Inverted Paradiddle Groove Style Fill

The fill presented in this lesson is just a simple orchestration of the inverted paradiddle but it sounds pretty cool. The idea is to play the left hand on the snare then with the right play a cymbal. Some examples of this are shown below in the context of a four bar pattern.
