DRUM LESSON: Paradiddle Inversion Grooves: R=R+K (Paradiddle Series pt.3)

This is the third part of the Paradiddle lesson series. This time we’ll be applying the R=R K concept to our paradiddle and its inversions. If you’re unfamiliar with this concept, it’s basically a concept you can apply for different phrasing and creativity without changing up the base notation/pattern. In this case whenever you would play the R’s in the paradiddles, now you’ll be playing R K instead; meaning right hand and bass drum (kick). We’re still keeping the backbeat on 2 and 4, ghosting all other notes played with our left hand.

I suggest making sure you can play the different inversions hand-to-hand before playing around with them, that way you have a good understanding of exactly what’s going on and what the concept of this lesson is, allowing you to apply it to other situations.
