(think 12/8) RLL-RLR-RLL-RLR

swing 4/4 1 , , 2 , , 3 , , 4 , ,
(You might also recognize it as one of the Elvin Jones Independence exercises found on Four On The Floor blog: http://jonmccaslinjazzdrummer.blogspot.com/2009/12/elvin-jones-independence-exercises.html )

And just for fun:

Para-Diddle-Doh! (for Fives) Quarter note = 5 20th notes in 4/4 = ||:RLRRL:|| x 4 for a 4/4 bar. Ha! Try that! THEN permutations!

standard version starts with the single strokes and finishes with the doubles

RLRR LRLL

reverse paradiddles start with the diddles/doubles (inversion #3 in the pdf):

LLRL RRLR

outwards paradiddles have the double strokes on either end of each group of four notes (inversoin #4 in the pdf):

RLRL LRLR

and inwards or inverted paradiddles have the doubles in the middle of each group of four notes (inversion #2 in the pdf)

RLLR LRRL
