Summary: Do you want to learn the Drum Rudiments? This section of FreeDrumLessons.com has detailed lessons that walk you through each rudiment individually. They start by breaking down the basic pattern on the snare drum, and then follow-up with demonstrations within the context of drum beats and fills. This way you can see how the rudiments can be used around the entire drum set! As you will see, the 40 drum rudiments are essentially the building blocks for every drum beat, fill, or pattern that you could ever play. Just as letters and words make up all the sentences on this page, the drum rudiments make up all the patterns you play at on the drum set. Now, you might not use all the rudiments. In fact, it is rather unlikely that you have used each and every one within your everyday drumming. However, if you practice and fine-tune your ability to play all 40 of the rudiments, you will unlock new and creative ways to express yourself on the drums!
