Double Paradiddle Grooves - Part 2 'The Inverted Double'

Ok, so how did you get on with the first batch? I bet you've nailed them all ...

Here's the second lot - This time its an Inverted Double Paradiddle, played on your left hand (Right hand for Big Dave) and right foot.

The downloadable PDF can be found here or click on the chart below to go full screen.

Watch out for the third and final instalment on Friday ... something for the weekend!


NEW - Each post, from now on is going to include some recommended listening. You're going to need Spotify (if you need help with getting Spotify - let me know).

So this week's 'Listening home-work' is some fine West Coast Funk (pronounced FONK! as in honk) from Tower of Power. The drummer is David Garibaldi who is the king of funky grooves using  paradiddles. Have a listen to this album Tower Of Power – Great American Soulbook.
Their version, on this album, of 'Me and Mrs Jones' is in 12/8 and therefore would be a great way to practice those double paradiddle triplet grooves! Me and Mrs Jones.

Enjoy ... and stay funky!
