Rudiments are the alphabet of drumming — you’ll find them everywhere you play.
Absolutely! They’re essential for solid technique and tight timing.
Start slow, use a metronome, and stay consistent. Patience is half the battle.
Begin with simple exercises, keep a relaxed posture, loose ankles, and take breaks often. Balance and endurance come with time.
Mix different rudiments, move around the toms, add foot combinations, and play with dynamics — avoid repeating the same patterns.
Practice rudiments leading with your left hand. Over time, it will catch up with your right.
Stay relaxed, sit properly, and don’t forget to breathe. Tension drains your energy fast.
