V-Drum Video #5 - Paradiddles

Quick lil' mini drum lesson for ya. I gloss over a lot of things, but hey, it's free.

A great book for practicing paradiddles and all sorts of variations of sticking patterns that can be applied to a drumkit is "Stick Control". Here, it's this one: http://tinyurl.com/4nekat I've probably spent more hours staring at the pages of this book than any other as I practiced drums over the years.

Happy Diddles!

A single paradiddle is just RLRRLRLL or LRLLRLRR. Nothing else.

Apparently he knows more than you.

Ahh the age old question, electronic or acoustic drums...

They both have their advantages and (now ) disadvantages.  Solution: Buy both! (or many of both) like I did.

Fine drumming, by the way. Steve Gadd is the master of paradiddle grooves.
