This lesson is about how to make your Paradiddle cool and why you should bother learning the Paradiddle to the FULL! There are literally INFINITE FILL OPTIONS using just this pattern! This lesson is a beginner drum lesson, an intermediate drum lesson, AND an advanced drum lesson. Why? Because the Paradiddle is one of the first things you ever learn and is very easy to understand, it will take an intermediate drummer to add two kicks in and play it with dynamics, and it will take an advanced drummer to get it up to speed with the dynamics. BOOM!
This lesson includes how to practice the Paradiddle, how to apply the Paradiddle on drums (in a cool way), how to play the Paradiddle up to speed in an efficient manner (that sounds KILLER), and, why the Paradiddle is SO important.
If you follow the exercises that I lay out in this video, there is no better way to practice this rudiment. You will learn exactly how to orchestrate it in a way that sounds fantastic without the bass drum, & learn how to add the bass drum into your Paradiddle in a Linear fashion that makes it sound HUGE.
Ultimately, this lesson will allow to construct any sentence you want using the Paradiddle. Each accent pattern I give you here should be considered a word (with and without the kicks), giving you ultimate freedom in this rudiment.
Thank you SO much for watching and please comment below with any questions you may have! I would be delighted to help! How do you use the Paradiddle in your playing? Let me know, I would love to hear about it!
