Drum Lesson "Paradiddle 4-4"

[jerseyboys5]

Come on guys!!!!!!!!!Do you wanna learn from him or me?!:D

[DCussen]

Not bad, but I think his ghost notes need to be quieter to accentuate the quarter pulse.

[pablobarri]

muchas grasias

[Drakett]

Lol he looks like Steve Wilkos

[hebronsawyers]

Agreed

[mawkheaf]

pretty coool

[andrevth]

for paradiddles, when u play the double strokes on the right hand and left hand, must u hit the stick twice, as in there are 2 movements of the hand, or do u just simply let the stick bounce twice, which means theres only one hand movement?

[davell43087]

You want to let it bounce twice with one movement. So it goes single, single, double, single, single, double. Practice your open double stroke roll to improve paradiddle

[andrevth]

woah ok now i know thanks!

[robthedrummer]

Really, I wouldn't let it bounce. When I play, I try to stick everything, therefore you have way more control and you can accent whatever notes you want to.

[themaliced]

yeah, i agree, because in this way, you're actually playing the right rhythm because sometimes i hear people playing the diddles as a double stroke instead of 2 sixteenths.

[stevenumberone]

I would suggest that it's actually somewhere between the two. In the same sense as dribbling a basketball, you are letting the stick do most of the work but guiding it with your fingers.

[wagglemonkey]

its definitely easier to do the double as a bounce but it is more beneficial down the road to play the double as 2 single hits with one hand. it allows for better drum to drum transfers and it gives it a really cool feel if you accent the second note of the double. i think you should practice it as 2 single hits but perform with a double for the mean time cause its easier to pull off

[aassyr1111]

....4-4 "drom" beat.....i love english ppl

[jayesuperaguriF1]

that helps thank u man u are well cool

[Hendivo]

nice job, but i think that you're a bit out of sync (tooo fast) with the snare drum in the slow parts, such as 0:27 - 0:31 and about 1:11.

[stevenumberone]

Twat.

[happyrichie]

thanks alot man, just got some drums and this lesson is one of the beast so far!! paradiddle away!

[bigSheaD]

are you using heel-toe in there, it's hard to tell

[antillmusic]

Very good job! Five stars for this lessson, always wondered how to incorporate the paradiddle.

Cheers, Antill

[bandeavindjeu]

thanks

[Ritzounett]

you're doing great!

[j3sfreak]

Got the concept... I just can't do it that fast! :(( or maybe... yet? :-/ Got the drums thing going, got rhythm and stuff... but I'm terrible at speed - I see you doing your thing and I'm like... :O How am I ever gonna do that? Is it just me... or are there some other folks that need a lot of practice on that? :-/

[futbolera]

how old are you? :-) and how long have you been drumming? just practice practice practice :-D

[lespaulgtars]

practice at one speed until ur literally bored doing it take a break and come back and speed it up it'll get easier

[fattyeggfacedead]

worth puttin on youtube..

[mikehabibi]

It's Will Sasso disguised as an Irish drummer....brilliant!

[supersxcsebby]

[ifuckeddonkeykong]

[IlcarillondiSuami]

[salakbatu]

thanks

[n1k1n]

OMG hax0r :), nice man!

[aopenman123]

sir your sick... in a good way!

[Pulcino84]

thank you!!!

[conjigalo]

a paradiddle is always in 4/4 because of the amount of notes in each segment. unless you want to deconstruct the two parts, if so, that means it is not a paradiddle anymore. so a paradiddle will be in 4/4 if you play it as crotchets, quavers or semi quavers. anyway nice vid.

[OneRiddum]

paradiddles is only sticking, not duration value.

[conjigalo]

yes but because it has eight notes in it, that are counted as either crotchets quavers or semi quavers it is 4/4.

It can't be 6/8 for example because it doesn't have 6 quavers in.

[OneRiddum]

oh, well what about

6/8 right left rest rest right right

[conjigalo]

RIGHT! i see what you are talking about.

The problem is, if you put rests in it like that, it isn't a single rudiment.

what you wrote is two single strokes two rests and the two double strokes.

this makes it two aeperate rudiments because of the two beat rests.

[OneRiddum]

okay okay fair enough. i gotchya now. rests arent part of the rudiment paradiddle. makes sense to me.

[conjigalo]

ok cool. peace man.

[tserhey]

I fail to see the connection between time signatures and phrases of certain length. Are you saying that you can't play a paradiddle in 3/4? Or 17/16? A paradiddle is a phrase of four notes that has the sticking of RLRR (LRLL). The subdivision or the time signature has nothing to do with the phrase itself -- if you play four consecutive notes of any subdivision with the paradiddle sticking, it's a paradiddle.

[dna123green]

yes, you do fail to see that this is simply a paradiddle for 4/4. the guy is just showing the one for the 4/4 beat. not to complicated i hope...

[tserhey]

I wasn't referring to this video, but the comment that stated that "a paradiddle is always in 4/4", which clearly isn't true.

[jcmacfarlane]

He never said "a paradiddle is always in 4/4".

[tserhey]

Please read conjigalo's comment, in which he stated that "a paradiddle is always in 4/4 because of the amount of notes in each segment." This is of course incorrect, and I was referring to this comment only and not the video itself. Come on, people. Reading isn't _that_ difficult.

[pplooc4p]

I watched twice before i wrote. Chop is there but groove is shakey. Smooth out the accents & get your kick to thump & your beats will travel better. I mean that as constructive opinion. Cheers from a fellow drummer.

[doctorwho24496]

Nicely done I learnt it like right left right right left right left left.

[BloodyArrows]

in the zone meng

[DrummerGP5150]

[abigorswhisper]

reminds me of sunday bloody sunday when you do it slow at the begining

[Stjonnypopo]

haha me too it was cool

[amvacct]

I really need to learn this paradiddle! the only problem is is that my left hand stiffens when it is its turn to hit...

[Asadq]

wowww!!

[drummerman19931011]

Dude, I thought you were gonna suck balls, but that actually sounded good!!

[Preeemo]

Man, you friggin' rock-- and you make it look so easy.

[MakeMyDayGirl]
