No.64: Paradiddle-diddle Inspired Lick

I came up with this little lick yesterday, whilst exploring the paradiddle-diddle. It was created by moving each of the diddles down to the bass drum. Here’s the original sticking plus the two adjustments:
1 - R l r r l l
2 - R l K K l l
3 - R l r r K K
Explore different voicings on the kit, see what you can come up with!

No.63: Polyrhythmic 12/8 Feel

Here’s a ride pattern that I love to play over 12/8 feels. 12/8 is a compound time, so the 8ths are felt in groups of three (3/8), but this ride pattern superimposes a 2/8 feel over the top.

No.62: 10x2+4 Lick

This lick can be divided up in different ways, but I see it as a ten note pattern played twice, followed by an extra four notes to equal a 4/4 bar of 16th note triplets. Try applying it in different ways: chop it up and re-order it, play it as different note rates, with different dynamics and within different grooves. Get creative!

No.61: 5 Over 8

Here’s just a fun little brain boggler that kept me amused a few weeks back. Though it’s quite simple to understand, it’s not so easy to actually play! You can change the instrumentation to better suit your own kit setup. Have a go!

No.60: Upbeat & Technical

Hi everyone, this is just some random beat that I found myself playing about with this morning. I was having fun and figured that someone else might enjoy trying it too. Watch out for the cheeky little hi-hat pedal note in the second bar!

No.59: Rumba Guaguancó

I originally learned this feel with a right hand cascara pattern, but lately I find my self going for this alternate version. As my left hand sits on the snare head to play a cross-stick it allows for muted and open tones in the right.
