In this section, we will study 8 grooves with eighth-note ride patterns and variations between the snare and bass drum.
Start by playing the pattern on the hi-hat, then practice it on the ride cymbal.
This page is an integral part of the Lincoln Ribeiro Drum Method – Basic Vol. II.
The 40 PAS rudiments form the essential technical foundation for every drummer.
Developed and organized by the Percussive Arts Society, they bring together fundamental sticking patterns that build coordination, accuracy, speed, and control.
By practicing these rudiments — including single strokes, diddles, paradiddles, flams, and drags — musicians develop a solid base for playing with greater fluency and musicality in any percussion style.
They are universal exercises that strengthen technique and elevate overall performance.
In this section we will study the application of the Paradiddle rudiment in Grooves.
Two types of Paradiddle will be presented, let's call them Paradiddle #1 and Paradiddle #2.
Paradiddle #1 is the “Single Paradiddle”, the traditional RLRR LRLL, and Paradiddle #2 is the “Inward Paradiddle” RLLR LRRL.
They will be applied between Snare and Bass Drum, as well as between Hi Hat / Ride and Snare.
