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
The headlight thing is a "padiddle". A paradiddle is a drumming
technique you can use to build up your speed & agility with the
sticks. Start with the left hand and alternate with each syllable
like this, L-R-L-L ("par-a-di-dle") and then you'll notice that
when you start over, you'll start with the right hand: R-L-R-R
("par-a-di-dle") Keep alternating, starting slowly & building up
your speed. If you goof, slow down & build back up.
