Rudiments on Drums

PARADIDDLES:
For a great exercise in control, practice switching the accents
to each successive note.
The parenthesis denotes an accented note.
(R)
L R R - (L) R L L
R (L)
R R - L (R) L L

R (R) - L R L (L)
Be sure that there is a distinct difference between loud and soft
notes. Keep them clean
and even. Remember that proper execution is always more important
than speed.
PARADIDDLE-DIDDLES
..on Drumset
Play the
following sticking on the hi-hat: RLRRLL, RLRRLL (This is a paradiddle-diddle)
Put the
bass drum on the first note of the first grouping and the snare
on the first note of the second grouping (there will not be a
HH on that note).
This pattern
creates a 16th note triplet groove that sounds great intermittently
inserted over a straight eighth feel.
WipeOut!
A
terrific exercise:
This version of "WIPEOUT" incorporates single, double,
and triple paradiddles.
Repeat
over and over until you build up your speed. This is
a great exercise for hand to hand control.
