This Rudiment Should Be Used More In Your Drumming!

Like all rudiments, the paradiddle-diddle can sound awesome on the drum set in a groove context! But whatever you do with it, remember: rudiments are the building blocks of the drumming language. It’s how you speak it that makes it yours!
Probably one of the most useful rudiments is the paradiddle-diddle. The paradiddle-diddle starts with two singles and ends with two sets of doubles. In this video, Glen explains that the right-hand part of the pattern is like the reverse of a standard jazz ride pattern, where you just fill in the missing notes with your left hand. And if you try playing it as triplet 16ths on the hi-hats, adding a snare on 2 and 4 and the bass drum on 1 and 3. This could also make a cool and subtle hi-hat backbeat fill.
All in all, there are so many creative and amazing things you can do with the paradiddle-diddle which is why this rudiment should be used more in your drumming!

I remember sophomore year of high school marching band, first year on the quads, there was a fast 16th note triplet paradiddlediddle lick down the drums in one of our cadences. Never underestimated it since.

Buddy. Darrell Dwarf here from the Killer Dwarfs. We may see each other on the Monsters of Rock cruise this year. Feb. 2022 if you are still with Alice Cooper. I just want to commend you for this lesson here. You are an amazing teacher. This is incredible. Thank You.

As a jazz drummer the paradiddle diddle is my life

[@FDE-fw1hd]

Ikr

[@flakobatako]

why you say that? It's because the fact that you can swing the ride cymbal with the right and at the same time, you can spice it up with the left?

[@FDE-fw1hd]

@@flakobatako it's a good fill rudiment too that fits with the jazz feel

[@flakobatako]

​@@FDE-fw1hd I asked because i discovered by myself a few years ago that RlRRll fits well with the jazz feel and i wanted to know by a jazzist if that is one the reasons of his comment. Yes i know, it's pretty stupid. I mean, it is one of those things that seems too obvious, that makes us wonder, why it hasn't been pointed out by much people.

That snare drum sounds awesome!!!!

[@47heritage]

As a former drum corps drummer (the 1960's) and a member of the NARD before going over the the kit we used to call these 6's. You're using the pattern to form various beats and that's great. But, it's also a great tool for getting around the kit adding accents along the way as desired. In other words you could use the paradiddle on the snare drum and use the first right beat on the first wing tom, then the second wing tom and then over to the first floor tom and, if you have one, the second floor tom and back to the beginning.Lots of ways to us it!

Also brings in metric modulation. I like using the paradiddle diddle as a six pattern linear sixteenth. Can also use it as an with note 6/8 plus a single paradiddle as regrouped pattern to 8/8

If you havent seen Glen with Alice, you are missing out. His drum work in that band is remarkable and groovy. His solos are ridiculous. Great underrated drummer and PERSON!

[@rosexie4539]

What is the name of the metronome app

[@xSTONYTARKx]

My first drum teacher in a marching band always told me i shouldn't play doubles, i had no idea what doubles were because i was 6/8 years old. But i found some things easier to play when using doubles so i never took his advice to heart. When i was 12 i started drumming and i quit the marching band not long after, and then i learned that it was never wrong for me to wanna use doubles in some occasions.

[@Jason_Drums_]

Brilliant, easy to understand, thank you 👍

[@manfrommars3486]

Since this rudiment keeps starting with the same hand and I am left handed, I would naturally start playing it with my left hand, so LRLLRR, no problem. That takes me to a more general question: are there any specific tips, techniques or "tricks" for left handed drummers, that you have covered previously? I can only recall Billy Cobham in Drumeo videos until now (well, I am a recent subscriber, though...).

[@yhamsheenchannel6731]

Nice.. new friend here sending my support Godbless ❤️❤️

[@boomerguy9935]

Just when I think I've learned it all, I found out that I'm missing something.....AGAIN!!!!! Wonderful demo!

[@opiedrums6969]

I thought this was a variation of the six stroke

[@neerajagarwal4306]

he looks like matt mcguire......XD

[@PrettBadBoyFranklin]

Always been my favorite rudiment, but I personally prefer an inverted variant of it thay goes: RllrrL. This way one can more easily accent the last note of the roll, whih makes it great for setting up hits.

[@jonathanhager9421]

That sticking would be a 6 stroke roll

[@HernanAlChannel]

Wondering why they did not showed a way to practice it in the "reverse"/"left-hand" leading way. I use to have the paradiddle diddle in my daily routine as a combination that Igoe exposed in the intermediate warm-up that is: RLRRLL RLRRLL RLRR LRLLRR LRLLRR LRLL (and repeat). I think that's pretty good for coordination and keep the rudiment flowing.

Interesting to use it on the hi-hat, never thought of using it like that in a groove. Accent both of the singles and it becomes a great fill tool on the toms and snare also!

[@staja2107]

I've been playing drums for a couple of years, and have just recently started learning rudiments. Can anyone please explain the benefit of playing the paradiddle diddle, or say a six stroke roll, either as a groove or a fill, rather than playing just single roll triplets? Thanks.

[@boblobgobstopper13214]

The two patterns sound the same when you play on just the snare but if you play the two rudiments with one hand on the snare and one on the floor tom, you’ll hear the difference between them very clearly. If you try moving the paradiddle-diddle around the kit, you’ll notice that you can play patterns that are impossible to play with just single strokes and vice versa. Using mixtures of different rudiments, you can create unique fills and ideas that you’d never get with just single strokes alone.

Thank you awseome. GLEN

[@richardwhite3521]

I love this rudiment. Always have. But I prefer playing it in 4 with the accent spaced over dotted quarters or eights. Not in 6. Single single double double, makes for some smooth snare/Tom fills.

[@ElRedditorEsp]

Eloy Casagrande pls!

[@elmhurst86]

FINALLY, the Paradiddle-diddle being demonstrated properly. Soooo many drummers mistakenly interpret the Paradiddle-diddle as a fast Six-Stroke Roll. It's not!. This rudiment has only one accent, not two. The key word is Paradiddle. And yes, we can add accents to the Paradiddle as a variation to the basic Single Paradiddle, but when we accent the two single notes in the Paradiddle-diddle we are no longer playing that. It becomes a fast Six-Stroke Roll. Thanks Glen for your demonstration of this rudiment.

[@iandude1697]

Someone sign this man.

[@montygoines1644]

Great lesson, I've put the rudiment in 4/4 time and always end the last sixteenths on the snare. Trying to use the six note patterns over a 4 beat pattern. RLRRLLRLRRLLRLRL. I got it from a Joe Franco lesson in like 89'.

Guys I'm wanna get my paradiddle drum pad

[@mukkefan]

oh man, there is so much fantastic stuff out there in the net nowadays to learn drums on your own, this is one of those. 40 years ago or so I started with an old drumkit from an advanced playing jazz friend , but nobody told me how to start and what to do and of course I gave up a couple of weeks later. Inspired by some old cover versions here on YT I started falling in love again but this time starting with a drum pad learning the basics first ... let's see how it goes

[@michaelday6987]

Rolling paradiddle. Roll through all the positions as the starting position, moving all the previous strokes to the end. RLRRLRLL LRRLRLLR RRLRLLRL RLRLLRLR LRLLRLRR etc. Keep going all the way back to the original paradiddle.

[@PhilDourado]

What a great teacher you are, dude. "A lot of drummers don't know the name of the subdivisions". Yep! Hands up, that's me. Yet you're the only guy, even on the excellent Drumeo, who constantly remembers that and takes a quarter second aside to explain every time you mention "eighth note triplets" or whatever is likely to lose guys like me in the jargon. Thank you!
