Ken Hada Drums Paradiddle Permutations. A series of video clips on paradiddle permutations and drumset. Many years ago I attended a David Garabaldi Master clinic. In fact, this was at Hanich music.
To start, my drum teacher Roy Burns told me about this clinic. And I remember a room full of drumsets. In fact, I think each drummer brought our own? David Garabaldi handed out a stapled book of patterns. I couldn’t believe the complexity of his studies.
That was forty years ago. Today I am reinvestigating this coordination premise. And I am really enjoying the results.
In conclusion, if you are trying this stuff here are a few tips. First, play the accent notes rimshot or fortissimo. And the grace notes as soft hits and soft bounces. In fact, Murray Spivack’s study really helped me enjoy this system the second time around. And lastly, try playing these permutations to bass and or percussion loop.
