Paradiddles... But In A Groove 😁

[@williamdriscoll2129]

Paradiddles along with other rudiments add so much to kit grooves and fills. I learned most of the rudiments in my teens playing snare in a drum corps. It wasn’t until I was in my 40s (longer time ago than I care to reveal) how useful they are on a kit. You are a terrific instructor. Wish you and KZbin had been around in my 20’s and 30’s when I was simply playing eighth note rock beats and swing beats on the kit. Keep up the work sharing great drumming techniques along with your brilliant sense of humor with the rest of the world.

Love all your videos. I can’t help smiling every time I watch. 😁 You are awesome 🤩

[@dreamerrt216]

That groove sounds awesome! I'm shocked I haven't come it before. Thank you!

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

One of the best grooves that I ever heard a drummer play in my band was with a paradiddle involving a cowbell... sick!

[@love_to_learn_drums]

Thank you so much!

[@genewilliams617]

She has some clever chops!

[@kevinsekeres2589]

Thank you for this awesome lesson and especially for explaining where to to put the heavy snare hit, kick drum, and ghost notes. This totally explains why my paradiddles just sound muddled and globbed together. I can't wait to go home and practice it. cheers!

You crack me up! 😂 Love this ❤

See your content for the first time, Emma. Really great stuff! :)

[@KevinJones-qr2jh]

Love this awesome groove exercise Emma😮😊

[@williemaykit7940]

That is pretty cool. I’m new to drumming and my paradiddles suck at the moment. This will give me a new way to practice them. Thanks!

[@haroldmorgan8718]

She is 100% correct. A little advice, start slow playing all four strokes. (R-L-R-R, L-R-L-L). Relax and repeat for several minutes without speeding up. Get so comfortable with them and recite something that you 100% know, like your address. When you see that you can keep the sticking pattern intact without thinking about it, then you can start accelerating. A good teacher can show you how to go from 4 strokes to 3, then eventually ONE.

Also, check out Billy Cobham.

[@ClarenceHW]

Yes! Another guitarist/keyboardist checking out the drum techniques and grooves. Really like your teaching style, a few more weeks and i'm going to take a lesson. What I've seen so far has already helped. Thanks!

Amazing bite size lesson!! Thank you Emma!

Thank you!

This is so badass! Thanks so much! I'm a guitarist first. Then a pianist. Now I'm trying drums and really struggling. You've helped speed up my learning process so much! ❤ Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@love_to_learn_drums]

Your knowledge of guitar and piano will help you! I'm sure you're smashing it ❤️ Happy New Year 🥳

[@jonathanpatrascu24]

Love it

[@millie179]

Fantastic tutorials... You deliver your videos with a 'can do' approach... Could you tell me what sticks you use and do you maintain that a heavier stick are better particularly when playing doubles,.yours sound beautiful.... Mine suck 😔😏

[@markielinhart]

Thanks for this Emma, it is awesome‼️🎄✌️

Two great examples of paradiddle grooves/beats to check out : Ian Paice (Deep Purple) "You fool no one" and Neil Peart (Rush) a para-paradiddle in the middle section of "Free Will"

I've been waiting for this. Sick iz da wurd. Nice

[@sabanaar]

I love the way you teach drumming, and I am also subscribed to your KZbin channel, BTW, do you use the Roland eDrum,. If you don't mind, what model is it? I have Roland TD25K, it doesn't sound as good as yours, thanks, and happy drumming

[@ToOldToTurnProcycling]

Wait WTF, where did the 2E come from? I get 1 and 2 and ect, but 2E😮. I decided to learn drums 6 months ago ( aged 59 ), just learning to do fills, and this is great, BIG THANKS.

[@gcorriveau6864]

Paradiddles = freeeedommm to move hands about the kit as the 'spirit moves meeee!' I love your lessons! Keeping this old guy interested in sharpening those old (quickly-fading) skills of youth! haha. Thanks for sharing.

[@ex0148]

There are no old drummer's! Just sayin! 🙂

[@love_to_learn_drums]

You're never too old to drum! I'm glad I can help, thank you for watching ❤️

[@bozzolanmusic3617]

Good !!!

[@freddb1975]

I mostly play paradiddles on grooves, and not much on fills, and I think it's weird. I found out your videos, and I really enjoy them. Why don't you give your own name for the channel, I wonder? Keep up your good work! Thanks for the lesson!

Ok I’m a guitarist ..shock Horror! But I had drum lessons for 2 years Firstly I recommend ANY musician to get drum lessons It gives you such an improved perspective in the placement of accents for every instrument and how simple motifs can produce incredible results at different speeds with different accents Second . Love your teaching style ,, needless to say I’m Back on my kit cursing for 3 years no practice 😂😂😂😂 Thank you

[@Xplora213]

Gotta disagree. Drums is a very unusual instrument where you can develop without any instruction at all. If you just read the George Stone book and apply that everywhere you can you will find all the grooves you need. It’s very time consuming but that’s drums.

I completely agree! Understanding the instruments around you is a great way to develop the skills on your own. Thank you for your comment 😊

[@AldeanLeger]

Hi hat chicks on the downbeats and kick the diddles!

[@kewlfonz]

Finally a female drummer shows how to teach music effectively, with a style utterly bereft of irrelevant piffle and trifling minutiae - She delivers the nitty gritty of drum kit playing in a clipped, humorous fashion which really does make percussion education a whole lot of fun...

[@Slade677]

She's an excellent teacher.

[@MrJacobThrall]

Careful now, all you new folks - if you start infusing your playing with paradiddles, you might end up addicted. You could spend the next thirty-odd years playing stuff that sounds kind of paradiddly whenever you sit down to play. I mean...er...maybe. So they tell me. Not that I, er, no, not me...

[@love_to_learn_drums]

Don't know what you mean, I'm definitely not addicted to paradiddles...👀😉
