARASALVATRUCHA199 I know what it is i meant is she using it

[TommtheDrummer]

vveerry clean ,nice work!

[iSquishMoths]

Very fast, what was the key in becoming that quick, was it getting your weak hand almost as strong as your good hand?

[dtdrummerlady]

@iSquishMoths Well.........it's hard to really say, but yes, getting your weak hand developed certainly is key to playing anything fast and with technique and control.. Practice is the key word! Learning the moeller stroke also helps.

[sjukov76]

@dtdrummerlady Then lets have a Moeller session...

[mynameisbaldwin]

Moeller Stroke?

[MARASALVATRUCHA199]

@mynameisbaldwin its adults talk.

[InHumanForm555]

NIce channel! Could you write out the what sticking pattern you are using, I couldn't tell because it was so blazing.Was it RRLL RRLL RRLL RRLL RLRL RRLL RLRL RRLL?

[dtdrummerlady]

@InHumanForm555 RRLL RRLL RRLL RRLL RLRR LRLL RLRR LRLL doubles and paradiddles

[SnarePlague]

get to 250. It's super fun and Chop building!

[Spacecowboyy]

excellentttt!



[han0014]

Clean as man. CLEAN!

Keep it up.

[mmaannuueell3]

that's insane

[benoitdrums1996]

Im at 160 :\

[jerkass411]

cleanest 225bpm paradiddles I've ever seen

[ParodyDrummer]

@MrHydrogoon My rudiments are fantastic, in fact i made second snare my freshman year. second out of six. not bad if i do say so myself.

[bentecho]

whoa there, how the hell do you get your paradiddles up there, that is amzing!

[dtdrummerlady]

@bentecho Keep the sticks low, relax, and practice, practice, practice!!!! HA

[ctdjazz]

Those are 16ths at 225, but that's ok.

[ParodyDrummer]

That was bad. There was no difference in the diddles and the accents



[dtdrummerlady]

@ParodyDrummer It wasn't supposed to have accents! I was playing double stroke rolls into paradiddles that came from a DCI show that the Cavaliers played many years ago. Try it! It is supposed to sound like rolls all the way through.

[MrHydrogoon]

@ParodyDrummer bad? let's have a look at your rudiments then, i bet they are fantastic.

[Spacecowboyy]

@ParodyDrummer there were no accents. a paradiddle is supposed to sound exactly like a single stroke roll or even a double stroke roll when played right. that's the trick.

[feelinfine10]

@ParodyDrummer you be hating.



[mentzsana]

Thumb up!

[VictorTheBestR10]

She must be Dave Weckl's daughter..

... and Tony Royster Jr's mom!

[dtdrummerlady]

@VictorTheBestR10 HAHA Thanks for that compliment! When I worked in our local music store, we had Dave Weckl and Tony Royster to come in (separately) and do clinics. So I was lucky to show Tony R some new hybrid rudiments that he didn't know, and got to go to dinner with Dave at the end of his clinic. I wanted to play some paradiddles with him, but was chicken to ask him during the clinic! HAHA

[VictorTheBestR10]

@dtdrummerlady Woow! show new rudiments to Tony Royster aren't easy! You know about drums just like Bruce Lee know about martial arts! Congratulations from Brazil!

[dtdrummerlady]

@VictorTheBestR10 Check out my other paradiddle video 190-235 bpm, with no rolls in between!

[kyjello12]

if i didnt see you playing double strokes i wouldnt have know that you were. thats skill.

[carcassgrindcorpsesc]

that was fucking fast... could you do a video but with a drum orchestration?

[drums4life1100]

I am considerably impressed. Great sound quality from both hands. Good work!

[allmetaliswelcome]

HOLY SHIT

[sgtm1775]

I'm not a drummer by any stretch of the word but isn't the sticking pattern RLRR LRLL?

[dtdrummerlady]

@sgtm1775 Yes, the sticking for paradiddles is rlrr, lrll and that is what I am playing, but I also explain that I am playing double stroke rolls and paradiddles. Going from one into the other.

[sgtm1775]

@dtdrummerlady Very cool. I just couldn't keep up. You've got some chops.

[XxLudwiGxX94]

7 people are sexist

[Koshimae217]

lemme pick up my jaw,i think its open,,,this sounds like morse code! which is hard on snare :P ur best,

[mahzerwrath]

your playing 16th notes. not 32nds. just sayin :p

[dillonrockband]

Dang!! How'd you get that fast?? I'm 14 and when I'm old enough I want to try out for the OU drumline so I want to practice all this essential stuff.

[griesrt]

if you accented the first note at the start of every paradiddle then you could go much faster. If you don't play the accent then it isn't a paradiddle. Consult your rudiments book.

[dtdrummerlady]

@griesrt I was playing a passage from the Cavaliers way back in the 70's when they played a roll, straight into paradiddles to sound like rolls. They were still considered paradiddles.

[Velcrol]

@dtdrummerlady Correct!100 points!

[trashbash2001]

@griesrt since when does not accenting the the start of every paradiddle not make it a paradiddle?

[elcapoinca]

@griesrt dont be silly. of course its a paradiddle, in fact excactly the opposite of what youre saying. a paradiddle coming from a single or double stroke roll without accents comiing nice and smooth like this video, IS  a paradiddle. a true one. now with accents of course you can go faster coz you apply moeller in it, whipiing motion for the first note, then moeller for the secoond two hits. and accents can be moved around the whole thing to vary and change dynamics. but the paradiddle is that.

[elcapoinca]

@griesrt (continued) as simple as that RLRRLRLL

[Hodgey093]

@griesrt Dude, the accent on the first note of each beat doesn't make it a paradiddle. With your logic, if you accent the second note of each beat it isn't a paradiddle, right? It's the sticking pattern that makes it a paradiddle, not the accents.

[dustlips59]

@griesrt so your telling me lrll rlrr isnt a paradiddle hah c'mon thats like saying its not a puh-dah dah if you dont accent the first note hahaha some people are just so stupid!

[EvanPwnsYou]

@griesrt its still a paradiddle if you dont accent it you idiot

[XylussN]

@griesrt A paradiddle is a paradiddle even if you don't play the accent bro

[drumzgoboom]

@griesrt ...No. Paradiddles have nothing to do with accents. It's all sticking.

[S1lv3rdo7]

@griesrt incorrect sir, a paradiddle is a sticking pattern, not a musical phrase. 

[MADROCKS212]

@griesrt ? accent or no accent its still a paradiddle, grid it and it doesnt sound like the beginners paradiddle your talking about.

[ErrorUncertainty]

@griesrt Re. accents: Not true matey. Consult a different rudiments book. Like Buddy Rich's for example

[nenbran]

@griesrt lawls.

[Savatage721]

Great Job Man!!! No Doubt.

[dslayer221]

Shit lady you're the real deal. Nice chops :D

[bradfordseaton]

those aren't 32nd notes.they're 16's.

[LOLE1991KOVIN]

@bradfordseaton Those are 32nd notes on 112 bpm! But that's 16th notes at 225bpm...

[bradfordseaton]

@LOLE1991KOVIN well the title doesn't say 112 big guy.I believe it says 225.correct me if I'm wrong.

[DruMmMeuR]

its paradiddles mix with double stroke, should be the title, im not fool, playing only paradiddles without double in between is harder, and that would impress me

[dtdrummerlady]

@DruMmMeuR check out the newer video I put up of JUST paradiddles from 190-235bpm.  No rolls.

[gentotski]

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't those 16notes?

They still are fast man. Its taking me forever to get to 200 much more for 225. I'm up to 180 now.

[dtdrummerlady]

@gentotski Yes, they are 16th notes at 225bpm. At marching speed at 112bpm they would be 32nd notes. That is why I call them 32nd note paradiddles cause you play 2 paradiddles for every quarter note down beat. sorry if I misled anyone. I have another video ready to upload that has me up to 235 or 240.....just can't get YTube to upload correctly. Need Help!!

[Velcrol]

@gentotski 16ths per hand xD

[ghtght100]

very nice i am a drummer myself nd i currently got my paradiddle to around 260 bpm which would b the fastest in my age group

[poppzee]

haha thats the practice pad i have! :) nice diddles wish i could do that. i can almost do that with R L R R L L.

[DCussen]

Darn!! You just totally schooled me. I can't get past 180 with that.

[Zason816]

no f*cking way ahaha my mind is blown

[drummerdog80]

dang

[HelloSquiggles]

I max at 150 on a good day and 140-145 on a normal day. Those are some mind blowing chops man.

[dtdrummerlady]

Thanks! I am going to try a paradiddle video again soon. That video was Christmas Eve and I had just gotten my Youtube camera. I had not warmed up before my son took the video. And of course we had to try downloading it to see how it would work. HA

[john3047X]

push yourself man 150 aint that fast

[DruMmMeuR]

Great work, double stroke with paradiddle, maybe you do this because it is hard to do only the paradiddle over and over again at 225.

but this isn't 32nd notes but 16th

32nd notes = 8 hits on each click, you do 4 hits on each one. It could be 32nd notes at 112.5 bpm, but in this video, it's 16th notes at 225.

[FaithIsAccidental]

Well obviously it's not going to be 32nd notes at 225bpm. -_-

*sigh*

[terrypercussion24]

are u fitting a full SP in between each click or just the rlrr(or lrll)

[spacitydrummer4JC]

..bump it up to 250

[dtdrummerlady]

Ha! I wish I could. I have been up to 245 a couple of yrs ago, but don't know if I can do it again.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

Sure you can, go for it!

[john3047X]

its all in the mind go for it!

[bonzoleum]

Terrific! Excellent control!!

[666000012411]

hahahah oh wow thats good haha

[punkart957]

My doubles can go WAY faster than the online metronome I use, sadly =P But, even being a fairly fast drummer compared to my drumline, I can only go to about 208 with paradiddles O.O

[yeahyeahyeahyeahya]

It seems like the paradiddles are just a TAD slow, not even late just on the back side of the beat. But seriously, that's amazing! Nice work I enjoy your videos! Especially the flam studies videos. That pattern is a lot like one of the warm ups I play for my indoor line :D

[anakamu]

beautiful!!!

will you suggest some practice to increase speed for paradiddle???

[anklebreaker1557]

thats amazing! mine is only at 135 lol

[Enuop]

What if she doesnt want to?

[dtdrummerlady]

Thank you!

[Enuop]

lol.

[flippyflipper1239]

Hold on let me pick my jaw up, it hit the floor.

[kplt1234]

It's only 112.5

[dtdrummerlady]

Read the other comments about 16th vs.32nd

[Aaaronicus]

i like the way your paradiddle pulse back and forth...

[IxISxAxDRUMMerXgirl]

wow i can play at 270bpm!!!!

[Wolverine51324]

Whoa clean

[Neusance26]

wooaahh..

I have a hard time counting out my 32nd notes = /

[jdrum12]

Pretty nice! I can just about match this. It is hard to play just paradiddles at this tempo. I can understand why you switch from doubles to paradiddles.

[F990]

those aren't 32nd note paradiddles, they are 16th note paradiddles, but either way, great job!

[dtdrummerlady]

If the marching tempo was say, 112bpm and you are playing 2 paradiddles per quarter note, yes, they are 32nd notes.

[F990]

true, and who am I to complain, you blow me out of the water...how do you play that fast???

[dtdrummerlady]

The same way you get to Carnegie Hall. Practice, Practice, Practice!!!! HA HA

[Drumdakota1]

...technically you can march at 225... watch the cavies do it =D

[justinnkr3w]

lol was that a shot at thier head bobing? xD

[MrFreeman420]

that are lady Oo

[saxobien]

That's awesome...

I never really learned paradiddles and all the marching stuff. I drum 100% on hearing... I lack some serious technique.

Going to start practicing them though, they seem to be really good excersizes for speeding up while maintaining stick control.

Just work your way up slowly right?

[sixfiguredrumer]

yeah dont rush and skip things or you will be uneven,you dont really want a dominate hand,you wanna try to keep them equal/

[dtdrummerlady]

Huh? LOL

[c0r4g]

C'mon, be honest, you're really a man...

[ElasticWrath]

why do you call yourself "lady"?

why not just say its you?

you deserve to be a little cocky.

[teddyseward]

i wish my mom was as cool as you

[glareonthesnare]

i can almost play mine that fast

[led0zeppelin1977]

heavy hitter pad! very nice, i just got one a week ago haha

[dbrddr]

if the met's at 225, those are 16-note paradiddles. 4 notes per beat.

[dtdrummerlady]

Yes, technically you are correct. They are called 32nd notes because you are actually playing two paradiddles for each quarter note. So the tempo would really be half of 225=112. the 225 tells how fast the 16ths actually are. You couln't march at 225, but you can play it.HA Understand? I knew someone would catch it one day! LOL

[dtdrummerlady]

Arm, wrist and the fingers helping also.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

It's mainly arm motion, right?

[LegendofJ]

Its really not that fast if you approach it as "2 singles and a double" repeated rather than sticking it out. Eh.

[redstartn]

Thank you for that revelation! Seriously. It's simple when you think about it.

[taz4yomind]

Those are 16th notes not 32nd. Because your right hand is lined up with the ticks on the roll part and your playin the paradiddles just as fast of as the role.

[wearefamily12]

wow! im still workin on switching from rolling to the real paradiddle, but you have it down perfectly! nice vid!

[mccubeical]

whats the point big whoop

[xawesomexelix]

Hahah nice.

[keegs182]

Thats not paradiddles only ! you doing half doubles... why do you do that ? cant you hold paradiddles all the way through ... oh and a paradiddle should have accents on the beat .. try that on 230 bpm then ill be inpresed

[dtdrummerlady]

Normally, when you are playing 32nd note paradiddles, you are coming in and out of other rudiments into them. I was playing Corps style rolls and paradiddles to sound like rolls (you don't accent them)

[backbeatbobby]

oh shut up you geek stop tryin nit pick she never said she was goin hold paradiddles all the way through she plays what she stated you post something if u can do better

[Jerahmeel]

What kind of sticks were you using? Awesome.

[dtdrummerlady]

Those are Vic Firth Ralphie Jr's (Ralph Hardimon jr. sticks) I like them because they aren't as heavy as the reg Ralph Hardimon marching sticks.

[Jerahmeel]

Hahaha. That is funny, cause I tried doing the exact same thing with normal Ralphies. Hahah. But I couldn't achieve the cleaness as you.

[flipskater241]

were those paradiddles or paradiddle diddles?

[dtdrummerlady]

Those are 32nd note paradiddles.

[bomberbadj]

well im astounded. you are superior to me as far as paraddidles go...wow

[Drumtome]

Just plain impressive. your a great drummer ive watched all of your vids.

[xthemisterwizardx]

This video looks like a challenge to others MM paradiddle settings....It also looks like she has one of the new VF Stock Pads.

[dtdrummerlady]

Awesome!!

[wheelholder12]

it sounded like you were a little slow on the paradiddlesthen rushed to catch up but it was awesome.paradiddles at that speed are hard to control but you did a great job.

[dtdrummerlady]

Yeh, I agree, I should have warmed up more than I did.!!!!
