800 things you can do to a drag paradiddle

[NUTHA JASON]

I've been looking forward to doing a video about creative manipulation of rudiments for quite a while.

http://youtu.be/mWi4wP_OVv4

In this one learn about simplification, ornamentation, permutation, swing, alteration, extension and reversal as ways of making well over eight hundred versions of drag paradiddle number one. then see if you can apply these 'creative filters' to other chops and rudiments.
Let me know what you think (especially if you are a teacher) and can you come up with any other creative filters (i'm always looking for more angles)?

Thanks KP
i know 15 minutes is a bit long but there was a lot of detail i needed to pack in. i hope other folks aren't clicking on it, seeing the length and switching off before giving it a go. i would love to have known about this stuff ten years ago. sometimes i wish i could go back in time and teach myself - though, knowing me back then, i probably wouldn't listen.
