PARADIDDLE GRID

Here is a sheet which utilizes a grid structure to work through a particular sticking/accent combination:

4 paradiddle-diddles (right hand lead): RLRRLL (labeled as  p2) and

1 paradiddle (right hand lead): RLRRLRLL (labeled as p1)

 One can of course do these with left hand lead as well.

note: p2 has 1 accent at the beginning of each paradiddle-diddle, p1 has 2 accents,  1 in the beginning and one in the middle of each paradiddle.

note: p2 has 1 accent at the beginning of each paradiddle-diddle, p1 has 2 accents,  1 in the beginning and one in the middle of each paradiddle.
