  • @nielsmyrner
    @nielsmyrner  9 лет назад +2

    @Jules Marecaux Good question! The truth is, both. The goal when playing a fast double stroke is to clearly articulate both strokes. So yes, you are manipulating the rebound of the stick to accelerate the speed of the RR and LL, but balancing the pressure you apply so that the strokes don't "mush" into the head and become unclear. The basic idea is, never practice faster than your fastest relaxed, controlled speed. Clear and relaxed will always yield faster results than forcing it, as counter-intuitive as that might be. Have fun!

    approaches in relation to the movement patterns of this class and their combinations,
    paradiddles, palindromes, two-voice counterpoints etc in various metrics,
    They are from the author Ciro Plateroti. The colecction its called "The book of movements",
    t will blow your brain, I only have the 4th but there are approximatel y 7 or 8 volumes!
    I recommend them to you who handle very well this type of patterns that have their degree of difficulty.

    I want to play drums but I don't really know anything about them what is the purpose of a paradiddle? Is it a speed/dexterity exercise?

    • @nielsmyrner
      @nielsmyrner  6 лет назад +19

      It's both an exercise and a musical tool. They really come to life when you split the hands up on different drums/cymbals or even put the right hand part on the bass drum and the left hand part on the snare drum. Examples of paradiddles used in popular music are beats like Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin, Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana, Can I Kick It by A Tribe Called Quest, Hand of Doom by Black Sabbath and Sugar We're Going Down by Fall Out Boy. You'll hear paradiddles everywhere but those are examples off the top of my head from songs students are working on. Paradiddles are used in jazz, rock, hip-hop, funk, Latin music... everywhere! They’re a great source of ideas.

    Is the Par-A-DID-DLE spacing equal to the spacing of 1-E-AND-A?
    I've viewed several paradiddle lessons, but none of the lessons have made this point extremely clear to me.
    I practice this rudiment nearly every day, and my space between the diddle seems much shorter than the space between my para.

    • @nielsmyrner
      @nielsmyrner  9 лет назад +3

      +art hernandez Hey Art, Yes the rhythm is spaced evenly like that of the 16th notes you are counting as 1-e-&-a. Keep in mind that while that is the starting point for practicing the paradiddle, the usefulness of rudiments comes in the flexibility of their rhythmic placement and phrasing. Bend them, break them and split them up on the drums. Try accenting the doubles, the singles, etc. A common application is to play the right hand part on the bass drum and left hand part on the snare drum while maintaining 8th notes on the hihat. You can find a lesson on this application here: ruclips.net/p/PLA9A4EFC87640363A Enjoy!

  • @juanmartinezcortes
    @juanmartinezcortes 8 лет назад +1

    I have a comment about the 1st stroke...I see that in slow tempo, the 1st stroke is made with an up stroke, (down-up all in one) but when it goes fast, that first stroke changes into down and it stays down to continue with 2 full strokes and then the last one as an up stroke. Personally, I think it would be better to show in slow tempo the same motion as in fast tempo. It might be confusing for beginers to show one movement and later on to change the motion...

    • @nielsmyrner
      @nielsmyrner  8 лет назад +4

      +juanmartinezcortes Hey Juan, Thanks for the observation. The way I think of it is like a basketball bouncing. When it bounces very slowly, it bounces very high, when it bounces faster, it bounces low, closer to the ground. Since the first single stroke is an accent, it is like one big bounce, followed by the doubles as smaller faster bounces. The rhythm of each hand individually creates a pattern with one big bounce and two smaller bounces as if you were dropping a ball. When I think of it that way, it helps me follow the natural rebound pattern of the drum stick in the paradiddle. Hopefully that helps. Have fun!

    @rundown306 10 лет назад

    First I'm a big fan of your teaching and very thankful for sharing your drumming experience with us. Second abt that single paradiddle i'm new to rudiments but shouldn't be the first accented note a downstroke and the second note an up stroke?

    • @nielsmyrner
      @nielsmyrner  10 лет назад +1

      Hey rundown306, Good question! Yes, you can practice that way. The strokes can be analyzed with different approaches. Notice that if you play the first accent as a down stroke, you might prevent the stick from rebounding, absorb the shock of the rebound and waste the energy of the stick coming back up, preparing for the next stroke. The second stroke does turn into an up stroke at speed, but focusing on it that way at a slow tempo, when learning to allow the first stroke to rebound is difficult for beginners. There are different approaches to hand technique and rudiments. Some loose, some tight and everything in between. To go in to that level of depth, I would recommend working with a few different teachers and finding the approach that works best for you, or with a flexible teacher that will show you different approaches. The benefit is that they can watch you play and help you choose an approach that comes naturally. Thanks for the comment!

    • @rundown306
      @rundown306 10 лет назад

      ***** Thanks for your feedback! Very helpful! Got another question but off topic, do you think playing 4 on the floor (feathering the bass drum) even in a bebop tune is a necessity? I really like how it feels and how it locks with the upright but it takes away all the creativity/independence in comping!

    • @nielsmyrner
      @nielsmyrner  10 лет назад +1

      rundown306 The general "rule" in bebop is to leave the bass drum free for comping, so the answer would be no. But it would be silly to say jazz is about rules. Try feeling the difference it makes when you add it or take it away, and then use it as a tool in your bag of tricks. Historically, Bop drummers use the bass drum both ways. Just be sensitive to the effect it has on the band and your own playing.

      Speed will come with time. Just practice at your fastest relaxed controlled speed. Try to find a way to make it fun, like applying the rudiment on the drum kit on two different drums, or playing it on your desk while you’re supposed to be working.
