Publish the Obsidian vault's Knowledge folder as /knowledge (881 notes, 67 folders), with a Knowledge item in the nav and footer. - scripts/import_knowledge.py regenerates data/knowledge from the vault: slugged paths, folder notes as index pages, wikilinks resolved to site links (or plain text), callouts, highlights, and Dataview tables rendered statically. Personal notes are withheld via an exclusion list plus a privacy guard. - tuftecms/core/knowledge.py builds a concept index from note titles and aliases. First mentions on ordinary pages link to their Knowledge note (capped, never in headings, code, links, or sidenotes); Knowledge pages list related notes and where they're mentioned across the site; other pages get a Related Knowledge block. - Knowledge URLs join sitemap.xml (so the sweep test covers them), never displace existing legacy slugs, list alphabetically, and mermaid diagrams render client-side only on pages that have them.

## The Rudiment
|
||
|
||
Drag Paradiddle #1 opens with a single accented tap and follows it with a paradiddle that carries a drag inside it. The figure reads as an accented lead-in note and then a dragged paradiddle, giving a phrase that starts clean and bright, then thickens with the ruff before resolving on the diddle. It is the first of two closely related rudiments — the second stacks an extra drag — and it establishes the pattern of setting a drag into the body of a paradiddle rather than at its front.
|
||
|
||
## Sticking
|
||
|
||
Drag Paradiddle #1 is conventionally written as an accented single, then a drag-laden paradiddle: **R llRLRR** for the first pass and **L rrLRLL** for the second, alternating. The opening uppercase stroke is the accented lead-in; the two lowercase strokes are the drag’s grace notes, which lead into the paradiddle’s single-single-double. Counted in sixteenths across a beat and a half, the opening accent and the drag anchor the figure. As printed stickings vary, trust the shape — accented pickup, then a dragged paradiddle.
|
||
|
||
## How to Play
|
||
|
||
The rudiment mixes dynamics and ornament: a strong accented lead-in, a low crisp drag, then an even paradiddle at a lower level. Keep the drag’s grace notes quiet and controlled so they thicken rather than smear the note they precede, and let the closing diddle rebound smoothly into the next repetition. Slow, metronomic practice keeps the accent, the drag, and the diddle all landing where they should.
|
||
|
||
## In Practice
|
||
|
||
Drag Paradiddle #1 is a cornerstone of rudimental snare solos and a favorite for developing control of drags inside a moving sticking pattern. On the kit it orchestrates well — accent on one drum, drag and diddle spread across others — and it leads directly into its heavier companion, Drag Paradiddle #2.
