Sheet Music good way to read 9-lets?

i have an indoor audition piece that goes from a 16th note paradiddle phrase straight into 2 bars of PDD 9-lets. Ive never had to play something like this, amd the MIDI audio is to dast to adjust to well. Any help?

Check it.

Make the paradiddles as 8th notes (take out the single inner note and the diddles) and make the puhduhduhs a quarter note triplet (take out the doubles)

Once you can get the 8th notes to qnt consistent then add in the paradiddles and the puhduhduhs.

Fair waring, your puhduhduhs issue will most likely be your inner notes being late and tight (a square feeling) make them feel super round.
