Practice notes
The paradiddle (R L R R, L R L L) turned into a beat: the right hand plays its notes on the hat, the left hand plays its notes on the snare — ghosts, except the accented backbeats. Say "pa-ra-di-ddle" out loud until your hands stop arguing.
The style reference names an influence only; this groove is an original pattern.
