Rudiments Series. Lesson 2 – Double Paradiddle

Sticky Post By On 7th September 2020

Hi Everyone.

Hope you’ve all had fun playing paradiddles and have tried some of the ideas in video number 1?

Today, we are looking at the next ‘Diddle’ rudiment… a Double Paradiddle.

In this video, you will learn the correct sticking of a Double Paradiddle. You will also learn the correct stroke types and volumes. When you’re comfortable with the basic rudiment, I show various ways you can apply it around the kit incorporating your toms and play some different grooves.

Remember, these are just a handful of ideas. There are many, many other ways of playing a Double Paradiddle. I’m simply offering a few ideas to get you started and hopefully you will find your own creative path.

In the final section, I show what styles of music would work with this rudiment.

Once again, I have not used notation as I don’t want to exclude anyone from the learning process.

Lesson 3 will be coming soon and we will be taking a look at Triple Paradiddles and Paradiddle – Diddles in the same lesson.

 

Thanks for watching and see you on the next one.

 

Graeme

 

About the Author

Graeme Hare My Name is Graeme Hare. I'm a drummer/percussionist from the North East of England. Before it's demise, I was the longest serving teacher at Newcastle Drum Centre and had the pleasure of teaching many North East students over a 12 year period. Because of my links with The Drum Centre and Northumberland County Music Service, I had the opportunity to present drum clinics and perform alongside drummers such as Zoro, Gregg Bissonette, Simon Edgoose, Michael Schack, Horacio Hernandez, Steve Ferrone, Will Calhoun, Rodney Holmes and Thomas Lang. I have played drums for Sting and Mel B and I'm currently working regularly in the North East and around the country in various outfits playing everything from theatre shows to wedding functions. My day job revolves around privately teaching drum kit, Samba drumming and African drumming in local schools and running my business, www.drumming-workshops.co.uk providing workshops in schools, colleges and special events across the country.
