Rudiments are the foundation of modern day drumming, and so mastering them is key to improving your abilities. Understanding the key differences, and what certain rudiments can be used for will also improve your understanding of how to apply them around the kit in a written or improvisational setting.

…and how to apply these tools to specific instruments.

This course puts you in command. Fetch in your own device or borrow one of ours and learn to make better tracks!

The foundation of any great production. Get the drum sound right and the rest of the recording is so much easier!

It's OK to use a bit of studio trickery from time to time – I won’t tell!
