關於愛，我是個小學生。

Each time when I riffled my sticks of my routine paradiddle on the pracitce pad, I wondered how to apply it onto the kit fills, just like the one I witnessed agape at Atonbei, a local instrument rental and outlet trading store in Taiwpei City, performed by a young clerk on the ground floor. I was so impressive by the fluency and effortlessness he took on with his adept paradiddle device on the ravishing Roland  TD-9K, at stunning speed of couse. I was also amazed at how poised and consistantly he alternated both his hands swirling above the snare along with the other three tons accompanied with the powerful beats steadily stomped by the right foot in a rock concert manner. I said to myself that this was indeed the very incentive why people practiced the paradiddle like devil.

Recently on YouTube, I've learned some unique paradiddle applications on fills this week by Mike Michalkow, a very amiable, instructive, and creative drummer and teacher. His humous and explicit explaining on drumming skills is among the best, just as excellent as those of Vanz Drumming, another great drummer at the level second to none. I like them very much, and they reveal both dedication and creativity at the same time. After viewing these treasurable educational footages presented by these great teachers. I thus knew clearly the way the young kid at the store had demonstrated. What a paradiddle could be to drumming playing! I'd very much like to share this technique with all of you who are drumoholics.

First, what is a paradiddle technique then, merely RLRR LRLL? Well, try it out yourself as the vid does:

Let's see how Mike Michalkow applies the single paradiddle pattern on the kit with sixteenthe notes, a 4-4 tempo, cool fills, and very dynamic:

Also, double paradiddle, which puts another single stroke followed by a paradiddle, RLRLRR LRLRLL, is quite cool element for funky ryhthms:

Now, let's take a look at what Vanz would say to paradiddle fills:

After many year's strenuous perspiration, frustration, and countless torture. You will probablly take your paradiddle to something like this:

Thank to those great drummers dedicated to drumming promotion and selfless educational instructions, I see the beautiful world of drumming. Thank the facilitating YouTube, which brought the whole world connected. And, of course, thank God for giving us all these wonderful.
