Note:  On your phone, PDF documents may only open if you choose the “Save, Replace, or Keep Both” option and then it will be downloaded and notify you of this on the top of your screen.  Open it there or in your Downloads folder and it will give you the option to Open with Adobe Acrobat, Drive, or some other PDF app you have installed on your phone.  If you watch the associated video, it will open in another tab/window so that you can easily bounce back & forth between the PDF doc and the video.  If your screen is big enough you can even arrange the windows next to each other!

 

 

 

 

 

Drum Rudiments are “building blocks” of various foot/hand/sticking patterns used to build Technique & Stick-Control given various rhythmic notations and countings to create a fundamental “vocabulary” for the drummer to “master” and then build on.  The are so important because they can be applied to everything in drumming!

Simple-strokes:

– all of these can be compressed into Compound-strokes for the next section –

 

 

Single-strokes – Alternating Simple-strokes

 

Diddles – Combinations of Single & non-rolled Doubled Simple-strokes, can be compressed into Double-strokes in next section

 

Triples – 3 Repeating Simple-strokes, can be compressed into Triple-strokes in next section

 

Quadruple-strokes – 4 Repeating Simple-strokes – YouTube Playlist

 

3-8 Multiple-strokes & Combos – Video Part 1 and Part 2

 

 

Compound Strokes created by a Principle-stroke with either grace-note Setup-strokes preceding it or Echo-strokes trailing it:

– all of these can be expanded to become Simple-strokes as above –

 

 

Double-strokes – 1 Principle + 1 Echo, often with other strokes like 1 or 2 Singles for rolls, and can be expanded into Diddles above

 

Triple-strokes – 1 Principle + 2 same-hand Echoes, often with other strokes like 1 or 2 Singles for rolls, and can be expanded into Triples above

 

Flams – 1 Setup + 1 Principle, optionally with other strokes above

 

Drags – 2 same-hand Setups + 1 Principle, optionally with other strokes above

 

Ruffs – 2 or more non-same-hand Setups + 1 Principle, optionally with other strokes above

 

Multiple-Bounce Strokes or Buzzes – 1 Principle + unspecified number of Echoes, optionally with other strokes above
