Right, Left, Right,Right, Left, Right, Left, Left..........etc etc.
Totally ingrained in my memory from over 50 years ago, when I started out as a Drummer in the local Air Training Corps Drum & Bugle Band.
Couldn't do it then, and STILL can't (Honest Drummer, see!
).
My biggest regret, Drumming wise, is never having concentrated enough on "The Rudiments"!!
I remain totally in awe of those Drummers with impeccable technique - Tony, Brian, Buddy, Joe Morello etc etc.
As-to whether Tony WAS doing paradiddles, I can't be sure - but he always sounded GREAT!
