I&#8217;ve been doing a fair amount of this kind of thing lately- straight conditioning for getting around the drums- mostly using the very traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/pdxdrummer.com\/index.php\/2011\/02\/18\/best-books-rudimental-patterns-by-joe\/\">Joe Cusatis books<\/a>. I try not to think of this as learning licks; it&#8217;s more about programming into my muscle memory some moves that I might not do on the fly. First inversion paradiddles (that&#8217;s the RLLR LRRL sticking) are one of the key patterns for playing &#8220;hip&#8221;, and I use them a lot, so they&#8217;re a more logical starting place for me than regular paradiddles.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-6ZkEtWTOrEM\/T1BhZ38iy-I\/AAAAAAAAA8E\/mT5XscvHzsA\/s1600\/Finale%2B2008%2B-%2B%255Baround-the-drums-w-paradiddles-1st-inv%255D.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdxdrummer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Finale-2008-%5Baround-the-drums-w-paradiddles-1st-inv%5D.jpg\" width=\"247\" height=\"320\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><b>Notes:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Practice measures individually, then in the following sequence:<br \/>\nEx. 1-2, 1-3, 1-4&#8230; 2-3, 2-4, 2-5&#8230; 3-4, 3-5, 3-6&#8230; etc.<br \/>\nOn sequences, play each measure once or twice:<br \/>\nEx. 1-2-1-2&#8230;, or 1-1-2-2-1-1-2-2&#8230; etc.<\/li>\n<li>Notes in parenthesis are for making transitions between exercises without a crossover.<\/li>\n<li>Practice these in the quarter note = 120-160 range.
