Drum rudiments are the building blocks of drumming. The single paradiddle is one of the most useful we have right next to single strokes and double strokes. The drum rudiments are a language. Once you learn them, they open up completely new opportunities in your playing. But far too often I see drummer's half learning their rudiments. Never taking that step to apply them to the drum-set.
This lesson is taken from a public livestream I did in February of 2018. In it, I show you a very practical and methodical way to break out the paradiddle so that you can use it in new and creative ways. The really great thing...the method I teach in the lesson works with ANY rudiment or sticking. I hope you enjoy the lesson.

This guy is a YT gem!
Thanks so much my friend!
Yes!!!! I am not a beginner. Been on the road in the past and still have always struggled with this topic. I have looked for years on help to incorporate rudiments. Love the system/zone! You have earned a sub + purchase from this one video.
Practice practice practice
Without a doubt one of your best lessons in my opinion Stephen! I've caught lessons of yours over the years through Drumeo, TH-cam, etc but this one really clicked with me. The system you teach here is great and I'm looking forward to applying it to my learning going forward.
Thanks a lot! The way you break it up, it’s easier for somebody who don’t have a high level in drum to understand this. Thanks a lot again man.
I am a drumming instructor also. I did a whole written out lesson on the application of the single paradiddle for the kit. I think that Stephen did a SUPERB job here explaining and demonstrating. He also did not try to show off. He did an excellent job. Bravo!

Hello Stephen. Thank you for this free lesson. Can I ask about the metronome app that you use on your phone?
I’ve watched so many videos on TH-cam to learn different techniques and YOU are the best teacher I’ve ever seen. Your explanations and skill and style just makes things click for me. From your mnemonic devices to your humor makes me want to play. Thank you for these lessons.
You made my day...thanks so much. So glad it resonates with you
Greatly appreciate your Lessons. I've been a Guitar player 30 years. I'm learning how to play Drums.
I started learning drums only a couple of months ago and your lessons are helping so much!! Chunking and assembly lines are by far the best way I've been able to learn. Thanks a TON!
You made my day Ramya. So glad they help...and welcome to the drum fam!
You are a great teacher. Thank you!
So glad it helped my friend

This is exactly what I am looking for currently. My teacher introduced me to Paradiddles a few Months ago and my practice is already lacking just because I never know what to do with this thing behind the kit. You messing around in your zones looks so fricking simple, I'm jealous! Thank you very much for this lesson.
You bet Henri
Dang after I wrote my comment I took a couple minutes to scroll through the other comments and it seems I’m not the only one who recognizes your skills as an instructor! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a TH-cam video w/ this many wholeheartedly POSITIVE comments. That by itself is an achievement. But with this kind of response from viewers, I hope you do private lessons and make bank doing it (top tier -per hour- rates would be 100% justified) because you deserve to be highly rewarded for being able to give people these precious jewels of knowledge. That is all I had to say. Have a blessed day bro! ✌️
You made my day. Thanks!
Very cool lesson. I love the way you zone the chunks. It provides a lot of variety in a simple groove. Thanks for sharing!
Tom Molotky You bet Tom
This is one of the most useful lessons I’ve ever seen. This has been a brick wall for me.
yeah i agree, this guys method and approach is really easy to apply to the drums, also try rob brown's video's on you tube, he is a super good teacher for this kind of stuff.
Awesome topic and lesson!! Thank you again Stephen
Dumdrum You bet!
Very nice lesson. Thank you for your generosity.
For so long, I was so frustrated because my drumming has become stagnant. Thanks to this lesson, I have something new to practice and add on to my music! Thanks, Stephen.
Wow Wow Love it! Glad it lit a fire under you
Very helpful thank you
Great stuff Stephen. Systematic learning is essential to becoming well rounded drummer and musician. Your method requires, focus, discipline and routine. That foundation leads to musical freedom and individual identity for each player. You are right on brother. Thanks for sharing. GT Albright
Thanks!
Mind. Blown. Thanks, Stephen. I've significantly improved just off this lesson.
Jonathan Arias That makes my day to know Jonathan. Thanks for telling me!
Can u please make a video on reading musical notes
Hell yea Stephen, glad i got this in to start to tool bag. Hitting this soon. Thank ya man. Cheers
I actually learned application of the paradiddle in groove waaaay back in da late 60’s behind Gregg Errico n Sky’s You Can Make It If You Try. The drum break is a coldblooded paradiddle applied across what’s basically your zone 4.
However this lesson is slick because it has this ‘system’ which becomes like a one size fits all thing across the rudimentary process. It adds or rearranges notes to create new permutations of the same thing. This diverging versatility is key because while I’ve had lil to no prollum applying the paradiddle life ain’t quite dat easy fo me othawise (i.e double strokes, ratamacues...etc). Stuff either lacks power/volume or it seemingly remains in my practice bag indefinitely soon to be a home fo misfit rudiments!
I’ll keep working.
You’re my friend I’ve never met. You n like maybe 2 other cats.
You’ve all helped define and further elucidate things I’ve been playin all my life.
Thanks always man!!!!
That’s SLY as in Sly and the Family Stone
So glad the content has helped my friend!
Great exercise!
Best lesson I ever lean and and being taught..._
Excellent video! Thank you for posting this.
Warren K You bet Warren
I like your mouse pad. I love your lessons. Thank you so much for all the valuable teachings!
You’re more than welcome my friend!
Love It!
Excellent exercises, French, I learned a lot with your lessons. Thank you from France ;)
I jus found you and this was a great lesson thnks so much for shareing i will looking to follow you as much as possible
Love it
Love the 3s
The step from paradiddle across the kit to accents was huge for me... But eventually nailed it!
Drummers: „triplets“
Musicians coming to the drums from other instruments: *utter confusion
I and my Music Pastor, thank you.
You bet!
Try accenting every up-beat, sounds very interesting ;)!
Great lesson!
Thanks so much!
I was so drunk last night I came home and blew chunks. Unfortunately my dog's name is chunks. ba-dum-ch!!
So sad to see someone so arrogantly happy on their ride to a bottom.
@@richardnichols5174 You've got the sense of humor of a broken drum stick bud. I bet you (crash) every party you go to.
Why did you say this....
Your dad is named chunks to
Hi i belive that if you have a score in the screen at the same time that you play the exersices we help us !!!
Hay brother my name is G I'm a new drummer how can I get in the mood of my set
Wow best
Thanks Joshua!
Do you have to hit the drums very hard to be good?
You have to know when to hit hard or when not to ...to begin to be good
Mmm, this is nice. I've been hitting about an hour a day/4 days per week but I do my warm-up and then kinda...wander around for awhile lol. I'm a creature of organization and this is an excellent breakdown.
Question for you: if you're working on a new lick/groove, how much time do you spend on it before you move on to something else in a single practice session? To the point of fatigue, to a specific goal, etc?
You da man. \m/ ( > _ < ) \m/
Glad this helped!
To your question...I typically set a time limit for each item. If I get to the end of the time and I'm really making headway, I will them either choose to move on or stay on it a little longer. But for the most part, I split up the time beforehand amongst the items I need to work on so that they all get the attention they need.
DUDE!!!! You make me want practice... If that’s your intention; success 🤘🏽

No joke, I just watched this whole video and I don’t even play drums. I don’t own a drum set and don’t plan to anytime in the future. I just found the whole thing super interesting, the way you break it all down. You’re a great teacher! 💯🙌
Thank you my friend
The creative spark comes from an organized repetitive method which is engraved in your muscle memory.
Stephen Taylor Drummer
That was an amazing lesson and a teacher, thanks so much for doing that, we owe you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥁🥁🥁👌👌👌
This is object-oriented drumming if anyone knows what I’m saying
D++
just do chunks do not BLOW CHUNKS...right?
Hell yeah I'm gonna while True: over all these videos, this is pure golden!
"It gives us the palette to create. Everyone has the same colours, it's how we use them..."
The demonstration at around 20:20 was cool and all, and I really dig the system, but I rewound to replay that little quote because that's what really got me.
Subscribed.
m4dm4n Sometimes it’s the littlest things that we take away. I’m the same way
I can't believe I'm just now seeing this. This may be the best lesson I've ever seen.
Totally relate to your opening comment regarding the "gig bag..practice bag" Have you ever found yourself in a gig situation, and the practice bag licks just come out w/out thinking? If I force something from the practice bag, more than likely I'll screw it up. When I'm warmed up, feeling the tunes, I'll notice those licks from the practice bag showing up. I also am loving all the Bonham stuff! He's the reason I picked up sticks, and growing up playing mostly Zep stuff, it really made me a more musical player. Learning tunes came so much faster to me as a kid. Now I'm breaking it down, and cleaning it up (thanks in pt to you). I feel if you can play Bonhams stuff as he played it, you can play just about anything.
You are an absolutely magnificent teacher, I am a beginner drummer and Blind, I have no problems following your instructions… Thank you so much and looking forward to practising this… Love learning gnu sticking patterns/chunks… Love how you count out the timing also👏🏼💖💖🥰😘
Thanks dude! Very cleaverley put together practice method.
You bet Chad
Your teaching on paradiddle is very interesting. For some of us drummers, we're just happy to do the basic paradiddle which is: Right+left-right+right, and left+right- left+left.. Thank you for this lesson, I will explore this a little more.
I also really appreciate the way you've instructed to break down your kit into the zones. That idea is one that I would call "perfect pitch" for drumming
Actions speak louder than words ,arr ,picture tells a thousand words ,do n talk at the same time ,.the start of first chunk was when I go now I'm in.,then blarrrblarr ,fkn do it n talk it .I get heaps of real in the real world when I hear it ,I just wanna hear the drums ,fk year sound's good then like now I wanna listen .an when you play n talk it .the people can give it a go ,go back listn again Cause there hooked . 🤔👍👍🤜🤛 man the demo zone action speaks thousand times times moor effective i wish you'd talk it moor IN the demo , WISH I COULD edit blarr blarr ,just you're drumming an verbal expo would be truly the only lessons ,teacher ,vid ,book ,and man you're most high guru ,WALK THE TALK ,YOU DO IT ,BEST OF BEST ,.After watching this I think I wanna keep drumming till I die ,Bravo ,❤👏👏
‘ Can’t believe this is free! This is invaluable! Thank you, Stephen!
Great piece Steve master zones!
I learned a little trick. If you're having problems try this. Everytime you say diddle hit twice.
Par(r) a(l) diddle(r r )
Par(l) a(r) diddle(l l )
it was eye opening, finally got to see how this para diddle comes in to play that I practice over and over, Ive learned how to finally understand how to move around the drums and found out thats its ok to break up a para diddle and use different zones. its awesome Im not bored with the drums again and can be creative with this to no end. Just what I needed, thanks you so much im over a huge hump drums are fun again. Finally someone that could explain this to beginners in a way that made since, when just learning how to play you dont understand how a song is played on the drums you hear it but always new there was more but you explain the rules of how to bring it all together. ha ha ha not embarrassed when others can hear me play now, almost sounds like I know what im doing. Finally get to see and hear my own character and be able to listen and know its me playing or not in my way and style i like to play, you can start to become your own instead of playing what others play and comparing yourself to other music and using that as benchmarks of your skill level are over now. felt like the karate kid did learming wax on wax off with that paradiddle, practiced it over and over asking myself wtf am i doing this and where does it come in to play, not in a marching band so i now can see! Your awesome Steve. thanks for the GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT STEVE! Merry Christmas btw.
Thank You Stephen tomorrow I'll be able to hire You to be M drum teacher what kinda d of money will I be paying I only will to learn to play drums for old hyms and praise worship songs on church gatherings I have a six piece Ludwig drum set with four cymbils and the new hihat Ludwig base kick peddel and heavy duty hi hat they come out with. I need You to teacjh Me I already have tow beats down You taught Me on TH-cam.
In my humble opinion, the one thing that sets you apart from everybody else on TH-cam and even in real time, when you teach, your presentation is not about you, or even the student it's about learning how to play drum music and how rhythm, speed, and technique are cultivated, developed, and applied. Many of the so-called drumming gurus on TH-cam will tell you all about what a paradiddle is or even is not. Then, they play it and build up to speed and it's really all about look at me look how cool I sound playing this paradiddle don't you want to sound like me? That is definitely not you man. I think you should be a drum teachers teacher.
Dear Stefan, you making so amazing thing!! You spread your knowledge around the world and improve drumming on this planet. I'm so grateful!!!
This is great. So many videos show you what to practice. Thank's Stephen for showing HOW to practice.
You bet
I do not practice things I don't use while playing anymore....waste of time ! great points in this video...
Awesome video! Where is your shirt from? My father in law who watches your videos pointed out your shirt and I’m trying to find one for him
Dude heck yeah man. This is gold. Great work and a great teacher. Thank you.
Dekapitizer Dekapitizer Thanks so much...glad it helped!
This is great! but I followed the link and it wont send me the sheet music. I also was going to buy some other video packs, but they are inaccessible 5 minutes later. What the heck.
This was so helpful. It makes so much sense. This is definitely going to help me play more fluently.
Love the lesson.... do you have a lesson on playing the paradiddle faster? I will buy it if you have one.
Great job Sir Stephen, you are a Good teacher keep it up I learn a Lot from you just for free unlike others they hungry for my credit card, Godbless you and your family
55yo. Getting back into drumming!! Thank you for you talent. I love it !!
Thank you very much for the very interesting lesson I liked your method it makes order on the one hand and on the other hand opens up the possibility for the drummer to creat
Excellent points about staying focused and consistent with learning one lesson before moving on to something else
Great lesson Stephen, thank you from an old "try hard drummer" from Down Under!
Thank you so much for showing this process! This is going to prove incredibly useful.
Let us not forget orchestrating the switching of zones through an established chunk. Do Zone 1 for the first half of the chunk, Zone 2 for next half. Split a chunk into a weird number of zones!
(but at that point am I just taking a chunk and defining it as the sum of multiple smaller chunks, where each chunk stays in one zone for the entirety of a chunk???) ;)
Oh yea, You gotta start zonal mixing! That's actually the next step...I just didn't have time to get to it lol. Glad it proved useful!
Mystery solved finally a path over the hump. Now I have some real work to do. Thank you so much! I’ve not been this exited about a concept in a very long time.
I love it Richard...so glad it helped my friend
Yowww. How was this free?? ❤️❤️🥺 Thank you so much.
Wow - amazing lesson. Thank you! I feel like I owe you money, now!!
I love watching you diddle your kit, Stephen.
Are there any more chunks that aren't the paradiddles that we can use? Is there a list somewhere? :D
You talk too much stated playing 1959 stop talking
Thank you very much for breaking things down brotha!!!
🙏🏽😌🤘😆
You bet!
Thanks for this useful video. By far this has been one of the most useful practical videos I’ve ever watched.
Glad to hear it!
At last Stevo I've my home Studio together with a Portable PA & Pro Metranome to play to riffs recorded from our Bass player from the Blues club to Groove to & of course have my Laptop with all your great lessons to play along too !! HAPPY DAYS BUDDY !
EXCELLENT!!! Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Much appreciated.
You bet my friend
awesome stuff... thank you for the guidance..
Omg
I was pulling my eyes out during the start of this video...but I know Mr. Stephen was going somewhere...I just love his way of teaching. I love me some diddlers
Don’t pull your eyes out. They help you see. 🤓
You’re the perfect teacher
I agree
Unbelievable! Steven wants to give us as much “value” as he possibly can towards the end of the video! 3 things occur to me here. Surely you should only be concerned with value if people are paying for your services? His main point was revelationary in itself and I’m sure it will play a big part in my progress on this instrument! I don’t know how everyone else feels but I switched off around halfway through the video. It’s a lot for me to take in and it requires a lot of concentration over a long time. I reckon splitting it into 2 parts would’ve been a good idea....I just hope he is making plenty of money out of it but I have no idea how?
So I want to deliver value whether someone pays me or not. I want to over deliver if there’s money involved. Just the simple fact that you spent part of your day with me (in video form albeit) makes me want to return the favor of that attention with some type of value. So you have something to take away from your time with the lesson. And yea, this type of lesson takes a long time to go through. Split it in to several parts for sure.
@@StephenTaylorDrums Thankyou so much for replying Stephen I dno how you get chance. I guess there are so many drum tutors on YT that you kinda have to go over and above to "stick" ( bad joke I know lol) in people's minds and make them want to pay you over anyone else. However, if people can get quality for free then they will! I still wonder why YT tutors don''t do say, half a lesson, then make the viewer pay a small amount for the rest? I reckon I would pay small amounts to all my favourite YT tutors as I learn so much on here :o)
GREAT video/lesson! Just curious.... why are you starting with the snare drum in Zone 2, as opposed to the rack tom? All the other zones, you're starting with floor (Zone 1), floor again (Zone 3), hi-hat (Zone 4) and ride (Zone 5). Just wondering why the snare drum starts Zone 2. As a lefty drummer, I feel it's totally natural to start Zone 2 with my left hand (leading hand on the rack tom) as all the other Zones start with the leading hand that way. It's a little strange to start Zone 2 on the snare instead as the angle's a little weird. Thanks, Stephen!
Love this man! I am 58 years, taking lessons and drumming my butt off. I am absorbing as much as I can but practicing slow and building in. Really like the explanations. Thanks!
So glad it helped Michael!
Great video
Great system
Great drummer
Great teacher
Thanks!
This is so good
Wow! I haven’t watched this yet, but it’s literally what I started working on last night. Do you have a camera in my studio, or something?
Stephen Humphrey Meant to talk to you about those wall decorations...
my paradiddles NEVER sound like 23:00!! that is awesome!! I'm starting to understand this….
Lol...glad it's starting to make sense Brian!
