Steve I discovered you before you moved HoD to UA-cam. You taught me the blushda (the original video). Amazing to see you’re still going strong and an amazing drum teacher.
Glad to write to you that after… 2 good years of pratcise I think I finally made it ; Cheers from France Ps learning rudiments equal learning to talk with your drums and THAT should be teach from the scratch ; Merci Steve !
Streve, I love this exercise and really, what it does for me, is to inspire ‘my own way of playing it,’ putting the accents where they sound good to my ear but, at the same time, incorporating a lot of your concepts on playing single and double PARADIDDLES within the one or two bar phrase. Thanks.
great job steve it's nice of you to take the time to break this stuff down into an easy way to understand it all thank you, and to all the young guys out there don't get hung up on speed practice this kind of stuff slow and IN TIME ! and speed it up a step or 2 at a time and the speed will come automatically just stay relaxed !
This is what I need to do with gary Chaffee's sticking patterns. I got close with a few of the phrases but you've given me the idea. Plus your phrases of course. Thanks!😀
Here's the deal kids. A good clean open roll and a great single stroke roll and the paradiddle. Just get them together and clean. I see so many kids at drum clinics I have done that cannot play a decent roll. That itself can totally be applied to this concept here. Steve has it. Great job. I am inspired.
nice to see a badass like yourself struggle on something,figure you'll have it nailed quickly. I've practiced these 32nd combinations for a long time, and I'm still tripping up at times, frustrating stuff. I practice random phrases, play singles dbles and different inversions of the paradiddle, leaning on inverted, and replace strokes with kick, some cool patterns stick in my head and become licks I can use, but I feel those phrases I now know are limited. Really appreciate these lessons.
Cool grooves, got the first one basically in one hr on the pad. Now gotta move it to drum set. Practicing 5 stroke roll, 6 stroke, doubles, triples and inverted on a regular basis every day has really sped up the learning curve on this. Great Stuff Steve!
Thank you for this Great Lesson. So many phrases come alive at high speed and I always ask myself how to play them. To get really fast one has to practice a lot so it seems hard to realize that an apparently simple combination of singles and doubles will end up sounding awesome once I can play them fast. The thing is to get there. With this lesson you showed how it is done. I encourage you to bring us some more.
This is a monster chop, I really appreciate this. I also think people need to get out of the mentality of needing everything note for note and use their ears to listen and catch the accents. Awesome lesson.
I prefer this kind of vt where the guy doesn't talk all the way through, but plays, that's great ...you learn more I think by watching and then doing some verbal is okay when needed but great vt man
Brilliant lesson! And thank you for the sheet music. I'm a proud owner of your DVD but please do more of these as well. Really appreciate you being here! Thanks.
Great lesson! Pat Petrillo has a great book out that would be very helpful with this type of phrasing. In it he assigns symbols to each rudiment. In phrase 1 that you demonstrate it would be as follows: DP, PDD, DP, PDD, P, P. You just simply read these symbols and you know to play Double Paradiddle, Paradiddlediddle, Double Paradiddle, Paradiddlediddle, Paradidle, Paradiddle. It allows you to play many combinations in a fairly short period of time.
The great gift that South India gives us is Konnokol, which is a musical way of singing/counting these groupings using single syllable sounds in a simple and straight forward manner which makes what looks to be complicated very easy when one spend a bit of time learning the system. Then whatever the subdivision we can use numbers to our hearts content to create interesting and different phrases. Thanks for sharing really enjoyed your video.
I love all of your lessons & wish there were many more, but it would have helped me BIG time if you would share the exact sticking u r using in each phrase. I'm a slow learner.
Was Hello! Andes of all I would say that I am a diehard fan of your videos and watch whenever I can. I would like to thank this post on ecelente combinations Paradidles, loved every combination and I am studying and passing my students too, thank you very much, you are very good and musical, congratulations. Here in Brazil you already have many fans! Eduardo.
Steve, I’m a fairly new subscriber to your channel but I’ve really enjoyed the exercises and stick patterns you’ve shared. I don’t totally have this one engrained but you’ve given me another idea on how to apply the basic pattern. I’m simply using the two accented rights followed by the two accented lefts and then going into straight single paradiddles (2 on each hand) and then back into the 2 accents on each hand (if that makes any sense). This is, of course, not what your demonstrating (which is a little more complex) but you’ve provided the basis for a new idea for my use of paradiddles. Many thanks.
Really enjoying your vids Steve and I'm learning a lot of new approaches to phrasing. I love it it when you think you know something and then someone comes along and shakes you up! Invigorating stuff, keep going buddy I'm inspired :-)
I'll have an update by this weekend. And probably some questions. I need to figure out the exact sticking for pat. 1. I can guess, by filling in the accents with pd pdd and dpd, unless you could tell me the exact sticking?
Hi Steve, I found your video while combing through youtube and I appreciate it very much. Are you able to provide the sticking for each of those paraddidle combos? Thanks.
Thanks for another great video, Steve. I watched this several times over the years… Never gets old. Could you please share/spell out the name of your drummer friend? (Derrick Dafield/Duh/Feel? )I’d like to look him up and see if there are any good videos of him playing. Thanks so much… All the best & keep rocking in 2023 !!!
Great video Steve! went to your Hod site but could not find transcription. pls help! Thanks so much for all your very informative and helpful videos...
These are the rare kind of lessons that don't teach you a fill, but open a world of practice and vocabulary enrichment. Absolutely stellar stuff.
exactly. that's why i liked it.
10 yrs ago you made this video, 10 yrs from now I’ll be on a stage in Europe somewhere using this method, amazing video 👏🏽👏🏽
I almost forgot how much I enjoyed these older videos.
Here I am again👍🏾
Thanks Arnaud, glad you checked it out. I remember the Ted Reed method:
8th = para
Quarter = paradidle.
Dotted quarter = paradidle-didle.
Fun stuff.
It's really hard to describe how much I loved this video. Thank you!!!
He has broken down "gospel chops" into music theory teaching. You are the man. Love your videos
🙂👍‼️Toms sound f’ing GREAT!!!!
Steve I discovered you before you moved HoD to UA-cam. You taught me the blushda (the original video). Amazing to see you’re still going strong and an amazing drum teacher.
Excellent lesson and I will be working on this! And that set…those toms sing beautifully!!
Just phenomenal on every level.
You are a GIFTED teacher.
Thanks man.
Wow, thanks!
Thanks for this awesome lesson! I am struggling to get my foot doubles going. Hope you could do a video lesson on that soon!
You've definitely got the best educational videos on the web. I've learned so much. Keep up the good work.
Wow, thanks!
Glad to write to you that after… 2 good years of pratcise I think I finally made it ;
Cheers from France
Ps learning rudiments equal learning to talk with your drums and THAT should be teach from the scratch ;
Merci Steve !
This is one of the best drumming tutorials I've ever come across in UA-cam land. Thanks so much. The one dislike must have been a misclick.
This lesson never gets old!!!
Great work and thanks for the transcription :-)

Brother you are a diffrent animal...love slow mo..then faster..then crazy fast...that's a great lesson.
Another great illustration with fabulous
Instruction in control
Thank you
Kit sounds really sweet
Steve...you cut to the chase in regards to the gritty, cool as hell licks and patterns. Thank you for the instruction - kudos...!!
Thanks Steve...great videos...esp the flam rolls in jazz triplet happy time...all the best!
I see so many video about drum but you are the first that inspire me so much....thank you very much
Great stuff, very musical playing. May I suggest displaying the sticking for the phrases though.
The power of the paradiddle!! Great lesson. Awesome playing.
Thank. you for sharing your talent and ideas Steve. You are a kind soul for doing so and making a real difference my approach to the instrument.
Thanks - good luck with it!

sick bro! Shout outs from down under Australia!
I like the method of thinking of the overall accent simple phrase and filling it in. Does help and makes it more musical. Thanks for this!
I knew paradiddles, but I did not know how to apply it to a kit. Thank you so much.

Brilliant lesson! And thank you for the sheet music. I'm a proud owner of your DVD but please do more of these as well. Really appreciate you being here! Thanks.
Trying to find the sheet music ?
Hey Steve this is a hip way to get 32nd notes into one's drumming diet. Thanks and for the transcription- that's really helpful.
Steve!! Thanks for sharing your shed concepts, you make it look too easy bro. Your playing has definitely been an inspiration for me.
Those stickings are stupid cool! Thanks Steve.

Thanks for this, it explains those crazy sounds I hear vinnie with Karizma. I could practice these exercises for years and not be bored. AND I WILL.
DO IT. : )
I'll have an update by this weekend. And probably some questions. I need to figure out the exact sticking for pat. 1. I can guess, by filling in the accents with pd pdd and dpd, unless you could tell me the exact sticking?
There should be a link to a PDF in the video description.
@@SteveHolmesDrums yes, although the link won't take me anywhere, I looked on HOD but couldn't find it. Ill figure it out. But thank you nonetheless.
@@alandanielw Just tried the link on Chrome and it worked. *shrug*
