Sunday Session #20: Paradiddle Jam

Lesson #20 FREE PDF DOWNLOAD

PERISCOPE VIDEO LESSON REPLAY

Transformation

Sometimes we spend so much time trying to make things technically and mechanically perfect, we actually train the “feel” out of the music we’re playing. On this rainy Sunday, we look at how we can inject some groove and jams into our practice sessions.

Because this week is a heavy audition week, we’re ending Season 2 with a fun lesson, working our diddle rudiments. Check out the PDF download for 3 examples of some diddle groove patterns with shifting accents and syncopated patterns, all based on our various diddle rudiment patterns.

The goal is for you to begin thinking about how you can create your own grooves and feels. Work these patterns with a metronome beeping on 2 & 4, or better yet, play along to some of your favorite tracks!

Also this week, we’ll be doing a #Huei5for5!! Practice and Periscope 5 minutes for 5 days in a row, working either one of the patterns from this week’s handout, or start making up your own. For those that complete all 5 days, I’ll select one person to win their choice of one installment from the Marching Percussion Playbook + a free 30min video lesson with me:

To make sure I see your broadcast, make sure to share on Twitter and tag me @hueiyuanpan. As usual, I’ll be doing the #Huei5for5 as well, so feel free to watch and join in the fun as well!

NOTE OF THANKS

Matt R.

I just wanted to send a quick shoutout to say that I LOVE everything that you’re doing on social media. Aside from how informative and useful all of the information is for young percussionists, I think your method gets people excited about drumming and it’s fun to see you truly make an impact in the drumming community.

Thanks, Matt – your note made my day. Let’s definitely get together next time you’re in town 🙂

@tinaluhu

Hey Huei! I’ve been reading your PERISCOPE SEASON 1 Complete Lesson Pack and I’m really interested to see some examples of your old practice journals! I’ve tried multiple times to keep one and I never go through with it because I always end up setting too many goals. Plus I don’t know how I should organize my journal when I’m trying to practice for 3 different instruments. I would really love to hear ur input about this when you get a chance!

What programs are you using to edit your images and page layouts?

Are these the end of lessons?

Of course not!  End of Season 2, but there are plans for upcoming guest lessons, video challenges, and prodcut releases. Thanks for asking, and stay tuned 🙂
