Eighteen on a Hand (Paradiddle-diddle Builder) is a twist on the traditional 8 on a Hand. By adding a huckadig (one-handed breakdown of a paradiddle-diddle) to the measure of legatos, this exercise opens the door to many great variations for combining and refining doublestroke and accent-tap fundamentals, in service of building excellent paradiddle-diddles. It is a simple concept, but there is a lot that you can do with it.

Hucka Dig Deep is a fulcrum teaser that challenges your mastery of diddle speed control. Varying diddle speeds as well as varying spaces available for upstrokes will expose your shortcomings in the complicated marriage of accent/tap fundamentals and doublestroke fundamentals that paradiddle rudiments demand.
