Diddle Control

January 1st, 2008 by James Voss Grumish

This is the first set of free exercises/etudes published and distributed on the FreeDrum.Info website. Diddle Control has been specifically chosen to establish an expectation of what to find here. Although better suited for marching percussion, it is also applicable to general/concert. Use it for individual skill improvement, or give it a try in an ensemble setting.

Diddle Control is a collection of three different exercises. The audio file only has the first exercise, Diddle Manipulation, repeated four times. The other two exercises on the Diddle Control sheet don’t really need play-along audio, just a good metronome.

Welcome to the site. Enjoy.

Happy New Year.
