  • @nielsmyrner
    @nielsmyrner  9 років тому +2

    @Jules Marecaux Good question! The truth is, both. The goal when playing a fast double stroke is to clearly articulate both strokes. So yes, you are manipulating the rebound of the stick to accelerate the speed of the RR and LL, but balancing the pressure you apply so that the strokes don't "mush" into the head and become unclear. The basic idea is, never practice faster than your fastest relaxed, controlled speed. Clear and relaxed will always yield faster results than forcing it, as counter-intuitive as that might be. Have fun!

    Very good lesson thanks! There is a new collection of books with very modern
    approaches in relation to the movement patterns of this class and their combinations,
    paradiddles, palindromes, two-voice counterpoints etc in various metrics,
    They are from the author Ciro Plateroti. The colecction its called "The book of movements",
    t will blow your brain, I only have the 4th but there are approximatel y 7 or 8 volumes!
    I recommend them to you who handle very well this type of patterns that have their degree of difficulty.

    It helps to practice rudiments and paradiddles on a pillow so you can get the feel with the bounce so it is your wrist learning it instead of your fingers.

  • @arthernandez6815
    @arthernandez6815 9 років тому +5

    Is the Par-A-DID-DLE spacing equal to the spacing of 1-E-AND-A?
    I've viewed several paradiddle lessons, but none of the lessons have made this point extremely clear to me.
    I practice this rudiment nearly every day, and my space between the diddle seems much shorter than the space between my para.

    • @nielsmyrner
      @nielsmyrner  9 років тому +3

      +art hernandez Hey Art, Yes the rhythm is spaced evenly like that of the 16th notes you are counting as 1-e-&-a. Keep in mind that while that is the starting point for practicing the paradiddle, the usefulness of rudiments comes in the flexibility of their rhythmic placement and phrasing. Bend them, break them and split them up on the drums. Try accenting the doubles, the singles, etc. A common application is to play the right hand part on the bass drum and left hand part on the snare drum while maintaining 8th notes on the hihat. You can find a lesson on this application here: ua-cam.com/play/PLA9A4EFC87640363A.html Enjoy!

      Definitely! You can practice on anything! The bottom of a shoe, a basketball, a notebook is great, even a piece of wood or metal. Cymbals are metal... and woodblocks are wood, etc. The sticks themselves have enough flexibility to rebound off any hard surface.

    Maybe don't let the stick rebound so high after your accent because the other 3 notes should be ghosted. Your 3rd note is too loud and gives it a wierd lope.

    Why do you use the full stroke to accent the frist stroke?? in this way the frist of the two double has an accent, and honestly if we talk about the paradiddle n.1 only the frist stroke has an accent using the down stroke instead of the full stroke.

    • @LeeVing88
      @LeeVing88 4 роки тому

      Exactly right. There should be no rebound after the accented strokes. The diddles should be played with wrist strokes.

    • @nielsmyrner
      @nielsmyrner  5 років тому +19

      It's both an exercise and a musical tool. They really come to life when you split the hands up on different drums/cymbals or even put the right hand part on the bass drum and the left hand part on the snare drum. Examples of paradiddles used in popular music are beats like Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin, Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana, Can I Kick It by A Tribe Called Quest, Hand of Doom by Black Sabbath and Sugar We're Going Down by Fall Out Boy. You'll hear paradiddles everywhere but those are examples off the top of my head from songs students are working on. Paradiddles are used in jazz, rock, hip-hop, funk, Latin music... everywhere! They’re a great source of ideas.
