This is so good, the way you flow around the kit is very fluid. I am learning. When you are on the snare, is that mostly singles or doubles or a kind of paradiddle?

[@noahdearborndrums8246]

Thanks Matt! Great question - On this one there's a combination of things. Chorus 1 - Verse 2 is all singles. Once I get to the second chorus I throw in a couple doubles on the right hand to have a strong back beat fall on the left hand. I chose that for two reasons. 1) my left hand is more comfortable playing a strong rim shot back beat on the snare as that is normally what it does when I am playing a groove; 2) I like the extra texture from a random double or two in a phrase like this. Thanks for your Q!

​@@mattyoder6085 Happy to help - I did a quick n' dirty cover of "STAY" by the Kid Laroi a little bit ago that has some similar stickings going on as well if you're interested
