So-called because it consists of three and a half "paras" (RL RL RL R), plus a diddle (LL), and I... never mind. I was hitting the practice pad along with an Illinois Jacquet/Wild Bill Davis recording (Blues for New Orleans, a very slow blues), and worked out this little pattern:
This can be very useful if you're working on your Jack Dejohnette "fast within slow" thing, or as just triplet solo vocabulary in 3/4 (convert the rhythm to 8th note triplets, in that case). This pattern does not change hands like a regular triple paradiddle, so practice these leading with the left as well. Once you have them together as single measures, combine measures as I've outlined previously.

very cool, Todd. i have been getting back to groups of 9s as jazz solo ideas. some of these reminded me of some of the ones i have been shedding lately.

old stuff:
(1) RLL RLR LFF as S-S-S FT-RT-FT RT-BD-BD
(2) RLL FFL RFF as S-S-S BD-BD-HH FT-BD-BD or S-S-S BD-BD-RT FT-BD-BD
new stuff i am working after finding the sticking (i wrote in years ago) in my Morello book under table of time. the sticking was just a way to get back to the right-hand instead of alternating rights & left every other quarter note:
(3a) RL(R) (R)(LL) (RR)L as FT-RT-S S-S-S S-S-S
this was "ok" as hands-only, but flowed better for me as R(LL) at the end like so w/ an accent on the right-hand:
(3b) RL(R) (R)(LL) R(LL) as FT-RT-S S-S-S S-S-S
and w/ the BD subbed at the end (can be linear like 3c or layered in 3c1)
(3c) RL(R) (R)(LL) R(L)F
(3c1) RL(R) (R)(LL) R(LL/F)
3c transitions nice to right-handed RLF triplet fills (elvin/tony)
(3d) RLF RLF RLF etc.
forgot a new 6 pattern:
ReplyDeleteL(RR) LRF as S-S-S RT-FT-BD
goes REAL nice into LRF LRF (Gadd style, left-lead "puddilies") or 9 patterns.
Excellent, thanks for that- I'll try that out!
