Product Description
Inspired by over 20 years of teaching, this is a must-have collection of technique builders and rudimental applications for every drummer. The book provides a step by step progression through all the major rudiments - providing basic exercises to help master each rudiment and then a set of practical applications on the drum kit.
Sections in Rudimental Rundown include Single Strokes, Double Strokes, Paradiddles, Flams, Drags, and all combination rudiments. There is a detailed look at buzz stroke and double stroke technique, as well as a set of essential warm up exercises to use every day.
"If music is a language, and the drums are our voice, then technique and rudiments are the letters of our alphabet. We use these letters to build words that we then organise into sentences. The more words and sentences we have, the more things we can say, and the more confidently and individually we can express ourselves."
This book is also designed to be the perfect partner for students undertaking graded drum kit exams that include a technical component. Students learn how to prepare each rudiment and then apply them on the drums in the manner and difficulty required for each grade.
