Awesome! I have wondered about #3 for many years. Never realized it was so straight forward! Thanks! Great stuff!

Hi Raimundo thank you !

[@wdrummer79]

Having a hard time getting this down. Are your (k) notes being played simultaneously with the L or are they linear, like RLK? Or is the paradiddle diddle being played swung?

[@bonhamalsowaltzes1601]

Hi! Cool you’re working on this!
Hands = 8th note triplets
Feet = straight 8th notes
(Or 16th note triplets vs straight 16th notes if you want)
Yes, if you remove the hi hat the pattern is linear: R LKR R LKL ! The bass drums plays between the hands
Hands plays 6 equally spaced notes
R L R R L L
over 4 equally spaced notes with feet
{} K {} K
See my old “Bonham tension” videos where I demonstrate this slower

[@wdrummer79]

@@bonhamalsowaltzes1601 thanks. I’ll check out the other videos. I think I see it now. The kicks are landing between the hands when hands are played as 8th note triplets. Wow, this really exposes some independence weaknesses I have 🤣.

[@bonhamalsowaltzes1601]

@@wdrummer79 yes that’s it! And it is tricky, usually we don’t mix subdivisions like this.
Btw are you planning to post some more drum videos??

[@wdrummer79]

@@bonhamalsowaltzes1601 I would like to post more videos but just haven’t had the time. The youtube world is so saturated with drum videos it’s tough to be noticed these days. I found your stuff after watching BONZOLEUM’s channel

[@bonhamalsowaltzes1601]

@@wdrummer79 True it is tough, YT is full of great drumming content that deserves more attention. I’m lucky I got the shoutouts from Bonzoleum
