My 6 Favourite Paradiddle Grooves!

Transcription of these grooves here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CMMo...

Love a paradiddle groove! Great way to get some serious funk, flow and nuance into your drumming!

The 6 are:

Single Paradiddle - RLRR LRLL
Single Paradiddle variation - RLLR LRRL
Single Paradiddle variation - RRLR LLRL
Double Paradiddle - RLRLRR LRLRLL
Triple Paradiddle - RLRLRLRR LRLRLRLL
Paradiddle-diddle - RLRRLL

Right stick plays hi-hat or ride, left stick plays snare - ghosted noted except for the big backbeat hit.

Reverse sticking if you’re left handed!

Have fun :)

Mike Barnes Drums Amazon Shop

I now have an Amazon store featuring all the gear, books etc you see here in these videos, and that I use myself on gigs/in the studio and recommend. It doesn’t cost any more to buy from this store than it does from regular Amazon, but you’d be supporting this channel by doing so, which would be very much appreciated!:
