My new teacher has come up with a competition for the others in my group (because i go to a music college there are 5 kits in one room ) to see how fast we can do a certain paradiddle exercise.
The record so far from a few years ago is 220 BPM set by a simply incredible drummer and good friend of mine. I envy him. Our teacher then BLLLLLITZED that with 265 BPM.
I'm just curious to see what others get so far i'm on about 160-170.
all the accents are on the cymbals, starting with the ride or crash on the right, and crash or hi hats on the left. All NON-accented beats are on the snare.
I hope this makes sense :S
RLRR LRLL X2 Accents on the first stroke of each part. E.G. Rlrr Lrll
RLRLRR LRLRLL X2 Accents on the first two strokes of leading hand. E.G. RlRlrr LrLrll etc
RLRR LRLL X1 Same as first section.
RLRLRLRR LRLRLRLL X2 Accents on the first three strokes of leading hand. E.G. RlRlRlrr LrLrLrll
It's also a great way to build up equal strength in both hands.
happy 'diddling
