Glad you like the concept James! Thank you and Happy Drumming! 😊🥁🎉

You are so kind. Thank you very much!😊🥁🙏🏻

Thank you very much! Happy Holiday Drumming!😊🥁🎉

You, already being a very skilled, creative and accomplished drummer, have been on the fast track with all our studies from day one. Fantastic progress Darron, as usual! We will find even more ways to creatively tweak things for lotsa continued happy drumming!😊🥁⭐️👍

I’m glad you are enjoying these concepts Ray! These Paradiddle-diddles have a lot to offer…we’ve been tweaking things for many weeks and may continue the fun for a bit. I did create a playlist. Thank you for the suggestion. I hope it helps you and others! Happy Holiday Drumming!🎄🥁

Merry Christmas James!🎄😊

@ thanks so much

We still in for travel together

Thank you! As you know, paradiddle-diddles can be used in so many different directions for some really interesting grooves and fills. Expanding the concept opens up many doors to more advanced play. I’m really glad to hear you use them often. And yes Buddy Rich’s talent is still to this day so impressive…incredible skill…rudimental rhythm mastery and blazing speed! Loved those Tonight Show (Johnny Carson) episodes. Always outstanding!🥁🔥⭐️💯

😊✨🙏🏻🎅🎉

@@DrumsByLizwe still on for travel

Thank you very much for your super nice comments! The Paradiddle-diddle is so expansive and has so much potential. The sticking pattern leads us to many fun creative possibilities. Next week we will study different BD rhythms against the pattern, creating some variable grooves. It’s been weeks of study with the hand pattern and now it’ll be a few more weeks of study, adding in some footwork. After all is said and done, we should have a vast array of ideas to work with. It’s pretty amazing how expansive one little idea can get! Thanks again chased-penguins and Happy Drumming!😊🥁🐧

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments! I’ve made an effort to be mindful of the points you mentioned. It really is important to get straight to the point. Like you, I’ve often found myself skipping through videos that include unnecessary fluff. I also try to be detailed in explaining concepts for viewers who don’t read music, to ensure everyone can follow along and feel confident. At times maybe it’s a little overboard, but it’s a way to give students/viewers some self confidence and to provide reassurance and clarity. Adding music notation for those who do read music is something helpful I want to eventually do. I’m always looking for ways to get students further, faster. I’m super happy to hear the process works for you!! Thanks again for your feedback John! It is much appreciated. Happy Holiday Drumming!😊🥁🙏🏻🎅🎉

Thank you so much Steve for your incredibly nice comments! I hope you have fun exploring all these cool ways to apply those Paradiddle-diddles to your playing style. Happy Holiday Drumming!😊🥁🙏🏻🎅🎉⭐️

Thank you very much! I’m glad you like the concept…it’s truly thought-provoking and leads us to so many creative possibilities. I’m still laughing at your last sentence….hilarious!🤣 Thanks again & Happy Drumming!😊🥁🎉🎅

You bet!😊✨🌎

@ really

@@JasonSmith-ot5pq Thanks a lot Jason! Glad you enjoy this expansive concept. More to come soon… Happy Drumming!😊🥁

My pleasure to help! It’s a great way to highly coordinate ourselves around a more complex pattern. Putting the time and effort into this has great rewards, imo. Thank you for commenting & Happy Drumming!😊🥁⭐️🎉

You’re very welcome! Please stay tuned over the next several weeks for more creative expansion with the concept. The never ending mathematics of our drumming always leads us to infinite ideas… for lotsa Happy Drumming!😊🥁

Haha….thanks! There are so many ways to have fun with Paradiddle-diddle concepts. I’m glad people are not bored by the expansion of the idea cuz I’d like to do about 3-4 more posts on the concept. More orchestrations and bass work against the pattern is on deck and coming soon. Happy Drumming!😊🥁⭐️🎉

@@jaimeibarra1609 You’re welcome Jaime, my pleasure. I’m glad people enjoy my content. Yes I’m psyched about reaching 2K subs too! Thank you for your nice comments & Happy Drumming!😊🥁⭐️

Welcome back to drumming John! It’s great to have you here. I hope you enjoy the experience and pick up some valuable skills along the way. You’re very welcome and I’m glad I can help! Happy Drumming!😊🥁⭐️🎉

Thank you Dimitri! I’m so glad you enjoy the concept. It has great potential…can be used in so many different ways. Now it’s time for you to spice it up any way you’d like to! Have fun expanding the whole idea for endless “Happy Drumming!”😊🥁🎉

Wow…thank you so much Scott! I’m a work in progress….🙏🏻✨ Happy Holiday Drumming!😊🥁

Thank you CJ! I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season too. It’s ok to step outside that supposed “box” …it grows us up exponentially. Anything worthwhile in life has been a challenge. I know I’ve learned more from my adversities than anything else. I love that you took welding class..that takes patience and a skill set, quite difficult. Congrats on being the only female playing drums in school too! You Rock CJ! Does this lead to empowerment?!…lol Thanks again for your insightful comments! Happy Holiday Drumming!😊🥁🙏🏻⭐️💯🇺🇸🎅🎉

You’re very welcome! I’m glad you enjoy the concept. Thank you so much for commenting. Happy Drumming!😊🥁🎉

Thank you so much for your kind comments Darron! We always get into a good “drum zone”together and I’m very happy to hear my approach and my lessons have helped you and others. I absolutely love this instrument, all that it entails and there’s always something new to discover. Thank you for all your input Darron into these concepts. Your many decades of playing and experience has brought much to the table in this regard. So thank you for teaching me too! Happy Drumming!😊🥁⭐️🙏🏻

Thanks for helping me

Wow…thank you so much Joel…that means a lot! Happy Drumming!😊🥁

Thank you Kevin for your awesome comments…I am humbled! Happy Thankful Drumming!🙏🏻🦃🇺🇸⭐️😍🥁

I am beyond humbled by all your incredible comments Brian! Thank you so very much for all of your kind thoughts and remarks! I always feel very fortunately blessed to do what I do and I absolutely love to see all my students progress exponentially. After all these years and all our diligent practice crafting our skills, we get to a super grateful mindset and presence about our drumming …and life…lol Thank you again for your in-depth observations and blow my mind comments! I am trying my best to create something a bit off the beaten path to help a greater variety of students/drummers. Thank you very much for the inspiration!! Happy Holiday Drumming!😊🥁🙏🏻🎅🇺🇸

Thank you CJ, I am happy to help! I’m glad you like the concept. I love how you have turned a negative into a positive by shifting your thought process. Like you’ve observed and overcome, anything intricate takes patience, diligence and a can-do attitude. Break things down into logical, digestible, shorter concepts to not become overwhelmed or fearful. Thank you for your insightful comments. I’m sure your openness in what you have observed will help others! Super cool CJ! Happy Drumming & Happy Thanksgiving!😊🥁🦃🙏🏻🇺🇸🎉

@@DrumsByLiz Thank you.

Yes, I play a heavier thumb control due to some nasty arthritis in my left index finger. It hurts to grip sticks too tightly. I have issues in a few other knuckles…not good. I’m sure it’s from 50+years of some pretty intense drumming. I also tend to not hold my left hand as vertical as it should be… Due to a neck injury. I find myself resting my left arm on my left leg so my neck doesn’t hurt. At 62 years old these things start to appear I guess? So I compensate. And you are so right. It’s very important to have proper technique to utilize all fingers for 100% control. Every finger has importance. I show students how to isolate fingers and stretch fingers, wrists, forearms, arms etc. We play a physical instrument and it’s important to address these things so we have endurance and longevity. Proper technique is so important and makes a huge difference. Paradiddles, Double Paradiddles, Paradiddle-diddles are all very popular rudiments that are used often in many different directions. As grooves as fills etc. As you progress, you will see how these sticking patterns are a shortcut to more fluid play. They also lead to some really nice flowing orchestrations. We want to always “work smarter rather than harder” so we use these sticking patterns/rudiments to escalate our level of play. All leading to lotsa “Happy Drumming!” I am currently working on expanding this idea and showing more fill-ins. I’m hoping to put these additional lessons out very soon, if not later this week. This drumming thing is never ending it seems… lol🤣✨ Thank you for your insightful comments Michael and Happy Thanksgiving!😊🥁🦃🙏🏻🇺🇸⭐️

Drumming as an art form perhaps?… I could’ve fit that bill cuz I’m ancient..early 80’s days..memory lane, a great decade for Happy Drumming! Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!😊🥁🦃🙏🏻🇺🇸⭐️

I thought you were!😊

@ aww

You’re very welcome! It’s always great to expand upon our Rudimental work. Let’s always think outside the box and look for new ways to approach old ideas. Please stay tuned… I will expand on this soon for more insight, options and drumming fun! 😊🥁⭐️🎉

Yes, it’s so important to get the mental prep going. Counting is key 100% of the time. Thanks for commenting and Happy Drumming!😊🥁

Thank you so much Darron! You’re a huge inspiration to me! Everything I share with you, you fully embrace and take to the next level. I love how we’re able to explore these intricate concepts in depth and stay on such a fast track of learning together. I think it’s very special how we truly connect in this intuitive way. Your natural creativity often leads to new ideas and insights which makes the process even more rewarding. I deeply appreciate all your kind words. It makes me so happy to know my explanations help you grow, feel more balanced and see things from a deeper perspective. Thank you again Darron! It’s always a pleasure brainstorming infinite ideas together for endless Happy Drumming!😊🥁⭐️💯👍🎉

@ really

Thank you very much David! I’m happy to hear you like the sound of these patterns. Due to its complexity, it requires time and patience to ensure everything flows smoothly and sounds well-articulated. It’s a fun challenge to build skill and find creative ways to use it. Thank you very much for your nice comment David! Happy Drumming!😊🥁⭐️

Haha… yes, a little mind-bender. I’m glad you like the concept. It’s a great challenge for building up our coordination. It can also be inverted by starting with hands for a different sound and feel. Great to add Jazz Ride against pattern too. So many ways to have fun and build skill…never ending! Thank you for your great comments! Happy Mind-Blowing Drumming! 😊🥁✨

You’re very welcome! You are an amazing, incredibly skilled and talented drummer and we truly get in a wonderful “drum-zone” together. Very special in my mind and I am so happy and honored to help! Thank you very much for your super nice comments…they are greatly appreciated! Happy Drumming!😊🥁⭐️💯
