What a great drummer and person. I met him when they were touring for Koloss,and I was waiting in line when I saw him and his brother across the street going into a store. I waited until they came out and asked for an autograph. His tour bus was right there. He said,"I'll do u one better",& went to get me a pair of sticks and sign em...but the bus was locked! I told him,its ok dont worry. He then proceeded to take pictures with me,and was the coolest person.

@@colins7771 thank you. 😄. If thats the right reply for your comment. Take care buddy

[@zeppelinfan82]

@@colins7771 also,don't be jealous. If anything, you may feel bad for me because of what happened. I had all the photos we took together along w stuff from the show(aud&video),but i lost it as soon as i got a new phone because I couldn't remember what gmail address i had at the time,or its password, and ended up losing every single photo, along w good pics of my then 3 year old son.because every pic i had up until that time was saved in Google photos 😭

"...that paradiddle." *Proceeds to play a slurred tap-five*

[@Auron710]

yeh he started in R LL R, like sorry, thomas, u start with R L RR L R LL, thats a paraddidle no? hes obviously a god of a drummer compared to me but I cant be like "just play a double stroke roll, R LL RR ....

[@Bowl01986]

@@Auron710 The actual pattern consists of five strokes: R LL RR, L RR LL. It's some form of five-a-diddle. But in 2020, I guess everything's called a Quarantine-a-diddle.

[@WhirlwindDrums]

It's funny how his calls it a paradiddle when it really is a five stroke roll. What gets interesting though is the way he involves it with the kick and hi-hat.

[@mjollner23]

Sweden doesn't have a very strong rudimental tradition, so forgive Tomas if his terminology is not correct. A standard paradiddle is always a standard paradiddle, but we also tend call almost any sticking pattern with a constant flow of notes " paradiddles". I know I'm guilty of this.

[@antibulletdodger101]

What..? "we also tend call almost any sticking pattern with a constant flow of notes paradiddles". No "we" don´t, speak for yourself if you´re a beginner. I don´t know anybody who does that. A doudble stroke roll is a double stroke roll, a swiss triplet is a swiss triplet, a triple ratamacue a triple ratamacue. They´re not paradiddles.

[@mjollner23]

The Grand Piano haha! 7 år kulturskola, 3 år gymnasium, 2 år folkis, 5 år musikhögskolan i Malmö med en fullbordad Master i slagverk. Plus 10 år av leverne på att enbart spela trummor i mitt band. Jag växte upp med en lärare som levde för det Amerikanska drumcorps-idealet, så jag vet oerhört väl vad en paradiddle är... Jag talar för mig själv. Jag talar uppenbarligen även för " nybörjaren" Tomas Haake. Jag har även hört Virgil Donati använda termen " Different Paradiddles" för stickings som inte kommer i närheten av varken single, dubbel, trippel eller inverterade paradiddlar. Jag vill även minnas att Morgan Ågren också körde med det i sin trumskola på UR. Jag vet även att det är väldigt vanligt i undervisningen då jag praktiserat och vikarierat för en hel hop med lärare runt om i landet. Double stroke är double stroke, Swiss army är swiss army... Men när det gäller att spela t:ex raka 16delar med olika stickings... Som Tomas gör här med sin RllrrLrrll, så tycker jag att " different paradiddles" passar oerhört bra som samlingsnamn. Tomas spelar inte en 5 stroke roll, eftersom 5 stroke roll traditionellt innefattar både 16-delar och 32-delar)... Det Tomas gör att spela raka 16-delar i 4/4 med en accent på var 6e slag. Du skulle kanske inte kalla det en paradiddle.Kanske inte heller jänkarna... Men Tomas Haake, jag själv och många andra med oss.

[@antibulletdodger101]

mjollner23 Morgan Ågrens "Trum" på UR, haha. -Vad var det du spelade där? -Eh.. det var nån virvel av nåt slag..

[@industrialvz]

On second exercise - with hands - 5 stroke roll, with feed - second paradiddle !

[@jimiingman6628]

Damn..like no debate this guy is awesome, but this is going on a dvd? 1. Rllrr Lrrll is not a paradiddle (lol) 2. "add a bass drum before every accent" *adds a bass drum before and after every accent* 3. "I'll try to play it through to where it repeats" *adds an actual paradiddle on 4 so it lines up without any further syncopation* COME ON NOW TOMMY BOY YOU'RE BETTER THAN THAT That being said, I played this exercise for like an hour before I got it down, and it's great. And hard. As fuck.

[@fiends8908]

All those snares and he chose that one.

[@300kike]

This snare is great sounding, but the camera's mic can't capture it's sound well

[@ethancurtis8954]

I think the camera man quit drums at the end of that clip. It cut out so suddenly haha.

[@highervibetribe9137]

I think there's some confusion, but I think what he was trying to say was that it sounds like a parradiddle when played fast.

They're all diddles bud.

[@BlastBeatsFTW]

anyone got the transcript for the rudiment?

[@scottjcrouch]

Steven Hall I don't have the transcript but the basic pattern is R L L R R L R R L L etc. It's counted in 5. Hope that helps.

[@scottjcrouch]

Because a standard 5 stroke roll is a 6/8 pattern. The one Tomas plays is in 5/8.

[@BlastBeatsFTW]

WillHerndon It makes me happy that you are butthurt.

[@BlastBeatsFTW]

Scott Crouch Thankyou muchly, Scott.

[@conjigalo]

WillHerndon If you don't ask questions, you don't learn anything. You would of asked this type of question once and your teacher wouldn't of mocked you. Use the energy you put into your angry comments for something useful and you might win a Nobel prize. Peace.

"paradiddle exercise" ...and didn't play one single paradiddle in the entire video.

+Dima Guitar My skill level does not effect the fact that there are no paradiddles in this "paradiddle exercise."

No, he sounds Swedish. Just because he flexes his 'r' sounds doesn't mean that he sounds 'American'.
