The 40 Drum Rudiments are an essential part of learning to play the drums. These patterns form the basic building blocks or "vocabulary" of drumming, and can be combined in a great variety of ways to create drumming music.

Practicing the rudiments can sometimes be a little boring - sorry but it is true so to make it more interesting Rose Drum School always uses the Vic Firth website drum rudiments pages. These pages cover every rudiment and have audio playalong files to gradually increasing speeds to help you track your progress.
