Keith refers to that first kick-kick-right-left section as the &#8216;accent&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>From there, you can start mixing it up around the kit to make it more interesting. You can also make the roll longer. Try doubling it up: KKRLRRLLRRLL<\/p>\n<p>You might change out the paradiddle-diddle for other rudiments if you want to make it your own.<\/p>\n<p>Use this lick in fills, in solos, as a transition, or maybe at the end of a song where you want to play a powerful flurry of notes.
