What is a drum paradiddle?
A paradiddle is a drumming rudiment that combines single strokes with precisely placed double strokes. In drum terminology, “para” means "single stroke" and “diddle” means "double stroke," and thus the term describes a sticking pattern where a single stroke is followed by a double stroke.
