The Hardest Rudiment: The Flamadiddle-Diddle
Here I break down John Riley's exercise for strengthening flamadiddle-diddles, the rudiment that Joe Morello considered to be the hardest to grasp. Memphis Drum Shop has credit for the original video of him demonstrating the exercise that I use here, but I wanted to notate the full thing as triplets like he plays. I also explore some ways to take it around the drumset.
Full PDF of this (what you see in the video on screen) is available for free on my website isaacschwartzmusic.com
