Just wanted to let you know that the Riff Glossary page has been updated with some new videos that will hopefully clarify any questions. Sometimes its just easier to learn from videos.
The videos are short and just show the riffs without explanation.
The paradiddle families and variations can be combined in lots of interesting ways to achieve different effects, whether on a single snare drum, multiple tenor drums, or a drum set.or a drum set.
The paradiddle is the best thing to learn these well with because it naturally executes them if you accent the first note of each side. If you look at just the right hand: The first accent (first stroke) is a down stroke (start high, end low) and the next is the double stroke which are both taps. That stroke is an up stroke.
