Welcome to Nasty Lick #69.
The more comfortable I get with a drumming pattern or idea, the more variations occur to me. This simple three note pattern is one of my favorites. If you are a regular reader of the blog, you probably know that the paradiddle-diddle is another favorite of mine.
Foot-Right-Left as triplets is the more common metric in which to use this lick, but I’ve been finding that using it as 32nd notes sounds amazing. Once I add paradiddle-diddles to the mix, things get even more interesting. Check it out and see if you agree.

Hey Dude
I’m a percussion teacher in ‘Bonnie Scotland’ and have been an avid reader of this blog for a year or so now; lovin’ the 23nd note double/triplet combo’s, thank you.
Hope you don’t mind me throwing a suggestion for a ‘get out’ in number 2? here goes……
Insert a kick on the last 32nd note of beat 3 (this now gives you a double kick) shunt the rest of the 32nd notes forward…. the resulting ‘shred’ gives a nice landing with the kick on beat 1 of the next bar.
Hope this makes sense in Scottish 🙂
All the best
Steve
