Steve Plays a Paradiddle-diddle groove

I think I was inspired to play this groove based on one of Mike's iPod lessons. Can't remember for sure, but probably so. Everything new I play is something I learned from Mike. :)

whats that poster you've got beside you on the wall? looks like a checklist or something... i could use that

[mikesstudents]

It's the Vic Firth "Groove Essentials" poster, a list of basic grooves for the major genres of music (rock, jazz, world grooves, etc.) The poster comes with Tommy Igoe's Groove Essentials DVD, but you can order the poster by itself through Vic Firth, I believe. If not, you can probably find one easily on eBay. Hope that helps!
