Smoooves

Smoooves is a simple pattern for fitting five-note rudiments into a juxtaposition between sixteenth notes and fivelets. Included are some example rudiments that are well-suited t this pattern, as well as some accent variations to play around with. Despite all the effort changes involved, keep it smooth!

Chocolate Mitchells 2015

June 10, 2018 Jessica Lemieux

Chocolate Mitchells 2015 was written for a specific context of show music, hence the overly-specific height definitions when the different rudiments are all put together. "Chocolate Mitchells" were our name for the rudiment you get when a paradiddle or paradiddle-diddle figure gets an extra note that is accented, and it is filled into the same amount of space. Mitchell Barnard wrote quite a few of these figures for WSIP's 2015 production, so we used this exercise to build the rudiment and then apply it to the musical context.
