    I don't mean to sound like a smart butt, but to any listener who is above average, knows that Calvin and Danny are two of the most notorious for using ghost notes. they are notes that can just barely be heard underneath the music and are used, not only to keep tempo, but to add flavor to the music. you did a beyond amazing job, and stated once again, I don't want to come off as a know it all, but ghost notes are the key to this track. you may know of Calvin, but, for your further gain, check out Danny Carey Rosetta Stoned live and the drum covers for it.

    Nice that you explained the different applications. Funnily enough I was thinking this morning that I should use the six stroke roll more and practice it more so I can pull it out of the bag easier. I'm very paradiddle diddle happy and have used his for triplets for most of my drumming life. I've been wondering which rudiment to give my student next - paradiddle diddle or six stroke roll. Interesting you think PDDs should he reserved for straight phrases. I agree the six stroke roll swings more. Cheers for this vid.

    • @NickSmall
      @NickSmall  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Rob Murray thanks for sharing your thoughts and for the encouragement! At this time in my progression as a drummer, I kept them separate in application to fit my play style better. PDDs are great in a triplet/sextuplet context also. I feel that for me though, six stroke roll in triplet phrasing seems to always flow better for me. Thanks again for watching!

    Just a little correction - a six stroke roll has two eigth notes (RL)and then the doubles are sixteenth notes (RRLL).
    Where as a Paradiddle-diddle is played all together as a group of SIX with a triplet feel, RLRRLL (1+A 2+A etc..)
    Six stroke roll: R L RR LL (1+ 2 E+A 3 + 4E+A)
    Paradiddle-diddle: RLRRLL ( 1 + A 2 + A 3 + A 4 + A)
    Same sticking but different.

    • @NickSmall
      @NickSmall  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      gsxerwhite it’s no problem man! That’s cool. I do that too. The method in this lesson is just an idea that I used to separate them in my head when I was thinking of fills/chops at this time.

    noooo it was a paradiddle diddle... I know my rudiments dude. a six-stroke roll can be started with the accented note or on the diddle. the last thing I did was a 32nd note grid pattern of paradiddle-diddle, paradiddle-diddle, paradiddle and then repeat. Oh and you should probably know that paradiddle-diddles are a NON-alternating rudiment so the sticking you gave in your last comment was totally wrong. Thanks for watching though
