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.

If rudiments are to be used on a drumkit, the point of the rudiment is to end your fill on your left hand, ergo, leaving your right hand free to hit the cymbal. Much of the Rudiments are just multiple rudiments combined.

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]]

==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.
