Finishing up a run of gigs for New England fair season and I’ll be posting lots of free lessons and new PDF lessons as well. Thanks for being here and please stay tuned!!! Jon

Here’s a free page from my new Paradiddle PDF. These are your single paradiddle and their inversions. The paradiddle inversion just means the paradiddle starts on a different part of the beat. It’s the same amount of stickings it just starts in a different spot. The diddle or double moves from the end of the 4 notes left with each inversion. Practice slow then try to add the feet patterns underneath. Start with the written 8th notes and then you can change them to 16th notes as you get more comfortable with the exercise. Feel free to message me with any questions

Please check out my course on paradiddle independence on my classroom page. I’ll be filming videos to go along with the course for no additional fee and once they are finished you’ll get a link to the videos. $5 will get you started on the road to paradiddle pleasure!!

Here’s the 30 min a day beginner hands sheet. This will be the start of the 30 min a day adult beginner drum course. Take your time and in the course will be a page discussing how to to read and count rhythms If you have any questions send me a message. Enjoy. This is really the foundation for drumming. Singles, Doubles and combinations like the paradiddle The 4s at the beginning are a great way for your brain to try to even out your stronger hand a weaker hand. Repeat each line for a minute or two. This can easily be a 10 min exercise all the way through and this is a great warmup sheet to memorize

Posting a hand warmup sheet later today from my 30 min a day drumming course…stay tuned
