The Bumper Book of Paradiddles [Softback] by Dr Richard Hemmings Originally, available as an e-book, I have now published a physical copy of this most excellent drum book! It contains at least 300 exercises based on the single paradiddle, in other words there’s a lot to work on. How is this even possible, I hear you ask… I wrote The Bumper Book of Paradiddles in response to a question I posed to myself: how many exercises can be based around the single paradiddle? It was also a response to that famous proverb – if something’s worth doing, it’s worth overdoing. The paradiddle is one of the first rudiments we learn. Although it may sound daft, I believe all drummers attach a certain fondness to it, and not just because it has a silly sounding name. For my twelve-year-old self, discovering the sticking pattern and how I could apply it was a mini epiphany. I was hooked on drumming from then on!” The Bumper Book of Paradiddles is aimed at all ages and abilities. Over the course of 42 pages, you will learn: 300 exciting patterns derived from the single paradiddle!!! to play paradiddles over funky bass drums. simultaneous paradiddles to improve co-ordination. mind-melting linear patterns applied around the kit. the concept of paradiddle interpolation. This book is only available through Amazon. Thanks for visiting Leicester Drum School Shop. Please browse our growing range of fun, unique drum-related t-shirts, hoodies and mugs.
