Back in Drum Corps days, the drummers had rudimentary exercises. The most basic was a ‘Paradiddle”: R-L-R-R L-R-L-L (over and over again).
Then double Paradiddles: R-L-R-L-R-R L-R-L-R-L-L
And Triples: R-L-R-L-R-L-R-R L-R-L-R-L-R-L-L
Nothing to do with this word other than: it rhymes. Really. No taradiddle.
look at you and truthy with all the DRUM knowledge!! i’d never heard that word before, paradiddle.
