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 (NARD), 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

==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]].

==Open, Closed, Open==

When used in auditions for orchestral gigs and school [[Honor Band|Honor Bands]], rudiments are almost always performed in an [[Open, closed, open]] format.
