Welcome to Drum Rudiment world! There are 40 of The Percussive Arts Societys Essential Snare Drum Rudiments, and audio play-along files.

The National Association of Rudimental Drummers, an organization established to promote rudimental drumming, put forward a list of 13 essential rudiments, and later a second set of 13 to form the original 26. The Percussive Arts Society reorganized the first 26 and added another 14 to form the current 40 International Drum Rudiments

Drum Rudiments are one of the most important aspects of drumming. They are the building blocks to every drum beat, pattern, fill, and solo. Whatever your skill level is on the drums, practicing your rudiments is a must. Even if you are an advanced drummer, it’s always good to go over some of the more technical rudiments.

To get started, grab your sticks and a practice pad and select a rudiment from one of the rudimental families！
