So, I was practicing on my pad the other day, and I realized something. When I play paradiddles, I always accent the single stroke that comes directly AFTER the double. Let me just right it out.
R L RR L R LL R L RR L R LL
It seems I can get fast speeds doing that. Also, I have a hard time NOT doing that. Should I correct this? What would be some good exercises?
Would consciously making an effort to accent a Different note be worth while?
(i.e. R L RR L R LL R L RR L R LL )

Second question:
Around this same time, I was practicing Paradiddles to a click when I thought about something. Can you play Triplet Paradiddles and make them sound good around the kit? Any examples?
It is very hard to practice Triplet Paradiddles, or should I say, HEAR Triplet Paradiddles. I can do them for a moment, and then I just subconsciously go back to playing 8th note or 16th note triplets. So how do you practice them?
Most Paradiddles played on the kit are 16th note Paradiddles correct? I wonder how 8th / 16th triplet Paradiddles would sound....
