Welcome to Donny Dee's section on Rudiments. "Rudiments" are the "foundation" of the art of drumming, much like the scales used by guitarists and keyboardists. They're used to acquire stick control and develop technique. While they were not originally or specifically designed for the drum kit, learning and applying these basic "building blocks" to the modern drum kit, and being able to play them in various musical compositions, is the difference between drumming great and being a "Great" Drummer. Below you will find the 40 rudiments as outlined by PASIC (Percussive Arts Society International) The "single lined" examples indicate the N.A.R.D. (National Association of Rudimentary Drummers) original basic essential rudiments. Multiple Bounce Roll Rudiments 4- 9 |
