Intro:


  The following exercises are completely based on the Single Paradiddle Rudiment.  We are
 going to focus on playing this paradiddle between the Hihat and Snare drum.  To make the
 pattern more musical, We'll try and accent the snare hits on the 2 and 4 counts while
 playing all other snare notes as quite as possible. (ghosted..)

  The entire lesson is focused on learning a series of 8th and 16th note bass drum patterns
 against this hand pattern...


  The sticking is as follows

  
                     Count:   1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a

                              RLRRLRLLRLRRLRLL

                       BD1:|| o-------o------- ||


     

  Well, that's it from me enjoy...





Aim #1: Try to get comfortable playing each rhythm through once, with & without the
        counting, if you can co this, try playing it twice, three, four times through
        or more without stopping. 

Aim #2: Try for a range of tempos, Start out slowly, (around 70/80 bpm's) then medium
        (100bpm) and fast up to (120/150 bpm's or even higher). The objective is make
        all the notes sound even. 

Aim #3: Try playing each line of exercises without stopping, keeping it evenly spaced
        the entire time. Next, Try 2 lines, then 3 lines and ultimately the entire
        lesson from top to bottom. To take this another step further, you can try
        playing the exercises randomly, this will help your reading and visualization
        skills greatly.
