12 Paradiddle Metacycle



Finally... here is the long awaited conclusion to this first mini series of drum tutorials... the paradiddle metacycle... pretty simple idea... we will combine paradiddles 1-4 sequentially....


ie:
RLRR LRLL
RLLR LRLL
RRLR LLRL
RLRL LRLR

Simple but very effective... this has been one of my favorite exercises over the years... great for warming up before a gig but also for coordination and technique...

The recommendation for todays show is Kodo - One Earth Tour... these guys are very inspiring... not only is what they play amazing, but HOW they play blows my mind... every movement has a purpose.... click here to check it out on amazon....

Nice work, Eshan. Kind of reminds me of some of the warm-ups we do on a drum corps percussion line. That's actually a compliment!

I think the second line in text should be
RLLR LRRL
