"Diddles" are basically double strokes placed inside of a rhythm. The difference between "Diddles" and "Double strokes" is that double strokes are generally practiced/performed in conjunction with double sticking (For example when you have a set of four 16th notes, and they are sticked RLRR instead of RLRL). So the effect is (although not necessarily so) that double strokes are performed "slower" than diddles.
Your double strokes MUST be in excellent shape, before you can go on to diddles. This is precisely the reason we have you practice A-B for extended periods of time, before we introduce you to diddles. Otherwise, your diddles will be weak and bouncy instead of strong and defined.
Why must diddles be so strong and defined? If there is any distortion (i.e. an unclear definition that you are playing two separate strokes), then you cannot possibly match that up with another player:
Unclear + Clear DOES NOT equal= Clear
Only:
Clear + Clear = Clear  |
