Smokin' Fast Paradiddles [BUILDER EXERCISE]

[CaitlinAnnLester]

well hello there...you are hot.

[MrDrummerboy79]

That's some seriously stiff technique there.

[ice8292]

where did u get the intro music from? ive heard it on "when radio was"

[Tom6093]

To much skill for Travis Barker

[hutchinson97361]

@Tom6093 Travis who?

[Tom6093]

@hutchinson97361 Exactly !!!!!

[SK8ERTEEN98]

@PercussionWeekly these are called double stroke rolls

[SynicManicPanic]

Subscribed and post more videos!

[spacitydrummer4JC]

Title should be "Technique to Achieve Smokin' Fast Paradiddles."

[hamlet1341]

Paradiddle is R L RR L R LL. Diddle is ALWAYS on the same hand that you started with.

[PercussionWeekly]

@hamlet1341 This is known as a builder exercise for helping you play paradiddles faster. So the sticking you noted is the same sticking the instruction eventurally builds up to play.

[drummerboy81000]

@hamlet1341 really? NO SHIT

[1Co118]

Can we actually see some "Smokin' Fast Paradiddles"?

[thatsexyArmyCadet]

vic firth heavy hitter pad is better

[NichlasNorlander]

I just lost a drinking competition because of you! I thought you would do it fast!!!!!

[PercussionWeekly]

@NichlasNorlander Sorry you lost. Titled changed. Do drink and drum...

[NichlasNorlander]

@PercussionWeekly

It's okay brow :P

one of my friends (a drummer) gave me a challenge. who could do the fastest paradiddles. I was drunk and thought I could trick him by showing this video, but no xD

[EmceeingDrummer]

plz check out my drum videos im 13. :)

[chessdude67]

Cool!

NOTE: You can still change the "Title". :)

[PercussionWeekly]

@chessdude67 Title changed. Sorry about that.

[chessdude67]

@PercussionWeekly No problem, I thank you for doing the videos!

Take care,

Tim

[flyxdvd]

this is something i have learned on my second lesson 6 years ago haha :P almost the samme

[Zalmoxishina]

Good JOB man! THX

[hazzaminicoo]

i thought it was RLRRLRLLRLRR and so on?/

[Sthrudel]

Another trick that I do is to play additional beat at the end of the paradiddle: R L R R R L R L L L

[HughWalenski]

The title "YouTube" really means, 'Prepare for unnecessarily harsh criticism'.

[xXSqurrillyAdamsXx]

:( Misleading title is misleading :(

[PercussionWeekly]

@xXSqurrillyAdamsXx Title changed. Sorry about that...

[mikegalsworthy]

Looks cool. Always love surprising new angles on stuff I do. I'll try it. :)

[GenocidalEdge]

Except that you're not supposed to accent any of the notes in a paradiddle.

[AZappaFan]

@GenocidalEdge True.



[family7485]

I wish I could play smokin fast paradiddles like you.

[57johnston]

hi im new to drumming and i was wondering what accents were?

[HitTheWheel]

@57johnston Just hitting the drum harder for that note.

By the way thet pad looks like it doesn't have much recoil.

[MMAboi1126]

Fast forward to 1:24



[PercussionWeekly]

@MMAboi1126 :(

[pianistnumber8]

those aren't parididles its rlrr lrll

[PercussionWeekly]

Hi @pianistnumber8. This is simply a paradidle builder exercise. It should help you to identify weaknesses in your technique to help you play faster paradiddles. Sorry for the confusion. Try it! You might be surprised.

[neilyvanneily]

To everyone who's confused:

He's breaking down paradiddles by first leaving some of the notes out--and then adding them in later:

R r

L l

R rr

L ll

Rlrr

Lrll

See how it builds?

[PercussionWeekly]

Thanks @neilyvanneily!

[TheDrewsoccer]

wat the fuck

[ericnrivers]

Title's a little misleading...

[PercussionWeekly]

Hi @ericnrivers sorry for the misleading title. Hope the exercise helps!

[gi0vanni888]

@ericnrivers definitely

[fancyteridatyl]

RLRR LRLL BUDDY...

[dustyowl99]

@fancyteridatyl thats what he plays its broken up differently

[PercussionWeekly]

Thats correct. Thanks @dustyowl99

[RCRhythm]

No demonstration? I mean, I'm all for the information here. It's really not too shabby. But I have to admit that the question about this dude's ability to play "smokin' fast" paradiddles crossed my mind.

Can he?

[PercussionWeekly]

@RCRhythm Sorry for the misleading title. This is simply a paradidle builder exercise. It should help you to identify weaknesses in your technique to help you play faster paradiddles. Sorry for the confusion. Try it! You might be surprised. Also, sorry for the lack of a demo of fast paradiddles. I'm a bit old but check out the snareline for 2001, 2002 winter RCC or 2002 Blue Devils you'll see me playing a few pretty fast. Hope this exercise helps. Thanks!

[RCRhythm]

@PercussionWeekly Oh, so you know Aaron. Nice guy. I rubbed elbows with him a few times on the internet. As for the paradiddle thing: I've clocked mine at 308 as 16ths for four measures at a time, and I don't know a whole hell of a lot of people on Earth who can do that, so I'm more in to some of the rudiments I ignored as a kid; ratamacues, Swiss rudiments, etc. This practice method you've got here is pretty slick, though. I'm definitely going to use it to work my hand-to-hand ruffs. Peace!

[katodmx007]

@PercussionWeekly how about you change the title then? this video has been up for month stop, beeing a polite douche.

[xpmpjce21x]

@PercussionWeekly just change the title to "paradidle builder exercise"

[MrTimdrums]

Nice!  Thanks, buddy.

[Coderedenator]

As a snare drummer for a world class drumline in WGI, I started off with that exact same exercise, then went to paradiddle variations. This helps out so much when hoping to succeed in the percussive position. Great job PercussionWeekly.

[nhach2]

How is he not playing paradiddles? He breaks it down and ends with exactly a paradiddle... it even says it is a break down of the paradiddle.

[MrBasslineDROP]

HI JERRY. :D

[DJBubbaClarance]

That's not a paradiddle.

Paradiddle's are RLRR LRLL.

Or paradiddle-diddle's, RLRRLL.

I suggest a simple excersise doing 2 paradiddle phrases and then a paradiddle-diddle. Rinse and repeat.

[PercussionWeekly]

@DJBubbaClarance Thanks for the comment. You are correct paradiddles are rlrr lrll and that is in fact what the instructor is demonstrating. This exercise is probably more suited for the player that can play paradiddles but would like to play them faster. From the video, you can see the instructor is breaking down the paradiddle to its bare bones, if you will. This is known as a paradiddle builder, as it helps you build up to the paradiddle. Give it a try, you will be surprised. Thanks!

[wallakazoo333]

@DJBubbaClarance He's definitely not playing paradid's but he's just isolating the hand motions. The purpose of isolating the hands is to dial in CORRECT technique.

As for your suggestion, playing more paradid's gets you nowhere if you're technique is wrong. Putting out the notes is one thing; but doing that WITH the correct technique will allow you to play them at any speed with ease, while also maintaining the same sound quality and clarity.
