Inverted Paradiddle

Inverted Paradiddle Rudiment Sheet Music

A Paradiddle where the sticking pattern is offset by one note.

There seems to be some confusion with this rudiment as some resources incorrectly list the Reverse Paradiddle as the Inverted Paradiddle. However, my current research into rudiments and their history confirms that the sticking below is the correct Inverted Paradiddle.

Sticking: R-L-L-R-L-R-R-L

Difficulty Level: Beginner

Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever.
Amen.
