LAUNCH the Paradiddle Applications Screen, Listen to the examples, first with and then without the accompaniement (use the 'solo' and 'mute' buttons), and then 'have a go' at becoming the next Vinnie Colaiuta or Steve Smith. You'll be studying with their teacher, Gary Chaffee.

**Remember . . . you can slow down and speed up the exercises to match your ability and you can mute and solo the drums so you can 'become the drummer' as you play along with the rhythm section.
