Most drummers practise paradiddles. Few ever discover just how creative they can become.
In Paradiddle Paradigm, Steve White takes three simple sticking patterns and transforms them into an endless source of ideas to develop your creativity, technique, phrasing and musicality around the drum kit.
Technique Evolution is a system designed to take a drummer’s hand technique and rhythmic knowledge from the beginning to advanced levels of playing.
Paradiddle Paradigm
Over many years in education and teaching, one of the most common questions — and challenges — drummers face is this: how do we take the discipline of practising rudiments (whose benefits we all recognise) and use those patterns and techniques to genuinely improve our creativity?
In The Paradiddle Paradigm, over 111 pages, we go on a journey using three simple and familiar sticking patterns, exploring just how far we can develop and apply them. The aim is not only to strengthen and refine technique, but also to unlock that all-important element of creativity.
Technique Evolution is designed to guide both beginners and advanced students through the key components needed to develop superior hand and sticking techniques. The exercises in this book have been used by Simon for over 30 years as part of his teaching curriculum. They have consistently proven to help students advance their skills to new levels. Drawing on methods from his own teachers, Simon has carefully structured these exercises to track and foster the progression of a student’s technique over time.
