'CREATIVE USE OF RUDIMENTS'

by Mitch Farmer

"In this book I'd like to share some ideas of exploring the rudiments of drumming. When we are first introduced to the rudiments, they may be seen as a series of sticking patterns and exercises. However, if applied with thought and creativity, the rudiments play a major role in the development of hands and feet, coordination, control, balance, dynamics, endurance, speed and fluency around the drums. This book explores different ways of using the rudiments in a contemporary and modern application. I hope this will shed some light in this area for you all." - author

THIS BOOK COVERS: Basic Music Theory / What Is A Rudiment? / The Grip & Stroke / Drum Set Application / Fill Ins & Groove Ideas

Chapters include: single and double stroke rolls, five & seven stroke rolls, single and double paradiddles, flams, dynamics & meanings, time signatures & dotted notes, musical notation and more. 76 pp.
