Using The Groups Of 6 Orchestration

For these Double Paradiddle fills you will just be taking the Groups Of 6 Orchestration from our initial rudiment lesson series. In all exercises on this page you will be presented with an 'AAAB' style pattern where 'B' is a double paradiddle fill using one of the original orchestrations of the rudiment. If you have covered the lesson linked above this shouldn't be too difficult as you are just working on the switch from groove to fill.

For each given part, make sure you can play the fill before you do anything. Take it slow if necessary and remember that the accuracy of your part is far more important than tempo. When playing the full four bars make sure there are no gaps between the groove and fill. Feet have been included in some patterns but feel free to either remove or change them as you wish. I have also shown different lengths of fill in the list below.
