16th / Triplet Paradiddle Grid

Here’s a fun little grid to try next time you’re on the pad.  Play constant paradiddles, always accenting the first note of each one, but move between 16th notes and triplets every four beats, then two, then one.  The paradiddles will cross the bar lines so that not only will the accents and doubles shift through the bar, but some of the paradiddles will be part 16th notes, part triplet.  It’s a great challenge of stick and timing control.
