The Inverted Paradiddle With Quaver Feet

This lesson can be considered a follow on from our Inverted Paradiddle With Quarter Note Feet lesson. In this lesson you will focus on using eighth note foot patterns to further familiarize you with the co ordination and independence between hands and feet. In the examples below both standard and reversed sticking have been shown, it is important to learn both versions of these exercises. All feet patterns on this page should look familiar as they have been applied under different rudiments in previous lessons.

Use a metronome wherever possible and remember to start slow and build the tempo up as you get more comfortable with the placement of notes.
