4. Paradiddles: Rónán Ó Snodaigh - Bodhrán Classes

[@ToolNumber19]

Gonna be using the phrase, "It's not quite impossible" on a steady basis now. Thanks for both that gem, and the wonderful teaching. Just the way I like to learn, this.

"Not quite impossible".....quote of the week

[@readyforthebattle]

A para diddle is a drumming rudiment of single and double strokes on a drum it would be LRLL RLRR on a bodhran it would be DUDD UDUU and so on

[@RustyKnorr]

readyforthebattle, actually a paradiddle can start in any part of the sticking, but thanks pointing out how much of a simpleton you are. Nice to know there are still people out there who think they know everything telling a true master drummer how it's supposed to be done. Moron.

[@billworsfold]

Thanks Ronan for a great lesson ( a great series actually!) And thanks readyforthebattle for that tip - for some reason I find it easier to practise it that way around. And Rusty Knorr - your first line said you disagree, and that's fine, and you may even have a point, but the rest was totally unnecessary, unwarranted and rude. Thanks.

You've the best sense of humor ya' crazy b_ _ _ __d... You're totally awesome,spotty dog. Go raibh maith agat

[@MandolinSunrise]

Thanks for the great vid series, Ronan, I like your drumming at the beginning and I'd really like to get myself over to Ireland for your classes. Ah, one day. I actually found the DUUD UDDU easier than DUDD UDUU, but can't work out where the emphasis should go. Thanks again.

Great use of light for the left hand!

[@shaalis]

Oooo ooo OOO!!!!! this was a really helpful video!!!

[@JF-kv1gm]

As a relatively new player, I'm one of those who says "that's impossible", even if you slow it down! 😳 However, I said the same thing a year ago about triplets.... So, I'm going to persevere - watch this space! Fantastic, love this video, thanks. 🙏😊

[@maxskyler1206]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing, it is priceless:)

[@scottwrona7824]

Could you recommend a site where I could get a beater like that?

[@stubility]

[@scottwrona7824]

@@stubility I ended up purchasing one from Amazon.

[@itsaguinness]

What tipper do you use?

[@23seana73]

Its a violin bow modified... I think a few places now sell them... x

[@matthewshepherd5390]

I just can't move my hand that week quick not matter how much I try

[@shaalis]

Start slow. Overdo it as well as it can work your arm muscles to develop that fast twitch effect. In time you learn to control it.

[@MandolinSunrise]

Try the vid entitled 'Playing Fast, Precise Tremolo on the Mandolin' by ModalMixture, or search for 'tremolo, mandolin'. It's actually mandolin (!) but she has a good structure using metronome that'll get you playing fast, fast. I was playing mandolin for years and then got super fast in just two days. It's a mix of power, relaxation and precision. Good luck.
