Rudiments Crash Course

Choose a rudiment, review the sticking, and launch the DC metronome that will make you go faster.

These 40 essential rudiments make up the foundation of everything that we play on the drums. There are other hybrid rudiments, but these 40 will give you the foundation to play them all. You will learn the specific motion for each rudiment and what parts of your hands to focus on with each lesson. The Hand Technique course with Chad Wackerman will also guide you to perfecting each one of these rudiments. It doesn’t matter what level you are at, it’s important to have these all under your belt so that you can be well-rounded and apply them to everything that you play.

What You Will Learn:
  • The Roll Rudiments
  • The Paradiddle Rudiments
  • The Flam Rudiments
  • The Drag Rudiments
  • All the Specific Motions for the Rudiments
