Rudiments ABC’s of Drumming Always play rudiments slow-fast-slow Only 40 rudiments Free poster from Vicfirth.com (you’re their biggest advertiser) Most of the drum rudiments are variations of each other, meaning it is not too hard to learn all 40 rudiments. For example, if you can play a flam stroke, and a paradiddle pattern, you should have no trouble playing the flam paradiddle Open Roll Paradiddles Flam Single Stroke Roll Double Paradiddles Flam Tap Buzz Roll Triple Paradiddles
