Learning the Drum Rudiments
By Kevin | May 13, 2008
If you’ve been playing the drums for a little while, you’ll know that the Drum Rudiments are one of the most essential parts of learning to play the Drums
Drum Rudiments are specific patterns that the sticks play that make up the various beats and fills that the drummer uses in a song.
To master the Drum Rudiments you first have to play them slowly and carefully on a practice pad or snare drum, and then when you’ve got the sticking pattern down you can use the Rudiment in your drum patterns on the Drum Set.
I’ve talked a lot about Rudiments on one of my other Blogs, The Percussion Education Blog
The Single best product available for helping you learn the Rudiments is the Drum Rudiments System from Railroad Media. In this product Lionel Duperon methodically demonstrates the 40 Drum Rudiments, and then demonstrates applications on the Drum Set
