  • Somewhere between geebing out to Matt's CZcams videos and watching Troy Wright absolutely slay his "Polyrhythmic Movements Over a Groove" video ( • Polyrhythmic Movements... ) I came up with this vid.
    I hope your not totally sick of single paradiddles yet cause I keep finding crazy ways I CAN'T play them :)
    So these are the three videos you have to be able to play through for this one to make sense:
    #1: Displaced Single Paradiddle Challenge
    • The Displaced Single P...
    #2: Modulating Single Paradiddles
    • Modulating Single Para...
    #3: The "Thomas Pridgen" Paradiddle Groove Challenge Part-1
    • Video
    Download the PDF:
    www.dropbox.com/s/906fuoif9zh...
    Download the Guitar Loop:
    www.dropbox.com/s/gk22u4640me...
    Take this stuff slow and build it up one bar at a time. Through repetition you lose the guesswork and you can just focus on the groove and all the layers working together to create a massive morphing triplet train heading straight to planet zontar! Once you start getting it together, grab the guitar loop and start challenging yourself to play this thing along with some music!
    Leave me comments here and on Facebook!! I want to hear what crazy ideas you have to take this stuff to the next level and ways I can improve in any way! Thanks for checkin it!

    Before starting this exercise, you must be able to fluently speak English, French, German, Italian, Thai, and Khoisan click language, have a PHD in physics, one in chemistry, and a humanities subject of your choice, be confident in the design and manufacture of astronomical radio interferometry telescopes and have visited at least 2 other planets, and their moons.
    Ok?
    Lets begin.

    God bless! I've recently started a polymetric Djent/Jazz/fusion band and your stellar challenge has improved our songwriting tremendously in the triplet-category And the fact that you ain't charging dough makes you a Saint on earth.Your'e an incredible player and drum teacher. I'm looking forward for more challenges in the future. Peace! n Greetings from Stockholm, Sweden:)

    @Drumaier Před 7 lety +8

    Wow, whait a minute...this...i mean....this is...like...best drumming video ever? amazing video, and the fact that you uploaded the pdf and guitar loop is making it as special as you can get. Thanks a lot for this. And people disliking this aren't really people, they are just monkeys with a knife.

    Dude! I'm nailing this in one go at 60bpm now, tomorrow i'm gonna blast it at 70bpm for a few hours. it took me a good month to get from your very first paradiddle vid to this one (bit of a break over xmas) but I got there! What a great challenge / bunch of challenges! Really levelled me up, I can already feel it creeping into my playing naturally. It's basically gonna be my warm up routine ! Thank you! I rememeber a couple years back thinking "how are Pridgen and Garstka doing this kinda thing so naturally and fluenly!?"....THIS right here is one of the blueprints and I shall be teaching it to my advanced students. One up! Leveled up! Word up!

  • @trevorlaporte5951
    @trevorlaporte5951 Před 8 lety +3

    Wow it's cool how something so complex sounding turns out to be (in my eyes) pretty simple once you see it notated out, and realize what's actually going on.

  • @Lostenso
    @Lostenso Před 8 lety +5

    love the way you direct this video. crystal clear about what you want to convey!

  • @Jerzius
    @Jerzius Před 6 lety +6

    Amazing how the guitar loop stays the same but the entire emotion of the "song" changes as soon as you start cycling through the paradidles

    • @OneUpDrumVids
      @OneUpDrumVids  Před 6 lety

      Totally! It's crazy how different accents can change the vibe so drastically! Thanks for watching man :)

  • @jesseanderton2

  • @greysonwagner
    @greysonwagner Před 6 lety +13

    My brain broke trying to even imagine myself attempting this. Guess I have a lot of homework to do.

    • @Shadylurker85
      @Shadylurker85 Před 6 lety

      Greyson Wagner right, probably easier to just burn my drums and forget I ever played

    • @OneUpDrumVids
      @OneUpDrumVids  Před 6 lety +2

      hahah if you do it in the right steps its way easier than it sounds I promise!!

    • @OneUpDrumVids

    • @greysonwagner
      @greysonwagner Před 6 lety

    @devonstedy6812 Před 5 lety +2

    Glad I found you in my recommended channels. Not a full time drummer or anything, but I've been watching a lot of general music videos like these. I immediately found your style of talking and making the video super endearing. Cheers!

  • @fadul17
    @fadul17 Před 8 lety +2

    Dude, just WTF? This is awesome. You took some simple things and when all of them are together, the Matt Myth Garstka feeling is unquestionable. It kinda looks like kascade. But i'm amazed by how slowly-effectively you approached that, making it simple but when we listen to AAL it all seems so impossible. Subscribed! Congratulations from Brazil, looking forward to more videos!

    This explains why I can never figure out where Matts snare hits fall haha. It's cool to listen to how the different cymbal grooves highlight different parts of the guitar riff.

    • @OneUpDrumVids
      @OneUpDrumVids  Před 7 lety

    Thanks so much man! It really helped when you broke down the grove between the right foot and left hand, it allowed me to really get my head around the different elements in this beefy groove.

    Thank you for this. Love prog drumming and could groove but could never get into the rudimental side of it. Your videos are very helpful, keep it up!
