Video Transcript

"Now, I'm going to show you an exercise that inverts the single paradiddle. So, normally you have this. But, in this exercise you're going to go through a couple versions. So, you have this. So, I'll show you again and I'll count it for you. One and a two and a right-left-right-right-right-left-right-right. When you get back to the beginning, you loop it around. I wrote it down for you. So , if you check this out you can see what it looks like. This is the first regular paradiddle. This is the first inversion. You have right-right-left-right-left-left-right-left. And, the last one is right-left-left-right-left-right-right-left. Then, the accents you see you can place where they are. So, I'm going to play it for you now. I'll play it slow and then I'll play it a little bit faster, so you can hear what it sounds like when I get it up to speed. One and a two and a three and a four and a. And, now a little bit faster. It's the single paradiddle inversion exercise."
