216.170.179.209: /* Rudiment Lists */

A '''rudiment''' is a foundational [[drum]] pattern used as an exercise.

Informally it can mean any percussion exercise, but it is most commonly associated with [[snare drum]] patterns.

==Rudiment Lists==

There have been several attempts to formalise a recommended list of snare drum rudiments, especially among marching band instructors. The [[National Association of Rudimental Drummers]], an organisation established to promote rudiment-based drumming, put forward a list of 26 rudiments.

More recently, the [[Percussive Arts Society]] has extended this to a set of 40 "International Drum Rudiments".

They are

# The Single Stroke [[drum roll|Roll]]*
# The Single Stroke Four
# The Single Stroke Seven
# The Multiple Bounce [[drum roll|Roll]]
# The Triple Stroke [[drum roll|Roll]]
# The Double Stroke Open [[drum roll|Roll]]*
# The Five Stroke [[drum roll|Roll]]*
# The Six Stroke [[drum roll|Roll]]
# The Seven Stroke [[drum roll|Roll]]*
# The Nine Stroke [[drum roll|Roll]]*
# The Ten Stroke [[drum roll|Roll]]*
# The Eleven Stroke [[drum roll|Roll]]*
# The Thirteen Stroke [[drum roll|Roll]]*
# The Fifteen Stroke [[drum roll|Roll]]*
# The Seventeen Stroke [[drum roll|Roll]]
# The Single [[Paradiddle]]*
# The Double [[Paradiddle]]*
# The Triple [[Paradiddle]]
# The Single [[Paradiddle]]-Diddle
# The [[Flam]]*
# The [[Flam]] Accent*
# The [[Flam]] Tap*
# The [[flam|Flamacue]]*
# The [[Flam]] [[Paradiddle]]*
# The Single [[flam|Flammed]] Mill
# The [[Flam]] [[Paradiddle]]-Diddle*
# The [[Pataflafla]]
# The [[Swiss Army Triplet]]
# The Inverted [[Flam]] Tap
# The [[Flam]] [[Drag]]
# The [[Drag]]*
# The Single [[Drag]] Tap*
# The Double [[Drag]] Tap*
# The [[Ratatap]]*
# The Single [[Dragadiddle]]
# The [[Drag]] [[Paradiddle]] 1*
# The [[Drag]] [[Paradiddle]] 2*
# The Single [[Ratamacue]]*
# The Double [[Ratamacue]]*
# The Triple [[Ratamacue]]*

Rudiments indicated with an astersik above are those also found in the NARD list.

==Practical Use==

Some rudiments are rather esoteric, such as the Single Flammed Mill and the Ratatap, and are used only in a very small number of drum parts. They can still provide valuable practice to all percussionists, however, as they exercise different degrees of hand-independence and fine stick control.

Others, such as the [[Flam]], [[Drag]] and [[Paradiddle]] form the basis of a wide range of rhthms in orchestral, drum-kit and marching percussion. The [[Paradiddle]] in particular is very versatile, forming the basis of many popular music [[drum fill|drum fills]].
