I tend not to discuss hybrid rudiments with anyone, nor are they something I've practiced, but if book reports come up in a topic I will probably through in the word slivz.

Also I just added the word to my Firefox dictionary.

let's just call them muffins..because who doesn't like muffins?

Thanks for reading ! Currently Im working with Ralph Hardimon, Vic Firth, Mike Macintosh, Cavaliers, and a few other people to amend this. Were creating a documentary for the "Grid University" youtube channel.

We've confirmed that it is NOT in Mazurs rudimental bibledom from 1978, that has pretty much the entire grid written out...but I got to it a little differently.

Anyhow, thanks again

Because no one else has claimed them yet, two consecutive eighth notes, without any ornamentation, shall henceforth be known as "Chambanas".

Cool?


Everyone down? Doesn't matter if you have played two eighth notes before. No one else came up with a good name for them, so I am. Chambanas.

Happy gridding!

Slivz sound cool...I'm down!

Someone wants credit for something that wasn`t even his invention! All this pattern is, is a Flammed six stroke roll alternated! And you grid fanatics can start on any partial you like. This is originally a swiss rudiment gone through some form of sticking re-arrangment. And you want to take credit for it! You didn`t invent it and it is also not your idea. I call them alternated flammed six stroke rolls and you can get out your Anahiem Kingsmen slang Hip Hop lingo to call it anything you want. Oh, I always knew Ralph Haridmon by the name "Paradiddle Ralph" see if he remembers that one!

Oh, by the way I invented the backsticking through the fingers that Scott Johnson takes credit for these days, he calls it "The Spida". I showed it to him and he used it in his 1977 DCI solo. Along with a 12/8 section out of my own solo that he keeps on playing in his Lick of the Week series. Funny how people take credit for things that their own instructors have shown and given to them. I`m glad they no longer judge execution for drum lines or Johnson would have never gotten half of his fame, being a liar and a cheat. Good to see him in 4th this year in drums and that was high. Execution was always his problem, even Rob Carson would beat him easily in solo contests because he ticked. Sorry the world is a different place now, you seem to let mistakes fly by and not notice!

What in the hell?

My sentiments exactly.

Ha, I taught the BD`s in 1976&77. I was the snare tech and put 10 snares on the field who won DCI Drums. Rick Odello told me to help out two snare soloists in 1977, which I gave Johnson the backsticking and section from my solo and also wrote a solo for Terry Shalburg who was 2nd in snare that year. Terry used some of my ideas but wrote his own solo and also choked when he played rushing the ending and recieving a penalty for undertime. Johnson has been taking credit for my stuff for years and I just laugh at him now. Very original if you think about it. Just like the Hybrid pattern that got renamed because someone thought they invented it. I was using that very same concept of alternating flammed six stroke rolls when I won DCI snare in 1974. Ha! and you guys think this is original.

I beat Rob Carson and Ken Mazur in snare solos for the DCI snare titles in 1974&75. I was also there for the BD`s first DCI championship and drum title in 1976. Also Johnson was competing at the time and was well down the list. He would have been beat by Shalberg in 1977 if I hadn`t given him the stuff he needed to win.
