The Paradiddles

This exercise about the four paradiddles, is address to those who devoted themselves to study of the drum set a short time ago. It is fundamental for the drummer to know how to operate the pradiddles. They are used the most popular rhythms (Cuban, Brazilian, funky, etc.) and they nearly have an infinity of applications. For those who enter the words of percussions, the knowledge and the mastery of all the types of paradiddles is an obligation.

- Perform the exercise A with the metronome to 60 the quarter, or to 120 8th. When you have learned them well, pass to the exercise B by playng the right on the cymbal. While playng check if your  hands are well coordinated with your feet (bass drum and hi-hat).After having done this pass to the second phase: try to learn everything by heart and increase the speed at least up to 120 the quarter.
