The following exercise was going to be called the Paradiddle Polyrhythm Rudiment, but I felt that

it was too long to be just one rudiment. Instead, it makes for a formidable polyrhythm exercise in
paradiddles. As you practice, keep time with a metronome and tap quarter notes with your bass
drum. If some of the polyrhythms are too difficult for you at first, skip them and come back to
them later.

Note that although the exercise is written with only one repeat at the end, I suggest mastering
each measure individually before attempting to connect them as a complete study.

You can also try different sticking patterns with the exercise, including inverted paradiddles (RLLR
LRRL) and double strokes (RRLL or LLRR)
