Triple Paradiddle With Moving Singles

This lessons is another orchestration idea for the Triple Paradiddle. It is essential that you are familiar with the sticking for this lesson and you may find the exercises easier if you have covered other paradiddle orchestration lessons previously. The concept used in the construction of these exercises is similar to the Moving Doubles orchestrations.

In the orchestration exercises below, you will play a tiple paradiddle on the snare and every time a single stroke is played you will be moving those hands to another part of the kit. Because of the way the sticking for a triple paradiddle works, the order hand the singles move in will alternate each time. In this Single Stroke Triplet Orchestration lesson I discussed the idea of 'splitting the kit', the same idea is applied here. Feet have been included all exercises but in those that include cymbals they might not be a pattern you have used before. There are a lot of single strokes in this rudiment so there will be more orchestration involved here.
