Zones Stephen mentions in this video are: (1) R on floor tom, L on snare; (2) R on snare, L on high tom; (3) R on floor tom, L on high tom; (4) R on hi-hat, L on snare; (5) R on ride, L on snare.
G’day Stephan, I got a little lost when you said you play the paradiddle with triplets. I’m missing something here I think. Does that mean you play 1/4 notes as in 1= RLR, 2=RLR, 3=LLR, 4=LRR?
Also, just to improve my left foot I step on the hi-hat playing 8ths when I’m practicing using my muller stroke doubles doing hand technique Pt 1 using your suggested zones, I’m trying with the triplets, but my brain can’t do that yet. Are you just playing the 1/4’s?
As for the hihat, playing 8ths with triplets causes a 2/3 polyrhythm. That is what is hanging your brain up. And that’s normal. Just play quarters on the hihat when playing triplets.
Oh, nice!
Working on the pariddle!

Just for everyone’s info…these are the zones I use 99% of the time to teach concepts.

Thanks for any help.
You wrote them out correctly, yes.
