Drum Rudiments #18 - Triple Paradiddle - DrumRudiments.com

[mrfreedomthomas]

Thank god I'm a lefty.....but it sucks because everything has a right lead....

[TheMexChipmunk]

THE STICKS ARE NOT FUCKING CUT OFF, THEY'RE TIMBALE STICKS!

If you don't know what they are Google them...

[palakiller]

ALL LIES jackin off with the left hand dun work i do it all the time cause my right hand holds the mouse but im still slow on my left hand

[TheBassguy1]

look up Paradiddle Joe on youtube. im friends with that guys son, who plays guitar and not drums lol. he does a triple 40x as fast.

[petermenking]

the end isnt cut off hes holding the sticks backwards

[drummerdog80]

why are the tips cut off?

[alonwave]

@drummerdog80 i think they were cut off bc the end was too heavy 4 him

[lardaz]

@drummerdog80

theory 1 .... so as not to break tips on a nonresponsive practice board

theory 2 .... he has already broken his tips on a nonresponsive practice board

Theory 3 .... the recording sounded better that way

Theory 4 .... You exist solely within your own parallel universe... you decide why he does it and you'll be right...

[H0022]

@lardaz i think they are made that way

[dvdheinsen]

u count this as paraparapara diddle para means right left are however u start it and diddle means 2 of one hand so its paraparaparadiddle

R L, R L, R L, R R if u start with your right and

L R, L R, L R, L L if u use ur left first

[overkill54]

So how do you count this?

Like Paradiddle is Pare-a-did-dle, R-L-R-R

How do you say the count?

[overkill54]

Thanks!

[Roxas6285]

@overkill54 i count it like this trip-le-doub-le-para-did-dle

[00ThePolice00]

@overkill54 it would be para-para-paradiddle even though it does sound strange.

[zombiejesus94]

it's a triple paradiddle it's a triple paradiddle

or one ee and a two ee and a one ee and a two ee and a.....

[AirmetalDrummer]

@overkill54 it depends what tempo you are on. They can be from 32nd notes to quarter notes and beyond.

The easiest way is to make them 16th notes probably.

|| 1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 e & a ||

That would be one measure of paradiddles.

each number/letter/symbol repressents 1 16th note. each number/letter/symbol also repressents a right or a left stroke.

So to put it in right/left form. to match it would be:

|| R L R R L R L L R L R R L R L L ||

Hope that helps!

[AirmetalDrummer]

@overkill54 wow, I was scrolling through these way too fast. Thought we were on a single paradiddle. lol sry.

|| 1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 e & a ||

Same set up as single paradiddle, only different sticking.

|| R L R L R L R R L R L R L R LL ||

It's easiest to focus on the single strokes of the leading hand. For example:

[R] l [R] l [R] l R R [L] r [L] r [L] r L L

[1, 2, 3, & a, 1, 2, 3, & a] is how I think of it.

Hope that helps.

[tatertot470]

sausikchia or whatever is a fucking retar i think he has a mental illness

[gc1haha]

Try beatin' off with the left. Does the trick everytime~ Cheers!

[griffinthe]

lul that what she said

[GunnerGraham]

How can I get my left hand up to speed?I use a powerball daily,but my LH is crap.Any suggestions?

[digitalphunc]

Practice.

[LieJo0N]

try some things like:  R-L-L-R-L-L-R-L-L-R-L-L

[sasukeuchiha9724]

thats some easy beat u got there dude

[Cemo123321]

I'm A Drummer But I've Never Heard Of A Power Ball What Is It ?

[trejomino]

It's (I think) something that strengthens your wrist. You can find them at sporting stores for a couple bucks. Just google powerball.

[L0Ryuzaki]

Another suggestion is to start doing everything with your left hand to coordinate it. Like practice writing, eating, opening doors, turning on lights, etc with your left hand. It'll help your coordination. One our our best snare drummers did that and it helped.

[sasukeuchiha9724]

u know basketball is kinda like drum coz get some weights but not realy heavy ones just ones that ur rist can cary not ur arm hold it with ur left hand nd keep movin ur rist up nd down(fink itl work jst try)

[VidEffects]

what you should try is go back to single and double paradiddles try the lefties a lot slower than righties and gradually pick up the tempo (a metronome helps A LOT)

[hyrael2]

a triple is ;

R-L-R-L-R-L-RR L-R-L-R-L-R-LL

[ndnsurfer]

yeah, i left another comment, he's right....i wa thinking double...my bad....my appologies

[ndnsurfer]

dude, that's not a tripple paradiddle.

tripple paradiddle is: dat-dat-dat-dat-datdat

[PsychoticCat723]

Isn't that a double? RLRLRR-LRLRLL? A triple is RLRLRLRR-LRLRLRLL.

[obliviondick]

well judging from your explanation he is playing triples....

[Nuggetmasterman]

Yes.
