Double Paradiddle Around the Drum Set
The double paradiddle is the combination of single and double stroke, much like the single
paradiddle.
Single Paradiddle applied on a Snare
The double, in a double paradiddle, comes from doubling the single stroke. So, while in the basic
single paradiddle, you have a single stroke followed by a double stroke, in the basic double
paradiddle you get two single strokes followed by a double stroke.
Double Paradiddle applied on a Snare
While the single paradiddle is usually played as 16th notes, the double paradiddle is played a lot
as 8th and 16th note triplets. Hence, although not being the most important of rudiments, it is a lot
of fun to play and enables all sort of possible combinations around the drum kit, just like the
single paradiddle.
Both Jared and Dave wrote 5 exercises for this lesson. The 10 lick picks are divided in two
sections, one for beats and another for fills. Also, as you move along these exercises they will get
more challenging. With that said, don’t forget to start each exercise slowly, especially when you
are learning the sticking. Don’t get discouraged if you can’t get them right away, just take your
time and most important of all have fun.
Beats
Dave’s Lick Pick #1
In this exercise, you basically take the double paradiddle and alternate it between the
ride and hi-hat. Bass drum hits are on the 1 and the let of 1. As for the snare, hit it on 3.

Lesson #12 – Double Paradiddle Around the Drum Set
Jared’s Lick Pick #1
This lick is basically played on the snare and hi-hat. The second double paradiddle,
however, is distributed between the snare and rack toms. Jared plays the double strokes
on the hats using wrist strokes while the doubles on the snare are bounced. As the speed
increases, he uses more bounces than wrists.
Jared’s Lick Pick #2
This lick is a two bar pattern. You use the same basic snare and hi-hat pattern,
incorporating the toms once again. In the first bar, Jared does a pick up to the accent in
the snare on the high tom. In the second bar he does the pick up as well as move
around the toms, while playing the bass drum with the mid and low tom. You should
watch the dynamics of your hits on the snare. Only the hits on 3 of both bars are accents,
while the remaining snare hits are very quiet. These ghost notes will make the beat sound
more interesting.
If the bass drum is giving you problems, while playing it with the toms, leave it out at first
and add it later. Also, this beat is a little busy, so you wouldn’t necessarily want to play
this the whole way through a song. Hence, you can play the first bar as the main pattern
and add in the second bar half way through it.
Double Paradiddle patterns involving toms, is actually one of Jared’s favorite things to do
with this rudiment.
Dave’s Lick Pick #2
There is very little happening with the right hand, which is playing half-note triplets on the
ride. The double paradiddle is being split between the leg operating the bass drum
pedal and the hand playing the snare drum. You could instead play the ride pattern on
the hi-hat.

This is a challenging pattern, but will help you attain a greater level of independence
between your hands and your leading leg.
Dave’s Lick Pick #3 (Can be used as a Fill or as a Beat)
On the 2, you play the doubles on the snare. The singles are on the ride and hi-hat.
Double bass is played at the same time as all of the hi-hat and ride hits. When played
slower, the double bass pattern can be played with a single pedal if you want. Try
moving the double stroke to the toms, for different ideas.
Jared’s Lick Pick #4
Play half a beat of just kick drum and hi-hat, with snare drum on 2, and incorporate the
double paradiddle as 16th note triplets, starting at 3.
If you are having problems playing the bass drum on the last 16th note triplet on beat 3,
just leave it out.
Fills
Jared’s Lick Pick #3
This lick is played as a 16th note triplet fill. For each beat, you play accents on the RR and
LL on both the crash cymbal and hi-hat, like this – RlRlrr LrLrll RlRlrr LrLrll – and the doubles
on the snare.

Lesson #12 – Double Paradiddle Around the Drum Set
Dave’s Lick Pick #4
The first and third triplets, on the first and third beat of the bar are played on the hi-hat
and crash cymbal respectively, while the double paradiddle is played between the
toms.
Jared’s Lick Pick #5
This fill is played between three toms, snare drum and double pedal, which is playing 8th
note triplets. It is a very cool pattern to practice and a good fill for heavy-metal music.
Now, for players that don’t have a double bass pedal, instead of playing 8th note triplets,
you can play quarter note triplets with a single bass pedal. This variation is a very good
one, making it sound almost better than the original with double bass, since this one is
less busy.
Dave’s Lick Pick #5
Instead of starting this fill with singles, the double paradiddle is inverted, so we start with
the double strokes on the snare, while the singles are played on the toms.
This fill is a bit weird because you are starting where you usually end the double
paradiddle, so it will take a bit to get used to it. You end this pattern with the left hand,
which is perfect, since this way you can crash with the right hand and kick drum right into
the beat again.
