A paradiddle without an accent is usually called an unaccented paradiddle. If you play a true paradiddle, you need an accent. If the PAS official rudiment list says it has an accent, then you play an accent. Sure you can play it without one, for stick control, different writing, exercises, etc. but it isn't a true paradiddle. Just my 2 cents.
hi people i need some help. Recently i started drumming and i have been given a sheet by my drum teacher which says 'Single paradiddle - combination of singles and doubles, accents swap hands' and i didnt know what aceents were. please can someone help me
He is not saying there isn't an accent he is saying its easier to practice with and accent on the second one so you start to get the feeling of not making the second beat to small and uneven.
@12345timm all i can say is practice. with anything drum related, practice WITH A MET slowly at first, and then build your tempos. if you want to get fast with paradiddles, start out with this: 1. practice paradiddles at a tempo where you can stroke out every individual note. this will help build muscle memory and eventually paradiddles will become easy and you won't even have to think about them.
@12345timm make sure when you're stroking out these notes, that you get a consistent solid sound (not including accents). as you get faster and more comfortable at faster tempos, you'll need to start rebounding. the rebounding part starts at the THIRD PARTIAL (r) of the paradiddle (Rlrr), so when the diddle is played. The first two partials of the paradiddle are stroked out, then the next two partials is where the actual rebound happens.
@12345timm the trick is when you begin to diddle the third and fourth partial, the hand that is NOT diddling should be prepping for the next stroke, so when you play the last partial of the paradiddle, you'll be ready to play the next paradiddle. i hope this helps you and anyone that's wondering how paradiddles are really played. this was kind of a lazy explanation, but it's youtube :\ haha. if you got anyone questions, let me know.
@12345timm try play this sticking pattern... R rr L ll R rr L ll (Capitals indicating accents of course) and really work on playing the 'down stroke' (accent) and then playing the diddle as a controlled bounce stroke. So here you are leaving out the up stroke and focussing on the down stroke and controlling the bounce to get the diddle. At faster tempos it is this exercise that (in my opinion) will be of great benefit. Of course...PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. Start slow :) Good luck!
@sugarytumor u sir are a dumbass, it is MUCH better to play them without accents as this means u have good control, u only use accents when they are written, go watch a good drumline, it might surprise u.
@TheEpicNARWHALS LOL. alright, go look up paradiddles on google images. or go look at a vic firth rudiment poster. all of them have accents on the downbeats. ALL OF THEM HAVE ACCENTS ON THE DOWNBEATS. so you are saying, that should ignore that right!? that you are right, and that everyone else that knows how to play a correct paradiddle is wrong? i was just trying to help you, gosh. if dudes like you have a crappy attitude to constructive criticism, you will never make it anywhere. i promise.
@sugarytumor I know you're trying to sound witty and all, but not every paradiddle rudiment starts with an accent. I don't care that the VF rudiment poster you've had in your bedroom since you were 14 has an accent on the downbeat, to say there is an accent on the downbeat of EVERY paradiddle is just ignorant.
@npittman82 i'm sorry i was so douchey. yeah, every paradiddle doesn't have an accent. i think i was just saying that because this was like a lesson video and i know that some kids get points taken off in auditions for not using an accent. especially in like an open closed open demonstration. i don't know why i was so dang mean five months ago!
@sugarytumor just curious, i think the accent are not always on paradiddle, don't forget, if the first note of paradidle have an accentuation mark on, it you can put an accent, but if it's not, why should you bother to hit an accent ? ex : RLRR LRLL --> no accent (this is the real one), R*LRR L*RLL (add accent to guide or make the player more confortable with the click, it's just my opinion tho, logicly before an accent come, the originals always come first, just don't forget the idea.
@Juicer15 i understand what you are saying, you are entitled to your opinion. i think of it as more of a control thing. i never really use the accent to reassure myself with the tempo, but i guess some people do. i really think that if you can have the accent, again, you have more control. Like go try to grid paradiddles, it's pretty sweet and it will build your accent tap variation. but whatever.
@sugarytumor haha it's okay mate, it's just my opinion, but i do use some of accent if i want to play it in a 'Cool' way, you know what i'm saying yes ?, if it's about control (sorry don't take it personally fonda) he's good but need a lil bit more practice.... ah i love this sharing thought between Players. Thanks for replying me, have a good day mate.
@sugarytumor (continue) lots of thought needs to get straight, same thing happen on Triplet, most of people use accent on 1* tri plet 2* tri plet 3* tri plet 4* tri plet, i think the accentuation just a "tool" to help players so they dont get run out of tempo, basically triplet you must not forget is the one that use no accent just 1 tri plet 2 tri plet 3 tri plet 4 tri plet. Just my opinion and my personal thinking. Keep drumming guys.

there IS an accent at the beginning of every
paradiddle, paradiddle-diddle etc.

you might want to start practicing with an accent.
