Inverted paradiddle diddle Part 2

A brief description and use of the inverted paradiddle diddle played as RLLRRL or LRRLLR. Explained and used as sextuplets (6 notes) for snare rolls with tom accents. This sticking enables the left and right hand to move more freely around the kit for tom accents during a triplet feel but can also be used for improvisation in a straight feel, as opposed to using just singles or double strokes, this is a more 'economical' approach to achieve the same feel.

Man, these are great. Addictive. I saw your youtube on RLLRRL a few weeks ago and haven't stopped fooling with them. I alternate them with LRRLLR, and also the original paradiddle diddle RLRRLL and LRLLRR. Mostly i use the triplet/sextuplet feel with them. Thanks!!! Do you usually use just the single strokes for moving to the toms & accents? Or use parts of the double strokes too?

Thanks.

@mpiet55 Thanx man, I do use doubles on the toms sometimes, but the sticking is different and incorporates kick drum. With this one, both singles can come together on the one tom, and if you incorporate your kick, you can get some cool 16 triplet fills, or play it faster for some 32nd note fills : ) Dean

the sticking seems to be the same as a six stroke roll, the difference must be in the accent placement and the length between the notes right? im still tryin to get my rudiments down, great video.

@wardrumma yep, but i related it to a paradiddle cause of my last vid where I was using paradiddle sticking for a groove. yeah man, I still struggle getting everything smooth, I think it's a life long battle for some of us. Dean : )

Addendum...my sticking pattern on the song ("The Cinema Show") is:

R R L R L L R R L R L L R (repetitive)

I checked that track out and no sextuplet patterns really stood out to me, I watched a few live videos, I dont know the studio version...there's some 7/8 stuff goin on aswell. If u look at your sticking, starting on the single left hand, it's a  paradiddle diddle sextuplet. I'm also self taught.

Saludos desde Argentina!! esto me es de gran utilidad!!! espectacular!!

[blight4hire]

correct me if i am wrong, but your inverted paradiddle as you phrased it is actually a six stroke roll as well?

Nice!

Thanks for your response/opinion - I assumed that my sticking was incorrect, but (in the meantime) it still fits the time signature...(I found out that) you are right about the 7/8 - although I mistakenly perceived the measure as being longer (~13/14)...it's nice to know another self-taught drummer (along with Dennis Chambers)...I thought I had read that Phil Collins was self-taught, too...thanks again...I appreciate your videos...
