You can use paradiddles within drum fills to create patterns
ReplyDeletethat would be awkward to play using only single strokes.
Experiment with playing paradiddles between different sound

ReplyDeleteThe paradiddle is a funny little rudiment, because if you
walk into an average middle school band program, even some
of the trumpet players and other wind players, usually boys,
know about paradiddles. I seem to recall many of them asking
me what a paradiddle is, because they'd heard of them, but
didn't know how they were played. I think it's definitely
one of the most popular rudiments among kids.
